One Week With My Microsoft 5000 Mouse

  • 27 Jul, 2007

When my Mighty Mouse stopped scrolling down, I was sad. When I broke it trying to clean it, I was depressed. But now I have a Microsoft Wireless 5000 Laser mouse and I’m pretty happy once again. I’ve never been a Microsoft Fan. I refuse to install Word or Excel on my iMac and, come […]

Goodbye Mighty Mouse

  • 15 Jul, 2007

I had complained that my Apple Mighty Mouse could no longer scroll down and now it’s dead. I had taken it to the Apple store in hopes they’d help. Instead they sent me to YouTube to watch a video on how to clean the Mighty Mouse. Well, I tried to open the mouse and ended […]

Help Save A Startup – Zooomr

  • 30 May, 2007

One of my favorite startup companies is in need of help. Zooomr is a great photo sharing site much like Flickr or Photobucket. However, during a recent upgrade, they ran into major issues. Now they are in dire need of new database machines to get everything back online. One can donate via the Zooomr homepage. […]

From Around The Web : Flock, Seamonkey, Outlook, Idol

  • 21 Jan, 2007

I’ve never quite understood why people just leave a list of links to other sites, but now I do. Here is some news that I don’t have time to write about, but wanted to share. A new preview version of Flock, based on Firefox 2, is out with many additional features. Note, it didn’t import […]

Great, Hard To Find, Firefox Themes

  • 12 Jan, 2007

Firefox themes are great and I’m always on the lookout for more. But sometimes, finding the coolest ones takes a bit of work. addons.mozilla.org is the first stop for finding any themes. However, this official listing doesn’t include everyone. Some theme developers don’t take the time to upload theirs for some reason. The second place […]

Mac User Installs XP

  • 28 Aug, 2006

I’ve just finished installing Windows XP Home (Service Pack 2) and it was quite the process. I’m so happy to be a Mac user. 🙂 It started off just trying to figure out how to boot off the CD. Mac OS install CDs say right on them, to startup off the CD hold down the […]

Web 2.0 Applications List

  • 2 Aug, 2006

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 […]

Google Spreadsheets are Coming

  • 6 Jun, 2006

Google has announced Google Spreadsheets! It’s currently limited beta but I have high hopes for it. Google has Writely, an online word processing application and now a spreadsheet application. This is one step closer to Google Office. 😉 I have yet to get my Google Spreadsheet invite, but I’ve got on the list. For more […]

Parallels – Emulation Done Right

  • 26 May, 2006

I’ve taken Parallels for a test spin and I’m very impressed. VirtualPC was the best emulator around years ago and it still never worked very good. Now, with Parallels, you can run Windows (3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, Me, 2000, NT, XP, 2003), any Linux distribution, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2, eComStation, or MS-DOS while running OS X. […]

iRows : Web Based Spreadsheets

  • 13 Mar, 2006

I searched for a web based Microsoft Excel today and I found iRows. All the basics, none of the bloat or cost!! Today was a snow day and I was told not to come into work but rather work from home. Great idea except I treat my home computer differently than my work computer. For […]
