The WiebeTech TrayDock looks like a really, really neat external firewire solution. Has anyone used one of these? The initial entry fee is $170, but then it is a mere $50 per drive after that. You can reuse that 80GB drive laying around for $50. Let it store those FCP projects you were deleting for… Continue reading WiebeTech TrayDock

Switching to a Mac ain’t ever going back.

Loving oneself
Today is Valentine’s Week and I have been focusing on something that I have been working for many years – Instead of trying to find love in the world, looking inward and finding love for yourself. I think the more we love ourselves, meaning respect ourselves, make healthy decisions, pay those debts off – Both… Continue reading Loving oneself

Avoid allmediaoutlet.com
I have had a horrible experience with allmediaoutlet.com. I ordered some ritek DVD-Rs and there was no notice they were on backordered. I emailed after 5 days and no response. The site says “processing.” I called 2 days later, a full week after placing the order and got told I’d need to talk to the… Continue reading Avoid allmediaoutlet.com

No more hunt and peck for me
After years of trying to learn to touch type to only go back to hunt and peck subconsciously, I bought a truform. The keys are a little spongy, it crowds the mouse on my tray, but it serves the purpose I got it for, no more hand over hand hunt and pecking. My typing is… Continue reading No more hunt and peck for me

Episode #001 2005-01-20
I’m new to the podcasting scene. It seems people are broadcasting audio bits about whatever they are interested in, then including links to the mp3s in the RSS feeds. Aggregators, like iPodder, can then download the files and sync them into your iTunes, and thus iPod, for you to listen to! So I decided to… Continue reading Episode #001 2005-01-20
