  • 31 Jan, 2005

Not only did Apple release new Powerbooks today but they also come with a few cool new features. Ready to Scroll Scrolling through web pages or large documents on a trackpad can challenge even the most nimble fingers. That’s why every PowerBook G4 features a new trackpad with scrolling capability. Just drag two fingers over […]

Comment Spam! Someone help.

  • 30 Jan, 2005

When I installed WordPress I also installed spam stopper. That worked pretty good until recently. So far today I’ve gotten 30 comment spams. They are all moderated so the public doesn’t see them but it’s still a pain in the butt. Can anyone suggest a good spam stopping method? Since spam is all just bots […]

Google vs Firefox?

  • 28 Jan, 2005

Google has hired not one but two of the main Firefox team members. This helps strengthen the Firefox based Google browser rumors and make me wonder if in a few months we’ll be making so much noise about the new GoogleFox (or gBrowser or whatever) and tossing Firefox aside. I highly doubt that’ll happen though, […]

OmniOutliner Review

  • 28 Jan, 2005

Organization. It’s not one of my stronger features but I’m trying. Lately I’ve been using OmniOutliner to keep track of random notes and messages. This works better than Stickys but I still use them to. At home I have OmniOutliner 2 and at work I have OmniOutliner 3. Version 2 is much simpler and uses […]

Mac Blinkx Mini Review

  • 25 Jan, 2005

We’ll I installed Blinkx last week thinking I’d run it for a while and write a review. I’ve been running it but not using it much. It does work as advertised, however it doesn’t seem like something I need. Granted I’ve never used the Google or Yahoo Desktop searches, since their not available for the […]

Lighted Firewire Cable Issues

  • 23 Jan, 2005

I once posted on a sweet lighted firewire cable I got that had blue LED lights in each end. It was pretty sweet, however each light as since burned out leaving a brown spot in their place. The bigger issue here is that I’ve started to notice how much hotter the ends of the cable […]

Mac mini and iPod shuffle Impressions

  • 22 Jan, 2005

We stopped by the Apple store today and checked out the ultra tiny, ultra cool Mac minis and iPod shuffles. Yes, they are supposed to be small but until you actually see them you don’t realize how small they are. It’s amazing what Apple can put in such a small area. I was very impressed […]

Broke Snow Drought

  • 22 Jan, 2005

Finally, the Twin Cities snow drought is over. Yesterday we got about 6 inches of snow and does it ever look good. It made driving horrible but once we got home it was fine. 😉

Creation of MacThemes includes Me

  • 21 Jan, 2005

As I was checking out the sites (via RSS) that I do on a daily basis I came across the history of MacThemes.net. I skimmed though the article on how the basis for the site was thought up and created and what did I see? Me! 😀 They were nice enough to mention my brief […]
