I might be getting old, even though I don’t feel old at all. Today, I realized that noise is really annoying. Sure, nobody enjoys noise, that’s probably why noise is such a negative word in the first place. But something is happening to me.

The reason I am thinking about my age or my mental stage in life, is that I have become more aware of noise than ever before.

And that’s not a good thing at all.

For instance, when it comes to my computers, I believe that a quite computer is what I believe is that most important part of using a computer. Not the design, not the speed, not the hard drive, but for me to be able to hear nothing. No fan that drives me nuts.

I bought a Dell Inspiron 530s a few months ago, after reading some really good reviews. Guess what, that’s probably the dummest thing I have done in a while, because I am hardly using it due to the fact that the fan is driving me nuts.

I am using my iMac instead, because it’s really quite (and it’s in fact awesome).

Being too aware of noise is a problem when you’re a father of two young kids.

I can’t seem to get any work done before 9 pm, and when I think about it, that’s probably a good thing. This way, I get to spend more time with my kids.

Even though noise really annoys me, I guess sometimes noise isn’t all that bad.
