I still want to do some tips and tricks about my favorite operating system, Mac OS X, but I never seem to have the time to do it and there are so many good ones for that already.  I&#8217;ll guess we&#8217;ll see what happens.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, look for some more posts from me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Pete<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was doing a little reading of The Bamboo Project Blog where Michele mentioned the 31 day challenge.
