It’s been since last August that I have added new headers to the blog. That is, since I adopted the new template. The new headers (there are four) are from Buenos Aires, which joins Paris, Barcelona, Naples, Positano, and Philadelphia as the cities which have been memorialized in the header since the blog’s inception. The [...]
I can’t afford to go out so I’m sitting home Saturday night like a loser. Good thing I’ve been bitten by the web bug again and mocking up my work place’s web site turned into a night of energetic wrestling with my own sites and most notably this blog. I realize now how much I’ve [...]
For better or worse, my all-white iMac G5 is gone. I rushed home today after work because the new workhorse was supposed to be delivered between 1600-1800. I was running late. A friend had something happen and I had to wait until she got out and then there was the obligatory consolation. I must have [...]
The number of tears willfully unshed are accumulating faster than the dried leaves on the ground. I’m typing this on my laptop that’s sitting on top of my desk. My laptop, Julian, is occupying space where a keyboard would once sit. It’s empty this afternoon. This morning I packed up my beloved iMac G5 and [...]
I’ve had it up to here with nerds who insist on hacking iPhones for their own perverted purposes and then complain when the company who makes them tries to clamp down on the madness. I don’t use my television to mow my lawn, people. Stop crying foul, drama queens. The whole outcry reminds me of [...]
Remember how I said I had been chosen to be one of the First Fifty owners and reviewers of the Chumby? Well, it seems it was too good to be true. After the original e-mail telling me I was in the selected 50 and a follow-up e-mail to ask about my WiFi connection there’s been [...]
I was chosen to be one of the first fifty owners of the Chumby! I’ve never been picked for anything before. The Chumby people say they tried to pick a cross section of the mainstream market as their first 50 and they picked me. I wish I could remember what I wrote. I remember not [...]
The congregation of people in the back of the store is centered around the tables with sample iPhones. I held one for fifteen whole minutes. My contract with Cingular is up today (not like it matters), but there’s still a 2-year-old Razr in my bag. It isn’t that I don’t like the iPhone. it’s that [...]
There’s an article in Variety that ruminates on why the success of digital music online evades downloadable movies. I’m not a so-called expert and I don’t have FACTS and DATA and I clearly have no idea what I’m talking about but here’s why I’ve only bought one movie download (The Incredibles when the service was [...]
And it’s made up my mind. It won’t ship until June so I’ll need to get a new battery for my Razr and it’s expensive even with a two-year contract with Cingular. But from what I can see by watching the little movies on Apple.com, it’s perfect. It solves all my problems. The only thing [...]
Macworld starts tomorrow at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, I believe. The keynote will be Tuesday. There’s been so much speculation over what will be released, especially the legendary iPhone. What do I want out of Macworld? Here it is: I want a new iWork with a spreadsheet app just so people will shut [...]
The MacHeist promotion reached its zenith today with the announcement of the software bundle that the whole thing was supposed to promote. I was underwhelmed with the bundle. Here’s what it consisted of and here’s what I thought of it: 1. Delicious Library: What the whole use of the term “delicious” is and how it [...]
