I’ve mentioned before that I’m not quick to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to upgrading to new technology. I didn’t immediately upgrade to Leopard when it came out, and I’m glad I waited. HDTV is another one of those areas where I’ve been slow to come around.
Basically I haven’t felt comfortable […]

I’ve been fooling with PicLens today. My recent foray into photography has caused me to up my consumption of photographs. I’ve been toying with a way efficiently subscribe to photostreams in flickr, picasa and the like. PicLens will most certainly be the method of choice for viewing these photos.

My biggest gripe to date about Leopard has been that Command+Tab cycles through every running application, not just the ones active in the current “Space”.

I know its a little New Year’s predictions, but Damnit, this blog didn’t even exist on New Year’s.  Sun Bought MySQL Today, so here’s my prediction:
Sun Abandons Solaris, and fully embraces Linux.  If that wasn’t enough, fueled by their new acquisition, they drop their commitment to Java, leaving it in the lap of Open JDK […]

I’m pretty hosed up this morning. My Mac won’t boot. Not even a whisper out of it when I hit the power button. All signs point ot the PRAM, which is supposed to be repairable by pushing the power button for 5 seconds with the battery out of the machine. That […]

The Macworld Keynote came and went.  Steve announced the coolest. thing. ever.  Or not.  A thin laptop with multitouch, Woo Hoo.  Its not gonna change my life.  Note:The iPhone might change my life, but I’m not gonna pay $399 to have my life changed and only get 8GB out of the deal.
There was something compelling […]
