My calendar sync solution for Mac & iCal

Calendar syncing is an issue for anyone who works on a team, has multiple computers, or even just has a computer and a phone. It seems like it should be easy to keep appointments and events in sync among all of your devices, but so far there hasn’t been one solid solution to rise to [...]

Dock rock!

When I first started to jump into the world of standards-based web design one of the guys I followed online was The Man in Blue (Cameron Adams). Aside from being a Javascript ninja, apparently he’s also a music video master… geek style. Here is a recent post of his with a link to the geek-chic [...]

dropbox iphone bring back simple view

I like to see how people end up here at my website. Most of the time the search terms people use to get here are pretty normal. However, sometimes they are kind of obscure. Today I saw a search term that landed someone on this post that was descriptive enough for me to guess the [...]

I’ve been paying attention to my Activity Monitor on my Macbook Pro recently. This is mainly because [...]

My favorite Twitter clients for Mac

It seems today that Twitter has hit the mainstream. This means that there will be a lot more businesses using Twitter as a means to pimp themselves and there will be many more annoying people using Twitter to post every meal they eat and every thought they think. However, this also means that the Twitter [...]

Exporting your stuff from Evernote

I really like Evernote. I suggest it to a lot of people, especially anyone who owns an iPhone. Evernote makes it so easy to take a picture, write a note, or record some audio on your iPhone and retreive it later on your Mac, PC, or even online. This has so many potential uses from [...]
