Now In A Smashing New Design

  • 26 Jan, 2007

Well here it is, the all new TwisterMc.com design for 2007. The last major design update was back in April 21st, 2005 and so it’s more than time for an update! This design offers more color, more personality and better sidebar organization. I’ve been working on it for about the past two months and I’m […]

No Fun with IE and CSS

  • 25 Jan, 2007

While re-designing my site I ran in to many issues related to Internet Explorer and CSS. To any web designer, this is nothing to new. I designed in Firefox and checked things in Safari and they were perfect. Opened up IE 6 and spend the next week or so re-working things. My biggest issue was […]

Chicklet & Social Creator Work in WordPress 2.1

  • 22 Jan, 2007

I have a test blog that I basically do anything with so I decided to take the chances and upgrade to WordPress 2.1 on it tonight. I didn’t perform a backup, I didn’t even disable any plugins, I just upgraded and in about two minutes I was done. Everything works great and looks good. My […]

From Around The Web : Flock, Seamonkey, Outlook, Idol

  • 21 Jan, 2007

I’ve never quite understood why people just leave a list of links to other sites, but now I do. Here is some news that I don’t have time to write about, but wanted to share. A new preview version of Flock, based on Firefox 2, is out with many additional features. Note, it didn’t import […]

Google Calendar Alarms in iCal

  • 18 Jan, 2007

I’ve been using Google Calendar for a while now and it’s been working out quite well. Since it’s web based, it’s everywhere I am and since it works off .ics files, it can be subscribed to in iCal. It’s almost perfect. Two of the features I miss the most are being able to edit a […]

We Love Our Wii

  • 14 Jan, 2007

We’ve been busy playing our Wii this weekend and having a blast. The technology associated with the motion sensor is amazing and we are not only having fun, but we are getting a workout. It’s interesting in Wii Sports that it knows how you are holding the bat in baseball, if you swing normal or […]

Great, Hard To Find, Firefox Themes

  • 12 Jan, 2007

Firefox themes are great and I’m always on the lookout for more. But sometimes, finding the coolest ones takes a bit of work. addons.mozilla.org is the first stop for finding any themes. However, this official listing doesn’t include everyone. Some theme developers don’t take the time to upload theirs for some reason. The second place […]

Correo Mail – Part Mail.app, Thunderbird & Incomplete

  • 10 Jan, 2007

The other day Hawk Wings tipped us off about a new mail application that is coming to the Mac. It’s called Correo and it’s sound like it has a lot of potential. Think of it like Camino, the cousin of Firefox that’s Gecko powered, but Mac pretty. Well Correo is the same thing. Gecko powered […]

We have a Wii, almost.

  • 10 Jan, 2007

We will get a Nintendo Wii on Thursday! After weeks of searching, I came up empty handed. However, one of my wife’s co-workers stumbled across one at Toys R Us today. Since she had one, she called Christi to see if we still wanted one. She said yes and now have to wait until tomorrow […]

Apple iPhone/PDA/iPod – Wow

  • 9 Jan, 2007

The announcement today of the Apple iPhone is amazing. The little device that can do phone, music, videos, tv and so much more blows me away. All this with no buttons, just a touch screen. It’s basically like a Mac Nano. It’s almost perfect. The main, and killer, downside is that it’s Cingular only. I’m […]
