10:52:2011 – Raining Again

What to do on another crappy day while waiting for Mother Nature to cooperate and turn the sunshine back on? How about support a great cause? Bernie’s Daytona Party to raise money for Balding for Dollars. A man we met via the motorcycle community puts on a party every year to raise funds for kids with cancer. Not for research,…

Day 71 – Technology

71/365 (March 12, 2011) – Yes, I’ll say it again, I love my Mac. And I love the simple elegance of everything they produce. Simple, straight-forward, intuitive, logical, generally problem-free, and oh so functional. This makes me think of Star Wars for some reason……

Day 37 – Universal Power

37/365 (February 6, 2011) – I bought this set of adapters for the Macbook back in 2009 just before going to Europe. We wanted to make sure that we had juice wherever we went. The Mac charger is an elegant system. The trouble was, I left it on the desk at home.

Day 3 – My Favourite Logo

3/365 (January 3, 2010) – I am pretty sure I’m like a reformed smoker (although I’ve never smoked).

Day 291 – 291 down, 74 to go

291/365 (October 18, 2010) – Where exactly did this year go to? I thought a 365 was going to be difficult, and it hasn’t always been easy, but it wasn’t nearly as onerous a task as I thought it might be. The one negative thing I’ve found is that I have wanted to focus on some film photography and I…

Day 270 – Wall-E Phone Home

270/365 (September 27, 2010) – I have a new toy, not Wall-E, he’s not new. I picked up a Snowflake microphone on sale at Future Shop that has all kinds of possibilities. All new MacBooks and all iMac computers have iSight cameras and microphones built into them, but the 30″ Cinema display on the MacPro doesn’t (well, the really newly…

Have I Mentioned….Oh Yes, Probably a Million Times

Yes, I know…we all know how much I love my Mac. I just realized that it has now been two years since I bought the MacPro desktop, and in January it will be two years that I’ve had my 13″ MacBook first generation unibody. And I haven’t looked back once with any regrets. The ONLY thing I need to pull…

Apple topples Microsoft’s throne

Darn, Kirk was right, we should have bought stock when it was only $80. I should have believed in the stock the same way I believe in the product. Reprinted from CNNMoney.com Microsoft’s dominance as the tech industry’s most valuable player has ended. On Wednesday, Apple’s market capitalization edged past its longtime rival’s as investors made official what consumers have…

Day 109 – Lost

109/365 (April 19, 2010) – I’m frustrated right now. I bought a new GPS specifically to use with my Mac…and guess what, despite all assurances that it would, on arrival, work…it did not. It happily connects to my old PC via Bluetooth, and my other Bluetooth GPS happily connects to my Mac, but each will not pair with the other.…

Day 90 – On Closer Inspection

90/365 (March 31, 2010) – I used to love my big tactile keyboards by Logitech. So I bought a Mac version when I got my MacPro. But when I got the MacBook I actually got used to the keyboard on it and suddenly the Logitech one felt clunky. Even though the Mac keyboard is wired (they do make a wireless…
