Often tied in with other tech or code posts; Apple/Mac/iOS speculations, hacks, and other errata.
Making my usual round through the blogroll, I saw the Keynote Study article mentioned/discussed on Cult of Mac. Intrigued by the mention, I clicked through to the article itself. My but does someone need to go back to Statistics 101. The quote that Cult of Mac seemed to fix on was: Apple was the lone […]
For Pete … following our conversation the other day about AppleScript, here’s a brief concoction for your noodle: (* first, let’s launch some apps for fun: *) (* we’ll start w/ just Mail *) tell application “Mail” activate end tell (* then we’ll launch Safari and size the window *) tell application “Safari” activate repeat […]
Maybe I’m a little behind on this, maybe not… But here’s Kodawarisan’s iMac G5 anatomy documentation. Neat!
Finally got around to watching the WWDC 2004 keynote. Impressive. Do I think Tiger will be as phenomenal as Panther? Not really. But then again, I’ve eased down off of so much of the Panther innovations (e.g., “love the *idea* of FileVault” and “Sidebar is cool but not the greatest thing ever…”) But hot damn […]

Passing thought: Safari and/or Firefox plug-in/extention for Google searching that toggles whether/not to cross-reference search results against your history. Oh &emdash; and add configurable thresholds to that.
Gizmodo writes of Apple’s new G5 iMac…: I thought this picture from the floor in Paris does a lot better job of illustrating what the new iMac G5s look like in real life than Apple’s product images. This (of course?) hammers home but one point to me: Is this not currently the smallest 64-bit processor […]
For those not already using Quicksilver… WTF is wrong w/ you!?!? I was resistant to its alluring hype for a while. “Command-Space!? Who cares?” Oh, but you will care! Maybe I just didn’t read the fine-print of all those rave reviews but for whatever reason, I kept thinking that each time you invoke the little […]
Time for another one of the infamous ‘wishlist, a.k.a. “why don’t you go and develop it yourself, lamer?” posts… One bookmark list to link them all, one list to bind them. If you do any kind of web dev (PC or Mac, don’t matter…) then chances are you have not one but several damn browsers […]
