Now a Mac co-owner

Matt and I made the big decision to buy a macbook air, this is not the biggest decision we've made this year, but it's a big decision to go from PC to mac. So far I'm liking the mac, I used it a lot during my undergraduate graphic design studies so it's pretty much like riding a bike.

Update on his parent's visiting the US...we are still trying to get interview appointments.  It is extremely hard for Iranian applicants to get US visas, especially in Turkey.  Every applicant who needs to make an interview, either immigrant, business, tourist, medical, etc. needs to call a number but get this...you can only call the first Monday of the month between 8:30 and 6.   To make matters even worst they do not want you to call the US embassy in Turkey, instead they give you a US number to call but do not explain if you need to call the US number during Eastern time or on the same time zone as Turkey.  So we have tried for 2 months and failed.  We are hoping to get them an interview within the next few months.  So I take back anything I've ever said about the US embassy in Korea because there you could at least schedule the interview online.

Btw...I'm going to start updating my blog more frequently...I noticed the past few months have been 1 post per month.
