Leopard Sneak Peak
I finally got around to looking at Apple’s Mac OS X Leopard site. The videos are interesting.

My Mac is Brilliant
I was reading Presentation Zen, when I happened upon this James Blount/Apple homage:

Data entry on Address Book
When I’m typing a lot into Mac OS X address book, sometimes the focus flips from the field I’m in directly into the Note field. It’s very annoying.
Anyone else have that happen?
Photoshop CS3 Beta
Sent this to some of my friends two weeks ago…
I don’t know if I remembered to mention this but Adobe CS3 is in public beta. It requires your Adobe CS2 authentication to use past two days.

Three new holiday Get A Mac Ads.
C++ GUI Programming = classic. And to think, until this, I didn’t know what Emo was.
Not having cable does that to you. I guess not much has changed since my D&D days. I’m still as out of touch as ever. 🙂

When I migrated from my Powerbook to a Core 2 Duo Mac Book Pro and Firefox to Firefox 2, flash stopped working for me in Firefox 2.
The solution is rather simple: Quit Firefox and delete ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/pluginsreg.dat and then restart.
