			<cite><p>My desktop these days. For the nerdcore, that’s <span class="caps">OSX</span> Snow Leopard with Windows 7 64-bit running under Parallels 5.0 with its new Crystal mode and the new MacLook turned on for the Windows apps. Front and center are IE8 and Visual Studio where I spend most of my time these days. It performs nicely and reliably so far. Still not sure how I feel about it though. (shudder) Man, that’s a nerdy abomination.</p></cite>
