All your bluetooth base are belong to my q9m
I turned the lights down and fired up iTunes to play a little Gino Vanelli, trying to make sure the Bluetooth mating process between my q9m and my iMac went smoothly. The iMac found the phone, and set it up as a Smartphone. Yawn. I’m not willing to give Verizon even more money just because [...]
Great news - Newsgator is now free
I switched from FeedDemon to Google Reader a while ago because it ran on Windows, OSX, and Windows Mobile. and it was free. I always loved FeedDemon (and NetNewsWire on OSX), and paying for something on each platform that didn’t sync (at the time) with each other was not attractive.
I was very happy to see [...]
Jesus Saves t-shirts
This is just too funny…B-). Found this on “Hawk Wings”…
Normally I don’t post this kind of thing, but I couldn’t resist mentioning this t-shirt which brings my day job (Anglican priest and theology lecturer) together with my blog.
MacMerc has designed a t-shirt which combines the time-saving importance of keyboard shortcuts with other important saving [...]
Waiting for OmniPlan
This is pretty exciting. The Omni folks always create great UI, and I’m always looking for a better project mgmt app… The site says the beta pops on 7/26, so we’ll see…
Brand New Secret Product no longer a secret
Project management has been called the ability to create the impossible, with the unwilling, against insurmountable [...]

Performing Unnatural Acts with a .Mac account
I wanted to get even with my Powerbook this weekend. The battery died, and I left the AC adapter at work. It’s all the computer’s fault. To get even, I tried something that I figured would bring Apple’s servers to their knees (or at least begin coughing up hairballs) – I published a page to [...]
OSX Gets an Uninstaller
I’ve been surprised that there hasn’t been more uproar about the lack of a good uninstaller in OSX. My Windows brethren claim that’s because there’s not enough good software to fill enough of a disk to warrant an uninstaller. Since my music collection is now taking up more than 60GB on my Powerbook, I have [...]
Leap-A/Oompa-Loompa/Latespics.gz - the real truth
I think I’ve discovered what the Leap-A virus/worm was designed to do. As best as I can tell, its ultimate goal is to post reported sightings of itself to every single Mac-related website known. There’s been more content generated by the reporting of the virus/worm that by the actual virus/worm itself… Come [...]
Tool o’ the day - Zengobi Curio
I just found a really interesting Macapp – Zengobi’s Curio 3.0 that may quickly replace the spot in my Dock currently occupied by Notebook. I like how things are arranged by project, and you can add pretty much anything to a project. Curio even has built-in support for creating simple sketches – perfect for those of [...]
More on the Mac - iWeb followup
I wrapped up the work on my personal “CruiseBlog” this morning – here’s the results.
iWeb is definately a V1.0 product. The basic editing and publishing tasks are well-done, and there’s still a LOT of work that needs to be done on this application. For instance, there’s no support for lists in the editor. Using a [...]
