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. […]

Flock Finally Goes Universal

  • 8 Jun, 2006

When I saw Flock today on MacUpate, the same question passed though my mind, ‘is it Universal yet?’ I have an Intel iMac at home and Flock performed less than great. I’m not sure why but it just felt wrong. So, I searched for a build that ran natively on Intel Mac processors with no […]

Taylor Hicks Wins – So What

  • 24 May, 2006

Well Taylor Hicks did it. The guy who looked 40 and acted 18 won American Idol. But what kind of album will he make? Can he succeed on the radio? Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good guy who is talented, but I’m having a hard time seeing him being truly successful. Taylor wasn’t my […]

Long couple of days.

  • 23 May, 2006

Boy it’s been a long couple of days. My wife missed a step on Saturday and broke three bones in her ankle.  It wasn’t until Monday afternoon that she was able to come home from the hospital.  We are both very glad to have her home but for the next six weeks or so we […]
