Jamming at Ben’s

Sitting here thinking about how insanely awesome computers are nowadays from when I first started programming back in 1997.

Right now my computer is doing the following:

• Streaming KEXP.ORG College Radio station at 128kbps
• Downloading my songwriting blog via FTP.
• Reading the morning news in Google Reader.
• Downloaded the latest version of Wordpress and am extracting.
• Downloaded a Wordpress plugin and extracting.
• Editing a contact form in Dreamweaver.
• Writing this blog post!

Geez. 10 years ago doing all this would have been impossible, but my processor is humming along at 8% and I’m not even close to touching my 2GBs of RAM on the laptop.

Wonderful stuff.
