While at my last job, I found myself listening to internet radio an awful lot. This typically came in the form of Pandora and Last.fm. In an effort to keep from closing the window by accident, I started making a dedicated browser window and minimizing it to the dock (I didn’t know about [...]
You have to give Mozilla’s design team credit for trying to make the new default theme for Mac Firefox look “native,” but to anyone barely familiar with Apple’s UI design, it is a horrible facsimile. The big back button cluster was laughable during beta, and it’s even more ridiculous in the full feature release. [...]
In an ideal world, Safari would be the dominant browser. There, I said it. It doesn’t have to be the only option, as Firefox certainly has a lot to offer, but recent releases have made it unquestionably the most progressive browser on the market. It is blazing fast, supports a good chunk [...]
I think I’ve always been an “all or none” kind of guy, and my relationship with technology is no exception.

I couldn’t make this up if I wanted to. Shortly after firing off my sniveling email where I begged for a ticket like a groveling fanboy, this showed up in my inbox:
I stared at it for a couple seconds, trying to decide whether I was hallucinating, or if this was some cruel joke being [...]
Long story short (which gets explained in the email below), I was offered an opportunity to go to WWDC by my work, but now the site is saying that it is sold out (for the first time ever!).
This is my last hope that either someone from Apple will see this blog, or someone [...]
A quick perusal of TUAW today yielded an article about how Apple might be working on an iPhone app that would be able to play shared media from your other computers. I found it particularly funny because I had been pondering a similar feature late last night and was even going to post about [...]
