HP, Mac and the DAWG

Could this be....2 posts in 1 week?!?! :)

I feel better today. Went on a small run even. That felt good. I actually took the new dog, Tennie. Tennie went on a run with wifey-poo right after we got her. 4 miles and did great! A few days later she got to go on another run and did not do so well. I braved the task today she did well. We did about 2.2 miles (not long I know) but it was good to get her out. More importantly, I took her up the trail a bit. She did pretty well. Not too much sniffing. She stuck pretty close to me and in the places where the trail was wider, she ran right next to me. Tennie is adjusting to her humans so well.

This week was yet another crazy week. I think I finally got our new website done. Its getting the once over this weekend and should go up for this week's NAILBA conference. Between work, being sick, end of the season soccer party and just life, it was a busy week.

I did have another "it just works" experience with my Macbook this week. We have an HP Printer/Scanner/Copier/DoMaJiggy. Anyone that has ever installed all the HP drivers and their Solution Center know, it is a pain in the ass!! As a Product Manager, I have to ask HP; "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?" I encourage HP to actually talk to their customers about what they want. I bet a lot of them just want to print or scan something....

Anyway, I digress. I had to scan something and decided to give a try on the Mac. Hooked it up to the USB on the HP Officejet 6400 (or wahtever it is). Did a quick Google of how to scan on a Mac (found it on MacForums which has been a great resource through the switch). I took the steps it told me to. And what you know, it scanned!!! No HP software needed to be installed. IT JUST WORKED!

This week should be fun. Lots of fun stuff in the hopper.
