Now Using OpenDNS

  • 18 Aug, 2006

I’m not sure why, but I bought into the hype. OpenDNS is a free service that claims to make the internet better. It’s safer as it warns against phishing attacks, supposedly speeds up my connection and is smarter about a few domain typos. It’s quick and easy to setup as long as you have access […]

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 […]

AttachmentReminder – Never Forget Attachments

  • 6 Aug, 2006

AttachmentReminder is quite possibly one of the most useful extensions for Thunderbird. What it does is allows you to add keywords that relate to attachments and, on send, if it finds one of those keywords, but no attachment, it’ll warn you. I simply have attach in AttachmentReminder’s keyword list and anytime any word contains attach, […]

Lycos Mail Mini-Review

  • 3 Aug, 2006

Well Lycos is the newest contender in the competition to win over your email business. So, jumping on the bandwagon, I gave Lycos Mail ago. Overall, it’s nice, but lacking. The interface looks really nice. It has a good color scheme and an up-to-date graphics. However, the graphical ads kill it. It tarnishes the nice […]

The Second Press made a quick post yesterday about IT|Redux’s updated Web 2.0 database of applications. After checking it out, I have to say this is one of the finest lists I’ve seen. It’s a fantastic list organized by type of application and lists some features & reviews of each. I highly recommend checking it […]

Yahoo Answers Rocks!

  • 31 Jul, 2006

I wasn’t to interested when I read about Yahoo Answers launching, but after trying it, I’m very impressed. Not only is Yahoo Answers easy to use, it also gives very good answers and the turn around is anywhere from a few minutes to a day. I’ve asked two questions, one on cats and one on […]

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 […]

Flock is an up-and-comming web browser. Based on Firefox’s rendering engine and having quite a few of the same qualities, Flock should be a contender as it works it’s way towards 1.0. However it has some good and some not so good qualities. Five Reasons To Use Flock 1) Nice Feed Reader – Granted, there […]
