As my friend Simeon would say. So I download the new Adobe Acrobat Reader 6. I run the installer, and it asks where to save it, so I say Applications. Then I realize it is downloading the installer (I never pay attention, I am a Mac user!) So I cancel it and it asks what… Continue reading What a pile!
The whole iTunes 4.0.1 issue..
Some people are complaining that Apple took away internet streaming and thus something they “paid” for in iTunes 4. Because they downloaded AAC files they paid for the feature and thus Apple duped them. Ya know I am kinda sick of everyone having their own voice. Ok, I’m not, it is just annoying at times… Continue reading The whole iTunes 4.0.1 issue..
Oprah gives out iPods
Oprah Winfrey gave away 15gb iPods to today’s audience in a “things I like” show. I gotta say, that is pretty cool.

Apple iTunes Music Service Ads running
I have seen them on NBC during ER and quite abit during Sports Center on ESPN. I guess they have their demographics nailed!
Moronic Web Site of the Week
Taco Bell wins the moronic site of the week club. Not only do they use some weird plugin or show times (which won’t load in Chimera or Safari) their location finder page has no phone #s nor hours either. I mean, my God, they paid someone to make finding an open restaurant this hard? We… Continue reading Moronic Web Site of the Week

Of Wind
Heart soaring, winds of change, making decisions with others in mind. Not wanting to hurt, sometimes necessary, healthy to move on, alone to heal. Testing the waters, like a new silk shirt, time sliding over my skin, feels so soft. What is next, winds of change. Change to behavior, change to habits, change to dedication,… Continue reading Of Wind
Matterform pulls a fast one with SpamFire updates
I really like SpamFire from Matterform software, but today I and my friends got a little dialog stating that my filters were only good until a year after date of purchase? I went to their site and they have added a little link about getting your subscriptions up to date, and put something in the… Continue reading Matterform pulls a fast one with SpamFire updates
MTST Proposal (Meta Tag Source Tag)
A lot of us rip our own cds and use sources like the CDDB to get our initial meta tag info, like artist, title, album, etc. Then more data is added to the songs, such as rating. Or we might change the title to remove the artist name. That meta data is stored in the… Continue reading MTST Proposal (Meta Tag Source Tag)
Apple’s new iPods are a sounding success, but touchy on the accolades….
In July of last summer I bought my first iPod, a 10gb generation one model with the physical wheel. I loved everything about it, except I always wanted a line out for my stereo and car. When Apple announced the new iPods this week, I drooled, but I was not willing to spend the money… Continue reading Apple’s new iPods are a sounding success, but touchy on the accolades….

As iPhoto rewrites the entire file on every change, you can safely add this file to your .Mac backup list. The file can be… Continue reading iPhoto backup Tip

Calling all geek chatters
So where is your favorite place to chat with geeks (male and females) Most free services don’t experience many geek visitors, so I find it tough to communicate. DALnet is good – where else exists out there? What about Mac-centric chats?
Editing a random playlist in iTunes
I had made a smart play list that chose one hour of music at random, to make my hikes a little more interesting. This way, I don’t have to check a watch. I never could figure out how to get iTunes to choose a new set of songs though. I figured it out by accident… Continue reading Editing a random playlist in iTunes
