Continue reading →: iPod touch (a.k.a. iTouch)
I bought one. I don’t consider myself an early adopter but for this purchase I was. My video iPod served me well and quite frankly it did not need to be purchased. However, when I saw the video demonstrations of the new iPod touch and it’s capabilities I was intrigued.…

On September 25 of 2007 Halo 3 was finally released and I was there to pickup my reserved copy. Yes. I went to the local Gamestop at midnight and stood in line when I should have been at home asleep. And yes, I even played some of the game that…

Over a week ago I picked up an X-Box 360 HD-DVD drive. I’ve been pleased with the quality. It’s noticeably better than standard DVD, though so far I can’t say that I’ve watch anything that is of quality nearing HD TV broadcasts. Perhaps it’s just the movies that I’ve seen…

If you’ve read previous entries then you know that I prefer Mac OS X over Windows (any version). Apple runs some very clever commercials. I’ve enjoyed most of them, though I thought the recent “Genius” commercial was a bit pretentious. I can’t claim from personal experience as to how knowledgeable…

Continue reading →: CS3 Trial Software
I decided that maybe it was finally time to invest in a copy of CS3 for home use. In the past I used free software for personal projects but lately I’ve found most packages to not be quite as good as the commercial apps. So, next month I may commit…

Continue reading →: iPhoto Organization
I’ve had a Mac for at least a couple of years now and even though iPhoto was included I hadn’t used it properly. Only on a few occasions have I imported photos directly into it. Finally, this weekend I began organizing photos that I transferred from the G4 and began…
