iPod Nano Completely Remastered Desktops

  • 28 Sep, 2006

Introducing the iPod Nano Completely Remastered desktop pictures. I really like Apple’s new ad, however I was unable to find any good desktop pictures to go along with the ad. So I took the time to create six desktops based off Apple’s new iPod Nano ad. Desktops ~ 1MB Each: Pink, Blue, Green Dark Pink, […]

Google Calendar and iCal Do Jive

  • 27 Sep, 2006

Humm… much like most of my problems, once I complain about them, they get solved. So here is what I learned about Google Calendar. My public WebDEV calendar just needed time to refresh. A good hour or two and Google loaded it no problem. My FTP calendars loaded just fine once I removed the robots.txt […]

Google Calendar and iCal Don’t Mix

  • 27 Sep, 2006

I’m not sure if it’s just me or not, but I can’t seem to get Google Calendar to work well with Apple’s iCal. I have FTPed my calendars up to a folder on my website, pointed Google Calendar to those ics files and yet, nothing shows. I’ve even published my iCal calendars on a public […]

iTunes 7 Erased my iPod

  • 12 Sep, 2006

Really, it was all my fault, but Apple could do a bit better job at warning a guy. I was playing around with the new iTunes 7 when I came across my iPod stats. Pretty nifty. I clicked on the Music tab and decided to sync a playlist. My wife hates it when she downloads […]

Technology is Bitter Sweet

  • 8 Sep, 2006

Ahh it’s a bitter sweet time. A few days ago Apple announced all new iMacs with twice the processor speed at a lower price. Now, I love my iMac, but it’s always hard to see the new machines arrive just months after I got mine. Being in the forefront of technology is next to impossible […]

Mac User Installs XP

  • 28 Aug, 2006

I’ve just finished installing Windows XP Home (Service Pack 2) and it was quite the process. I’m so happy to be a Mac user. 🙂 It started off just trying to figure out how to boot off the CD. Mac OS install CDs say right on them, to startup off the CD hold down the […]

What is my dream application?

  • 21 Aug, 2006

My Dream App contest has been announced!  It’s loosely based on the American Idol concept where contestants enter and then the public votes for one application until it becomes a reality! The good news is, you don’t have to have talent!  Just come up with a great idea for a Mac application, enter it, and […]

Now Using OpenDNS

  • 18 Aug, 2006

I’m not sure why, but I bought into the hype. OpenDNS is a free service that claims to make the internet better. It’s safer as it warns against phishing attacks, supposedly speeds up my connection and is smarter about a few domain typos. It’s quick and easy to setup as long as you have access […]

Parallels + Ubuntu = Kernel Panic

  • 15 Aug, 2006

I don’t know how people do it, but I’ve tried to install Ubuntu (Linux) over a dozen times in Paralles and it doesn’t work. The last time, my iMac ended up with a kernel panic. I have downloaded Ubuntu 6.06 (99% sure it is the right version), I upgraded my memory so now I have […]
