Who are you and what do you do?

At The Sweet Setup:

Every week we post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.

Today’s victim, er, interviewee:

My name is Aaron Mahnke. I’m a freelance designer specializing in logos and icons, as well as app and website UI design. In my spare time, I write fiction, and have a number of novels available in most of the major ebook stores online. I blog occasionally on my personal site. I also make paper productivity tools that I sell online. Yes, paper. Sorry.

I work from home in the Boston area, where I live with my wife and two little girls. We live about 5 miles from the Atlantic and I can smell salt water from my office window. I love reading, writing, and playing games with friends. Recently, I’ve become addicted to Magic: The Gathering, and play that at the local game shop any chance I get. I’m a nerd, and I’m proud of it.

You can catch Aaron’s complete story here: Aaron Mahnke’s Sweet Mac setup.

Singing the Praises of MacBook Air

MacBook Air

MacBook Air is Apple’s best computer? Really?? Andy Ihnatko thinks so:

It’s a quadruple-absurdity: absurdly light and thin, absurdly powerful, lasts an absurdly long time between charges, and absurdly well-made and stylish, given its moderate price. It’s deeply, uncannily relevant too. The Air is a bridge between the mobile-style devices that society seems to be moving toward and those desktop-style apps and workflows that we aren’t quite ready to abandon yet. And though Apple made some sacrifices in designing the MacBook Air, each one makes perfect sense given the role these notebooks were meant to play.

Kyped from John Gruber’s Daring Fireball, here’s the whole piece: Andy Ihnatko’s window into the MacBook Air price drop.

Whaddaya think?
