Silverkeeper for Mac and PC Unity
In: Technology
29 Aug 2010There are some great programs and services for keeping files in sync. Personally I use Dropbox, but I have also used Live Mesh with great success. These services are great for managing a limited amount of files, but what if you need to manage a lot, like my nearly 100GB Lightroom photo collection on my [...]

Is Cable TV on Life Support?
In: Technology
17 Aug 2010I am sure they know it’s coming. I doubt customers are dropping like flies yet, because they are already paying for internet access and it’s not at the tipping point yet. Thing is, I am quite sure, I am not the only customer that has woken up and realized how little I actually need cable [...]

Back in the day being into photography, graphic design or video was easy, you just did the best you can when it comes to color. As soon as computers got good at handling color, a new crop of monitor calibrators came out. Now in a world with one monitor, calibrating your monitor is pretty easy. [...]
iPhone Rant, entitled: and what’s more…
In: Technology
19 Apr 2010Today I had a problem with my iPhone again. When I leave the office, I have to go down to an underground parking garage to get my car. Obviously I lose what little signal I actually get at work. One might think that as soon as you get out of the garage, you’d be fine. [...]

An open letter to the Linux community about customers
In: Technology
10 Apr 2010Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate. Just because your “users” aren’t paying, doesn’t mean they aren’t customers. They are absolutely customers and if you want their attention, you are going to have to woo them with the same intensity as the big dogs. Ok, that being said, an interesting conversation with [...]

My First 24 Hours with the iPad
In: Technology
4 Apr 2010It’s clicked over a day now. I have had this little device for 24 hours and while I still refuse to use the world magical, “cool” and “slick” have slipped out with regular frequency. To answer the first question I know people are asking, yes, it absolutely IS just a big iPod Touch. Now whether [...]

I read it again. It must have been the 100th time. I know I shouldn’t get so annoyed, but what can I say, I must be right at all costs. (at least that’s what my therapist tells me, or told me till I realized she was wrong and fired her) The offense in question? “Windows [...]
Get Thunderbird to show remote images by default
In: Technology
27 Mar 2010In Mozilla’s Thunderbird email client, the default says that every email that has images from the web is going to have it’s images blocked, and you have to enable the remote content BY email address. This can be really annoying. If you are pretty secure in your email manhood and don’t fear the web, you [...]

A guide to living on multiple computers and-or multiple operating systems
In: Technology
26 Mar 2010In a conversation with a friend this week, I realized that I have mastered a very dark art. I have figured out how to move around between many computers, using them frequently, while never being without my data and information regardless of the computer, the operating system, the browser and the like. I am not [...]

Software I couldn’t live without
In: Technology
20 Mar 2010We get so caught up these days in “open source” this and “proprietary” that. Sometimes it’s a good idea to forget the dogma and just talk about what is simply good software. I decided to do this in a top 10 list, and as you will see, it is not tied to either Windows or [...]
The Apple TV is not a hobby, the Apple TV is a victim
In: Technology
24 Feb 2010Being an owner of an AppleTV, I have a few points to make in response to Tim Cook’s comment about the Apple TV being a hobby for Apple. Apple is pretty good at making good software. Apple is also pretty good at making deals with media companies. The only problem is that Apple is really [...]
