Skype – Cheap Internet Phone Service

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

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 […]

5 Reasons To & Not To Use Flock

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 […]

Are there any OPML syncing services?

As I bounce back and fourth between Firefox and Flock, I realize that I really need some sort of OPML syncing service. A quick Google and Yahoo search came up with nothing. Is there really no service to sync OPML files between browsers? I have Sage in Firefox and Flock has a nice built in […]

Google Desktop Sidebar Mac

Google Desktop has a fun sidebar feature that can be used to show off Google widgets. However, this is only available on Windows. Erica Joy (I think she works for Google) figured out a simple work-around. Well kind of. Since Firefox can load any web page in the sidebar, she said that you just have […]

Google Analytics Goals Confuse Me

I’ve been playing around with Google Analytics’ goals recently and I don’t quite get how they work. They sound easy enough, but yet, they are very confusing. For example, when you add your goal, it says e.g. http://www.mysite.com/thankyou.html. But on the ‘My site’s pages are dynamically generated. How do I set up funnels and goals?’ […]

iTunes Screensaver

I’m not sure how long ago Apple added an iTunes screensaver but I just got around to playing with it. It’s kind of fun. It loads up all your album artwork and displays it on the screen. Then albums flip and change into new ones. It’s like an iTunes ad for your personal music. What […]
