Noted by Yahoo! today this as a "rare sale," as one of the best sales of the day.
I can't recall if I paid $799 or $749 for this MacBook Air, M4, 13-inch.
I think I paid $749 but can't be sure. Either way, my wife, for whom I bought it, says it was her best gift ever.
Except for the new car (2025).
As for me:
- I'm stilling using a MacBook Air, M1, 13-inch, released in 2020 (five years ago); and,
- driving a 2012 (bought in 2011) Honda Civic / a 2007 Chrysler minivan

The Book Page
I'm re-reading Keld Zeruneith's book, The Wooden Horse: The Liberation of the Western Mind, From Odysseus to Socrates, c. 2007. I've read the book through twice and many sections multiple times.
For students, the initial scaffolding:
- three historians: Homer, Hesiod, Pindar
- three tragedians: ASE -- Aeschylus (the old man); Sophocles (the rock star); and Euripides (the rebel)
- three philosophers: SPA -- Socrates, Plato, Aristotle (first scientist)
- 1+3 generals: Alexander the Great and his four generals -- Ptolemy, Seleucus, Antigonus and three major kingdoms
- Ptolemy: Egypt
- Seleucus: the Seleucid Empire -- Asia
- Antigonus: the Antigonid Empire -- Macedonia and Greece
- Kingdom of Pergamon (Pergamene Kingdom, Attalid Kingdom) -- Lysimachus
I've taken extensive notes on the book, first handwritten and then transposed to this site, my literature blog. To find all my notes on this book, search Keld at that site.
