How Genius is Genius?
Today Apple made some waves and refreshed all of their iPods and dropped iTunes 8 onto the intertubes. Considering none of the “announcements” were surprises due to Apple’s new lack of leak plugs, I was ready to try out the Genius feature before I knew that I could. Did you follow that? I hope so [...]
Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld… why?
Ok, so I don’t even know what to do with this. Jerry Seinfeld was tipped to be the new spokesperson for Microsoft. I guess they wanted to combat the very clever Mac vs. PC ads that Apple has been running for a few years now. I like Jerry Seinfeld, I even liked the HP commercial [...]
All Screened Out
Technology seems to be everywhere these days and definitely permeates my life. In fact, it is so intertwined with my life that I spend almost every waking moment staring at a screen of some sort. I mean, in the morning I check email and RSS feeds while eating breakfast, then it’s off to work where [...]
iPhone 2.0 Initial Reactions
The iPhone 3G was released today to much hype and excitement, but I have been looking forward to today for another reason: the iPhone 2.0 Software Update. It wasn’t as smooth a road as it could have been, but 2.0 is running on my phone and I’ve got to say it’s pretty awesome.
A year ago [...]
Juno Digital Copy is Blogtastic!
One of the things announced at MacWorld that excited me was Fox’s digital copy. Applications like Handbrake and Mac the Ripper have enabled people to copy DVDs to their hard drives for years. The argument for this process has always been fair use. However RIAA and the MPAA would beg to differ and have you [...]
Sliming Down the Newsreader
In the ongoing attempt to encourage more creativity in my life I took a few minutes to slim down NetNewsWire yesterday. Dropping the subscription count from an impossible to keep up with 73 feeds down to a very manageable 33 has actually given me a chance to read the stuff in them. Imagine that? Reading [...]
Indie Developers Surprise Me
It’s going on two years since I made the switch from PC to Mac and I haven’t looked back since. I still use Windows on occasion at work, since our database software is unfortunately Windows-only, though on the whole I’ve made the move full tilt. Over the last two years I’ve also made a switch [...]
Pimping my Time Machine
Back in October, upon the release of Apple’s OS X 10.5 Leopard, I started backing up my computer regularly for the first time in my life thanks to Apple’s Time Machine feature. Of course I was only backing up my iMac and figuring that since I sync my MacBook and iMac, the MacBook was being [...]
Why didn’t anyone tell me Front Row was awesome?
When I upgraded to Leopard awhile back I vaguely remember reading that Front Row, Apple’s “media center” type application, was updated to have an interface similar to that of the Apple TV. Well, I obviously paid no attention to it until yesterday when I was looking for something in the applications folder when I saw [...]

Someone has way too much free time…
The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs is a pretty funny blog written by none other than Fake Steve Jobs himself. He posted this today and it reminded me of the similar song I have in my iTunes library with sound bytes from Windows 2000. Yes, I am that big of a geek.
And that person is [...]
