Often tied in with other tech or code posts; Apple/Mac/iOS speculations, hacks, and other errata.
Downloaded and installed Firefox 3 this morning 1; here are some first impressions from throughout my first day of use: Content rendering seems improved. Not sure if it actually is improved or not. Just feels that way 2. Noted that it seems to use the default OS X buttons for otherwise unstyled form buttons now. […]
My otherwise limitless love for Quicksilver has recently been tempered by a burgeoning love for the addition of Quick Look to Mac OS X in the 10.5 version. Pre-Quick Look, Quicksilver was hands-down the fastest way to access and open files. ⌘+Space → type a few characters → and you were on your way. In some instances you still […]
Already “link-dumped” on July 28th but 1… Here are the detailed notes: it would seem that as of today (July 28th) Google has added CalDAV support to their online calendar 2! The short version of what this means? Now you can get “native” reciprocal syncing between your Mac’s iCal and your gCal 3. “Just follow these […]
Taking the Aperture plunge… After about four years and approximately nine thousand digital images collected, processed, managed, and shared via iPhoto, we’ve more/less out-grown it around this house. Yes: this coincides in large part with the DSLR upgrade and the desire to shoot RAW but iPhoto just didn’t seem to be cutting it for us. […]
A few thoughts on Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”) after having spent a solid week using it: Spaces. I didn’t think that I was going to use this at all but it turns out that it’s a great alternative to minimizing certain windows. Example: during the day I typically run all the apps I need and […]

While I am not really an adherent to GTD philosophy credited to David Allen, the truth is that a decent task management […]
OS X 10.4.11 is out. Included in the update is Safari 3. Initial, 30-second impressions? Well, Safari can finally rock-and-roll with all of the WordPress editor features. So I’m happy about that. (Now to bring all of my Camino bookmarks back over…) Everything else looks like bug fixes, patches, security updates, compatibility improvements, and the […]
Hold down cmd+ctrl when you hover over a link in VoodooPad; you’re in for a treat: Just more evidence that this is the greatest application available today.
I didn’t exactly “get it” with the iPhone but this week’s release of the iPod touch has me convinced: when the much-rumored, ever-coveted “tablet Mac” comes, it’s going to be an iPod. It’s going to be a big iPod (form-factor-wise, x- and y- but not z-axis-wise) with some extra, even fancy features — but it’s […]
