My computer has a GPS in it using the same SIRFstar III chipset as my hiking handheld, which also doubles as my cycling GPS.
On the Mac, it appears as a “USB-serial” device whose driver is made by Prolific Technology which, coincidentally, makes the driver for my camera GPS receiver. Like all SIRFstar III GPSs, getting [...]
My Uncle is soon to be without his laptop and desktop. An in our family, this means a Macintosh…with Skype installed. And this means, bouncing ideas off the family Mac geek: me.
Here were his ideas:
Idea 1:
Get 1 desktop and 1 laptop. For desktop, I am thinking of iMac rather than a Power Mac (which may [...]
I blame Merlin Mann of 43 folders. He’s the one who popularized Moleskines years ago.
How else can I explain that right after I wrote about my analog blog that Brian Moon pointed me to the very next xkcd about that. Which caused my friends to point out the sequel article:
Journal 2 by xkcd
Which gave me [...]
A conversation that never happened over iChat:
1: Hey, do you have a copy of the new iLife and iWork?
2: Yeah. How can I get it to you.
1: Let me get back to you…
1: Hey, my my iDisk has 10GB on it now, just put it there.
At work today Mark Kater and Sarah were joking that I’ve been as sick as long as I’ve had my iPhone. I guess my iPhone has bad Feng Shui.
Then Mark mentioned that the song in the iPhone television commercials, gives him the classically Apple 38 seconds of “all is good in the world” before he [...]

(No, I haven’t tried Safari 3.0.)
At work yesterday we were talking about how slow Firefox has become. You’re chugging around, opening a few tabs and then, after a few hours, you notice that everything takes like a second to respond. Has anyone else noticed this? It’s also been crashier of late—to the point where I’m [...]
I noticed in the release notes of the Mac OS X 10.4.10 update today:
Adds RAW image decoding support for the following cameras: Panasonic DMC-LX1, Panasonic DMC-LX2, Leica M8, Leica D-LUX 2, Leica D-LUX 3, Fuji S5 Pro, Nikon D40x, and Canon EOS 1D Mk III.
Since Apple Aperture uses the same RAW decoding. That means that [...]
A friend of a friend hooked me up with a WWDC pass. Shhh… The real reason I went there was to meet a friend, but he had to miss out that day because of bugs and a release. (I won’t name names, but you suck!)
Unfortunately, I was too tired from driving back from Lunch 2.0 [...]
I was catching up on some of my newsreading when I ran across this article, with the quote:
Image from Macenstein and model from Suicide Girls. (horny php guy desktopper)
I thought I’d make it into this desktop image as a shout-out to all you (male) PHP devs out there. (There was an old PHP image I [...]
