Another freelancer whose career I’ve followed for some time, Patty Ayers, has made a similar shift in her mode of working as I’m about to make with my shift to the Air.
Although Patty is on a PC laptop, her goals are similar. She travels yearly to Mexico for an extended stay and so has come to rely on cloud-computing as a way to keep her business lean and mean and ultra-portable. Patty runs Ayers Virtual, and blogs about Making Websites.

I love the idea that you CAN do art and make money. Realistic approaches and interviews with some of my favorite artists, including Leah Piken Kolidas and Michael Nobbs.
I've been recommending Lynda.com instructional vids for 10 years. And guess what? ‒ they still have the best online training, period. Is it time to learn something new? Become adept at all sorts of new media and technology.

Since I haven’t even made it to geek level 1 can you explain “cloud computing”. I’m guessing doing everything using web-hosted apps.
Yep.
Although, I’m thinking my stuff will be less “in the cloud”. I’m mainly thinking that I’d like to take better advantage of all the cool, fun stuff that comes built into any Mac. And, at the same times, stop bending over backwards accommodating things PC. (Because it’s not really necessary in most cases anyway.)
