So, I’m giving Flock a shot. It’s a specialized build of Firefox, geared for social networking sites, and has some pretty interesting features. Right now, I have my Facebook and Twitter accounts set up, as well as a couple of blogs I run with WordPress, and my Flickr account. All show up in the sidebar, [...]

Running a website is sometimes exhausting. Managing passwords, updates, uploads, downloads, and all sorts of other loads can be tricky if you don’t have all your ducks in a row (where did that cliche’ come from, anyway?). If you’re like me, you’ve got usernames and passwords scattered throughout your email, desktop, and stacks of papers [...]

I’m very much a DIY (do it yourself) kind of guy. I built my site line by line with code rather than with a WYSIWYG (what you see if what you get) web design program. However, there are times when I just want to technology to take over and do things for me. I’ve had [...]

If you’re like me, half the time you’re on your Mac, you have one hand on the keyboard, and one on the mouse. When I realize that I need to flip to another Space (using Leopard), I’d rather be able to just mouse to something to move. Now, thanks to the brilliant Kent Sutherland, you [...]

AnyClient is a super-handy tool if your clients need to FTP files to you, but they don’t have an FTP program, or if you only need to FTP files occasionally. It’s Java-based, so it will work on Macs, PCs, and even some Java-enabled phones. The tool is certainly slower than a dedicated FTP client like [...]

Disclaimer: I haven’t used iWeb Buddy, just saw a review of it this morning, and it looks like a must-buy for anyone that uses iWeb. While iWeb is a great way to design sites simply and quickly, there are a lot of limitations – managing multiple sites, managing RSS feeds, etc. If you’re needing a [...]

The guys at macheist are at it again. This time, you can get some stellar apps including pixelmator (awesome image editing program, think photoshop lite), CSSEdit (CSS code real-time editor), and Snapz Pro X (screen casting, and screen capture program). Click Me

Let’s see, here are a few of my use-’em-all-the-time features: Spaces. Without a doubt, the most used new feature for me. I have six spaces set up: one for generic browsing; one for communication – email, iChat, Twitterific; one for coding – Textmate, Terminal, Transmit; one for iCal; and two spares that I can launch [...]

My upgrade story starts with pre-ordering Leopard for the office two weeks ago. An unnamed massive online store promised delivery some time between Monday and Thursday. As of noon on Thursday, no box, so I picked up a copy at the local computer box store. Time since release: 6 days.

My upgrade story involves a princess, some bicyclists (ok, a lot), and a leopard.For some odd reason, my local Mac store was closed during the week for renovations and thus I couldn’t buy my copy of leopard there. I’m still dumbfounded that they’d close a Mac store (here in Seattle) during the week of a [...]
