My Macbook Pro power adapter went up in a puff of smoke last night. I was typing on my computer when I smelled the distinct aroma of burning plastic. I looked at my computer and, behold, there was smoke coming from the magsafe connector. The computer itself is fine, but it no longer has any juice. It’s going to be about a week or so before it’s replaced (not sure why it takes so long, but I’m just glad AppleCare works out here, too).

This is probably the best time that this could happen. I’m leaving Thursday to explore parts of France, Belgium, and Luxembourg (time/money permitting). I wasn’t planning on taking my computer with me, but I wasn’t certain. Now, it seems, Apple has decided for me. Expect updates after the weekend.
