Goodbye VoodooPad Lite, Hello Journler

  • 9 Aug, 2006

It wasn’t long ago when I was researching ‘junk drawer’ type applications. I wanted something to keep track of all my random information. Blog posts, images, URLs, notes and whatever else. My research ended with VoodooPad Lite; until now. Browsing MacUpdate, I came across Journler and I’ve never seen such a great application, especially for […]

WWDC Aftermath, Little Shock & Awe

  • 7 Aug, 2006

Well WWDC Apple announcements are over and what are we left with? Some cool stuff, but nothing earth shattering in my mind. New Mac Pro’s do sound sweet, but I’m not in need of a Pro machine. My iMac works wonders! New Xserves too, again, not my area of expertise. The Leopard features were not […]

WWDC’s Here

  • 7 Aug, 2006

Well today is the big WWDC! Apples day to shine with new product and software announcements. But what can we expect? Well the only thing we know for sure is Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) will be previewed. We’ll get to see some of the 100+ new features. There is always over 100 new features so […]

Skype – Cheap Internet Phone Service

  • 26 Jul, 2006

A few weeks back my wife broke her ankle and I started working from home more to help her out. The main problem with that was that all we have is cell phones. A few meetings on the cell phone and we’d be over our minutes. So I checked out Skype and found it to […]

Dropping Yojimbo for VoodooPad Lite

  • 25 Jul, 2006

I’ve been looking into getting an application to clean up my desktop mess and I researched StickyBrain, MacJournal and Yojimbo. I like MacJournal and I’ve used it before, but I wanted to try something new, so I went with Yojimbo. Yojimbo is nice, works pretty good, but VoodooPad Lite came out and I found it […]

iTunes Screensaver

  • 6 Jul, 2006

I’m not sure how long ago Apple added an iTunes screensaver but I just got around to playing with it. It’s kind of fun. It loads up all your album artwork and displays it on the screen. Then albums flip and change into new ones. It’s like an iTunes ad for your personal music. What […]

Yahoo Messenger Mac 3 Beta 1 Review

  • 2 Jul, 2006

Incase you missed it, Yahoo released beta version 1 of their Yahoo Messenger 3 for the Mac. Overall, it’s an excellent leap forward. Now, most reviews you might read about Yahoo Messenger Mac 3.0 Beta 1 will end up saying that Adium rocks and is superior in most ways. Were as I can’t deny that, […]

Dropping Spotlight for Quicksilver

  • 26 Jun, 2006

Some people rave and rave about Quicksliver but I haven’t found anything special about until recently. I finally figured out something useful and cool to do with it. Under 10.3.9, which I still have at work, it acts like Spotlight. It’s an amazingly simple find feature that I bring up with the shortcut Apple+space. It […]

Watch Out Firefox – Flock Rocks

  • 12 Jun, 2006

When I discovered the other day that Flock has been updated, and was now a Universal Mac application, I decided to check it out. I thought Flock was cool back in the day, but now it rocks! I love my Firefox, but I’m constantly checking out new browsers to see what they have to offer. […]
