I don’t know if they have anything else up their sleeve but I expect that the October introduction of Leopard will be the next big event. Could be as early as a month away. I am getting excited! So, is Apple going to have an introduction event like the recent iPod lineup refresh. Will it [...]

Still working on this project but so far today I tossed 1,300 emails and moved to more permanent archiving scheme about 800 messages
I noticed that a lot of what was clogging the inbox arteries were subscriptions to newsletters, online order receipts and other flotsam that should be archived but mixed in were some important items [...]

More on this soon but I started a campaign, even an all out assault, on my Inbox to get some control over it instead of it over me.
Using some of Merlin Mann’s advice from his Inbox Zero series I began the arduous task today and am happy to report that I trimmed over 3,200 emails [...]

Well I’ve seen several stories that the Office 2008 update will not be out until January at the earliest. Bummer. The Office Suite is the last set of apps that I use regularly that is still not native. Heck, even GoLive 9, possibly the last GoLive update is Universal now. 2 years from when the [...]

This is the first post from the new machine. So far so good. It is snappier for sure. Right now the configuration is very similar to the MacBook Pro it is replacing, Same 2GB of RAM and 7200RPM drives although the old Core Duo 1.83 has a 100GB drive while the new machine, a 2.2GHz [...]

I’ve had my Wireless Mighty Mouse since it came out and it has been great. The rare times the scroll wheel has not worked involved just flipping it upside down and working the wheel over my pant leg and presto, it worked again. Until today.
I hunted a bit around the Internet and found this post [...]

I am right now downloading the Photoshop CS3 Beta to the MacBook Pro. This is a HUGE 684MB file and I am 5 minutes into the 22 minutes or so the download should take although I am noticing the throughput slowing. i wonder how many copies will be downloaded today? Talk about bandwidth!
I will try [...]

I got the low battery notification from the Wireless Mighty Mouse today and since I originally got this thing about July 30th it looks like about 4 months of life out of the packaged with the mouse Energizer Lithiums. Don’t know how much longer they could have lasted but I took them out and threw [...]

Ya’der hey, and you bettcha it is.
I was supposed to have a conference call this afternoon with one of those Free Conference Call type services but it had a standard phone number, not a tool-free line, so I figured as long as Skype is still free on the Skype Out end that I’d set up [...]

Well, the trail version did its job. Kudos to Apple for finally releasing a pro tool as a trial version. After ten days or so of using and playing with the 1.5 trial version I stepped up to the plate and ordered the full version from Amazon.
So far here are some things I really like:

I [...]

I am again trying Aperture since the recent posting of the fully functional trial for Aperture version 1.5. So far so good. I imported about 10,000 photos and am working trough them much more quickly than I did when I was using iView Media Pro 3. I really like the full screen version.
After reading reviews [...]

Since I have not done any software updates since the replacement battery was installed, as of this writing, I can’t attribute the fact that, according to iStat Pro, my MacBook is running about 12 to 15 degrees cooler than with the original battery to anything other than the new battery. Same work environment and charger. [...]
