Not so ToughSkin

18 Oct, 2005

Since I have an new iPod, I need a new skin for it. So I was shopping around eBay when I found a ToughSkin. This had all the features I wanted; mainly it had to look good and have the round part on the back for a belt clip. So I bought it. A few […]

Opening the Mac Mini

16 Oct, 2005

I don’t think Apple ever wanted people to open the Mac Mini. Over the weekend my father in law and I installed memory in his and was it ever hard. I did a lot of searching and Smash’s World has a video that tells you how to open the little machine. Just take a puddy […]

Blogging from Flock

14 Oct, 2005

Wow. I’m looking at a preview release of Flock for the Mac! It’s got an awesome icon, excellent interface and I can blog from within Flock to my WordPress blog. I think it’s based on Firefox 1.5 How cool is that! Doesn’t import Firefox settings though, or so I’ve found. That’s my two minute review. […]

Hot Air Balloon Ride

14 Oct, 2005

For our wedding anniversary (ok so a few weeks after the actual date) Christi and I went on a hot air balloon ride! It was a crisp 30° at dawn when we went up but that didn’t stop us. It’s a little tricky on the take off and landing but other than that it’s smooth […]

New iPod First Thoughts

30 Sep, 2005

Well I’ve had Chester, my new iPod, for over a week now and I haven’t gotten to play with him much. My old iPod is working just fine and my new iTrip hasn’t arrived just yet. However, here are my current issues with the iPod. First, Apple cuts costs by packing the iPod with a […]

Hello Chester – My new iPod

I was all excited the other day when it arrived. My new iPod. 20 gigs, full color screen and best of all it was free! I think I’ll call him Chester.I did one of those free iPod deals after researching it to make sure I wasn’t going to get screwed over. And it worked! All […]

Charamel Best Firefox & Thunderbird Theme

22 Sep, 2005

I try and check out all the themes for Firefox and Thunderbird that I can, however only one has ever really impressed me. That theme is Charamel. This theme has had a lot of work put into it and it’s absolutely beautiful. Everything works together and it’s a joy to use. There are even elements […]

Nvu I want to use you.

21 Sep, 2005

Nvu is yet another spawn of the Mozilla family. This time, non-Mozilla employees ripped out Composer, the HTML editor that can be found in the Mozilla Suite. They then re-worked it into a stand alone application called Nvu. Now I was all excited to hear about this project. How could it be bad? Well I’ve […]

Camino’s cool, but…

16 Sep, 2005

I downloaded the latest release of Camino yesterday by accident. (I clicked on a link and it started downloading.) Anyways, it’s a sweet little browser. Light weight, fast, looks great and all around nice to use. However, without spell check, it hardly gets used on my computer. The developers know that spell check is wanted, […]

iPod nano Mini Review

10 Sep, 2005

We stopped by the Mall of America today and I had to go into the Apple store. The iPod nano was on my must see list. My impression? It was amazing! It was tiny, fast, beautiful and I didn’t want to put it down. This little device is speedy, full of features and an amazing […]
