iPhone in June

Electronista is claiming that there’ll be a Canadian iPhone in June with an all-you-can-eat data plan for $7. With RIM about to introduce a BlackBerry 9000 phone, users are going to have a decent set of options to choose from for hardware. Unfortunately, the BlackBerry plans aren’t exactly competitive compared with the iPhone’s supposed $7 [...]

iPod touch wishlist

Now that I’ve had an iPod touch for a little over a week and gotten used to it and what it’s capable of, I have a few ideas about what I wish it could do. These are maybe obvious omissions to its capabilities which would really beef it up as a portable entertainment device. iTunes [...]

iPod touch 32GB

While in Toronto this weekend, we stopped into the Apple store to play with the new 32GB iPod touch. My feelings about the first edition was, they’re cool, but 16GB isn’t quite enough. Also, they lacked the web-browser, email and calendaring capabilities of the phone so I was, like, fuck that. What a difference a [...]

Ecto 3 Hello World Post

I’ve been following Adriaan Tijse… Adrian Tissel… Ado’s Twitterstream for awhile eagerly looking forward to the latest version of Ecto, my favorite desktop blogging software. Version two’s been relatively unchanged for a couple of years now with an update last year to provide Intel support and some new toolbar icons at some point before that. [...]

Logitech Control Center

In the past, I have talked no small amount of shit about Logitech‘s driver situation on the Mac. I don’t think it was unreasonable though, and I didn’t feel the least bit bad about dumping my Logitech MX Revolution for an Apple Mighty Mouse. I did, however, miss all the buttons. A word about writing [...]

Updated Music Library Listing

I updated my online music library today. It’s been overlong. The current stats are 8436 songs, 27.3 days, 56.3 GB. That’s for a Smart Playlist gathering all checked tracks and excluding videos and podcasts. If including the full library, I’d have 12863 items, 41:12:51:32 total time and 82.34GB. This week I had to deselect a [...]

People! Settle down now! It’s no big deal…

Not since the release of the iPhone has so much noise been made about Apple. I am talking about Leopard, of course. It’s out now and you can get it from just about anywhere. Over 2 years ago, I wrote a great big review of Tiger. I’m not gonna do that for this release. Why [...]
