“Build a bundle” of Mac software
Seth’s gone live with his “build a bundle” extension to his charity Mac software auctions.
Pick what you need, make an offer…all the money goes to fight cancer. Everyone wins!
Agile Tortoise Widget
Ok, really just an excuse to play with Dashcode, but, yes, ladies and gentlemen, I now have a custom Dashboard Widget for this blog. Please download if you’re of the OS X persuasion.
21 screws
That’s how many little, tiny screws it takes to replace the hard drive of a MacBook Pro. Not for the faint hearted. Took me about 20-25 minutes start to finish.
Seth’s Mac software auctions begin!
I’m very proud to have a friend like Seth Dillingham. He’s really pouring a tremendous amount of effort into raising funds for charity. Today marks the beginning of a series of auctions of donated Mac software he’s organized. Proceed from all the auctions will directly benefit cancer research.
Cancer research rocks, too! [...]
.Mac upgrade and your disk space
The new DotMac upgrades are great. 10 gig of storage is awesome, but watch out.
I noticed I was running really low on disk space on my MacBook Pro the other day, much lower than I realized. After digging around to free up space, I found that since the .Mac update, the sync’d local [...]
iPhone, hands on
I got hands on with an iPhone for awhile at a 4th of July party yesterday. Very impressive. The UI is downright cool. Little things like the magnifying glass over text when you’re making selections, etc. are great. EDGE was very slow where I was at…probably still fine for email, but [...]
iPhone lines
We drove by the local AT&T on the way out to dinner last night. There were already 5 or 6 avid campers lined up on the sidewalk. Ah, to be young. Did that for concert tickets a few times, I guess. Once for a huge sale at a music store. [...]
Macbook back
I took my MacBook Pro into the shop this week. One of the fans was making a weird noise, and the trackpad button had been sticky for sometime. I feared taking it in, because I thought it would end up shipped off to Apple and I’d be without it for weeks. Not [...]
Steve Job show
My favorite show’s on today. Whohoo!
eBay: G5 off the market
Sold the G5 prior to the end of the auction. Had a local guy get in touch needing it fast, since his G4 tanked on him the day before. We agreed on a price and he drove by and picked it up. Easy as can be, and I think I got a [...]
eBay: G5
My G5 PowerMac is on eBay this week. Bid away!
It’s a good machine, but I just don’t have a use for it since I got the MacBook Pro.
Spending money
I spent some money this week. UPS is in the process of delivering a new MacBook Pro (15″) for Kt and a new iPod for me. I love my MacBook, and Kt was hurting for a new machine. She pretty much only uses my old original 400 MHz TiBook, and it’s just [...]
MacBook impressions
The MacBook arrived today. It’s very nice, and very fast. I also went through the Bootcamp setup process, and got a large portion of my Windows environment setup and installed quite a bit of software — no problems. It’s still going to be inconvenient to reboot to swap environments, but you do [...]
Developing with Core Data
Developing with Core Data. Looks nice. This is the first I’ve heard of this, but I must admit I haven’t been following OS X development news much.
Apple Rumors
I think Dave may be right that it was a bad move for Apple to sue the rumors sites. From a purely PR point of view. I think they are, however, in the right. I don’t see any reason why any journalistic privilege should be extended in this case. I also [...]
