It’s not always about having the most unique new service. Sometimes, re-thinking the most boring tasks can be quite successful. For example, check out Wufoo. It’s purpose is to help you build web forms and collect data. It doesn’t sound very exciting but it’s well done and quite slick. I’d even say it’s fun. You […]

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.

Watching Wood Disappear

  • 5 Jun, 2006

It’s amazing how the simple things in life can be so enjoyable. We recently built a deck and all the old wood was piled in the front yard and the nails were removed. That was not the fun part. Once we were done, I had Christi make some signs that said ‘Free Used Wood’ and […]

Congrats Kari Rabe

  • 1 Jun, 2006

Kari Rabe from my hometown of Chatfield Minnesota was on Wheel of Fortune last night and did excellent. I think she went home with about $50,000!!! I know (knew) Kari as I was friends with her brother Luke in high school and I’ve hung out with the whole family. That was a long time ago […]

Parallels – Emulation Done Right

  • 26 May, 2006

I’ve taken Parallels for a test spin and I’m very impressed. VirtualPC was the best emulator around years ago and it still never worked very good. Now, with Parallels, you can run Windows (3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, Me, 2000, NT, XP, 2003), any Linux distribution, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2, eComStation, or MS-DOS while running OS X. […]
