For the past 6 months I’ve had this interesting mac issue - once or twice a month my internal drive which generally has about 90GB free on it would drop to 25GB free or less, I originally thought perhaps the drive was dying because rebooting off a system dvd and repairing the drive generally fixed […]

I’m forever fiddling with online ‘organizers’ one of the nicest IMHO is Backpack by those 37 signals guys, it’s clean and straightforward - and while I doubt I’ll ever actually use it for my day-to-day masterlist, it’s an excellent place to jot down some quick notes - till I can transcribe them into the ‘uber’ […]

I was looking for a way to drop bookmarks to email threads in Mail.app‡ when I stumbled upon Hallon a VERY cool open-source project by Peter Borg (of Smultron fame), it’s exactly what I was looking for and SO MUCH MORE.
Peter does a much better job describing it than me.

So I’ve had my iPhone for about 48 hours - I’m a bit torn about it, it’s a great ipod, it’s a tremendous mobile browser, it’s a darn nice 2 MegaPixel camera - but honestly it’s just an okay phone - 70% of my issues revolve around the form factor - it’s thin, slippery and […]

In quest of minimizing our somewhat cluttered lives we did the unspeakable today - we cleaned out the attic. Hard work without a doubt, but the truly intresting part was the Mac boxes, years and years of Mac boxes and various peripherals.

Sonnet 7100 upgrade daughter card
G3 (beige pizza box)
22 inch Cinema Display
