Not long ago, I wrote about upgrading a laptop to an SSD. I’ve been using the OCZ SSD in that Acer Ferrari for several months now, and it’s all been working well.

The dearth of blog posts here is not alarming. It’s a good sign. No, really.
Actually, I’ve just been busy. Here’s just a few things I’ve got cooking:

- The eight card roundup I wrote for Maximum PC (print) also went online
- And in a trifecta, my column on the state of AMD also went up at Maximumpc.com
- I just wrapped up a formal book proposal and submitted that (more details if it gets approved)
On a related note, it looks like I’ll be writing a couple of articles a month, plus blogging for Anand Shimpi over at Anandtech. I’m looking forward to that.
More stuff to come here as well, so stay tuned.
