Nothing to do with Windows, but Seinfeld’s schtick is pleasant and Bill Gates comes off well. Of course, Vista is still crap.

WordPress 2.6
Posted in Macintosh on Jul 22nd, 2008 No Comments »
I’ve updated Davison Online’s blog software to WordPress 2.6. It’s a spiffy upgrade that includes the ability to use a WordPress iPhone/iPod Touch application for blogging.
Should you expect more frequent updates as a result? Yes. This post, for example, was written and uploaded via my iPhone. (Oh magic telephone, is there anything you can’t [...]
Macworld SF 2008
Posted in Macintosh on Jan 18th, 2008 No Comments »
A good one albeit thoroughly exhausting. I had training sessions and meetings every day, leaving only today to really get around on the Expo floor in anything approaching a casual manner. Still, I’d have to call the whole experience a wild success personally.
I’ve got a lot of business ideas to ponder and I made a [...]
Huckabee
Posted in Macintosh on Dec 8th, 2007 No Comments »
As a Baptist minister, Mike Huckabee is a perfect Republican candidate for Iowa where 4 in 10 voters are evangelical Christians. His surge into the polling lead there is remarkable–tripling his numbers since the summer–but Iowa is no bell weather state. It far more conservative than either of the coasts and although a Huckabee win [...]
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

The plan is for yours truly to give this month’s presentation on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard at next Tuesday’s Salem Mac Users Group meeting, so I was a little perturbed when day after day my copy of the new operating system refused to be delivered by FedEx.
Happily, yesterday finally saw its arrival–almost a [...]

My order of Apple’s iLife ‘08 came yesterday and although I’ve only had the opportunity thus far to play with iPhoto and GarageBand, I’m utterly smitten. iPhoto is a terrific update and GarageBand’s new Magic GarageBand feature let me make the following song in–I’m not kidding–5 minutes and 1 take.
Magic GarageBand: Play Now [...]

Bought a $20 rubberized iPhone case when I bought the phone. I’ve been pleased with it. Recommended if you’re getting an iPhone.
It’s still love

Apple announced massive ($5.41 billion in sales, $818 million revenue) quarterly numbers today, with 1.13 million portable Macs and 634,000 desktop Macs sold. They also shipped 9.8 million iPods.
Only two days of iPhone sales were included in the quarter, and Apple rather cagily says that they sold 270,000 “iPhones and Apple-branded and third-party iPhone accessories.” [...]

I purchased an iPhone this afternoon from the local AT&T store. Just because I’m the curious type I asked how sales were going. Answer: They’re mostly selling out on a daily basis and receiving new shipments of 8 to 16 phones every day or so. That bodes well.
In my own case, I wasn’t planning to [...]
MacBook Pro impressions, part 2

So it turns out I’ve been living with a very big mistake for well over a year now. (If any of you guessed Jonah, Elisha or Erin, well, then ha ha ha, NO.)
I’ve been using LinoType’s excellent Font Explorer X to manage my extensive font collection. It’s nifty in that it can auto-activate fonts for [...]
