I always knew there was some reason I liked Sydney Bristow… she uses a Mac! Yup, as evidenced here from season one episode 14 “The Coup”. The image below is the first such proof. In the screenshot below Syd is hacking into a casino surveillance system to change a photo in their facial recognition [...]
Today marks the last day of May so I’ll be gathering monthly website statistics today and tomorrow. Today I’ll be gathering stats regarding my position on the search engines. Tomorrow website traffic statistics.
A popular suggestion for dieters is not to pay too much attention to your daily weight. The body naturally fluctuates a little [...]
Prior to obtaining Mac OS X “Tiger” I thought the most valuable feature to me would be Dashboard. After having Tiger purring for a few weeks I must say that I’m not a huge fan of Dashboard… yet.
My first impressions were not very good at all. Dashboard was slow… very slow. From the time [...]
David Pogue of the New York times published a fantastic article (free membership required) a couple days ago regarding the timeless debate of Windows vs. Mac.

10% to oddball projects
I’ve taken that and adapted it to my [...]

I just picked up a copy of Cultured Code’s Xyle Scope application. It absolutely rocks and is a must have application for any Mac website designer. Any web site designers on other platforms should switch to a Mac just for this application. A quote on their website sums up what is so beautiful about [...]
Update #2 I’m using Navicat again for several of my MySQL database tasks, and still enjoy the product. They have also changed their upgrade policy so that users are entitled to all minor updates to the same major version. Very cool!
