Midwest Tour Included Thai and Greek Food

  • 10 Dec, 2006

One good thing, or bad depending on how it turns out, is that when I go to conferences, I’ll go pretty much anywhere the group goes. Get a bunch of different and you never know where you’ll end up. While at SES in Chicago I found myself at two restaurants I wouldn’t normally try. The […]

Using Optimized Firefox Again

  • 30 Nov, 2006

Once again I’ve fallen for this grand idea of optimized versions of Firefox. I’ve tried them in the past only to fall back on the default Firefox. But here I go again. This time I’m running both G5 and Intel optimized versions with aqua widgets. I have to say, seeing check boxes and radio buttons […]

A Month with Google Reader

  • 1 Nov, 2006

I’ve been using Google Reader for about a month or so now and the transition to it has been pretty good. It’s got most of the features I want and works quite well. I think Google has a ways to go on it yet, but so far it has turned into my default feed reader. […]

Welcome IE7 & Firefox 2

  • 27 Oct, 2006

This week not one, but two big browsers made major upgrades. I’ve gotten a change to play with both and I think everyone is on the right track, some just a wee bit behind. IE7 has been a long time coming. I think they said IE6 was released 5 years ago or so? Anyways, the […]

Apple Support is Amazing

  • 19 Oct, 2006

I know I just wrote about how happy I was with my Apple Store Support experience, but I have to write a follow up. I just keeps getting better. Less than 24 hours after I took the iMac G5 in, it’s now home and working great. It got it’s hard drive replaced, it’s logic board […]

Apple Stores are Brilliant

  • 18 Oct, 2006

As I stand here in the Southdale Apple Store, I can’t but think about how great it was that Apple brought products and support to the people. You can’t get this kind of support over the phone. So what happened? Well my hard drive gave out this morning on my iMac G5. I immediately tried […]

Larry the Cable Guy : Health Inspector

  • 15 Oct, 2006

We rented Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector over the weekend and found it to be quite enjoyable. I think that all the bad reviews got our hopes down and when you go into a movie not expecting much, it turns out to be better than you expected. It was funny and worth our rent. […]

iClip vs iClip Lite – Multiple Clipboards

  • 9 Oct, 2006

A while ago I was introduced to iClip. iClip is a multi-clipboard application that records about as many items as you want. It can save the last three or 10 or 20+ clipboard items. Seeing as I have a tendency to copy something, then copy over it before I used the first one, this is […]

Google Reader Advances

  • 29 Sep, 2006

I can’t say I was ever a big fan of Google Reader, it was just a little to weird for me. However, the new Google Reader seems to be more advanced and much nicer. I’m actually quite digging the simple interface, nice layout and the stared or shared items.The only thing missing is browser integration. […]
