11 years ago today, shortly after getting my first personal Mac—the 11'' MacBook Air.

Man, I love my desktop.

After a little reverse Google Image searching, my desktop today...1

I turn 30 years old today. In the past 11 years, I've gone from an 11'' laptop to a 24'' all-in-one. My Dock still focuses on web browsing, writing, and my calendar.2 I'm trying out a new browser. I have work and personal email. I miss the inkwell of Pages. I don't miss the FCPX clapper.

I'm not fresh out of high school. I have a kid. I still play video games. I don't have nearly the time I had back then. I still think of Super Mario Galaxy often. It was one of the first games I booted up with my 4K scaler. From 480p to 4K. From writing my review for The Last of Us in Pages to writing in Markdown daily. From 19-years-old to 30-years-old. From graduate to dad.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

And I am nothing, if not consistent.
