I know it’s taken me quite a while to get around to writing up my review of Apple’s Time Capsule, the combo external storage device and wireless router that looks like a slightly larger, slightly flatter version of the Mac Mini. But I wanted to have enough time really using the thing in [...]

Quite a few of my “Mac” buddies have been asking me if I use [Leopard's] Time Machine and what I think of it, how it compares to Backup (Apple’s other backup application), and how I like my new Time Capsule, which I’ve been using for about a month now (I went with the 1TB model, [...]

Well it’s been just over a month that I successfully upgraded my Laptop (17″ G4 PowerBook) to Apple’s newest version of OS X, Leopard, and IMHO the big cat does not disappoint. Hundreds, if not thousands of other Apple/Mac - centric bloggers have all posted fine reviews of Leopard, including detailed synposes and opinions [...]

Have some DVDs laying about that you’d like to convert to MPEG-4 (or other) format so you can watch them on your iPhone or iPod? Or maybe you just want to store them on your laptop to watch at your leisure while you’re traveling, instead of having to pack a stack of DVDs?
Enter HandBrake [...]

***NOTE*** - This issue has been happily resolved - please read my followup post here.
Think you’re ready to upgrade to Apple’s newest version of OS X, Leopard? You’ve read all the early adopters’ reviews, tips, and notes, removed any uncompatible applications or utilities (like APE), backed up your system, and chosen your preferred upgrade [...]

If you read my previous post about the Myvu Personal Media Viewer, you’ll know how excited I was to order them since they announced an iPhone-compatible version (the Myvu Solo Plus Edition for iPod).
Well they finally arrived yesterday, and I’ve been testing them thoroughly since then. And yes, they do work with my iPhone. [...]

Yes, the newest release of iToner by Ambrosia Software DOES work with the latest version of iPhone’s OS update, 1.1.1, and iTunes 7.4.2, and it works very well.
Anyone with an Apple iPhone knows by now that iTunes sells ringtones, and that iTunes version 7.4.2 made all the previous tricks for adding ringtones for free obsolete, [...]

Thanks to one of my favorite sites (Weblog Tools Collection) I found a truly nifty WordPress Plugin designed for iPhone- and iPod Touch-owning WordPress bloggers, although according to the plugin authors it also works for other mobile phones as well.
This cool plugin, WPhone, gives you a simplified admin interface for managing all aspects of your [...]

Back in August I posted a review of iSkin’s revoCase for the iPhone, which I love. There are times, however, when I really need a belt clip for my iPhone, but the clips available (until now) would not fit over my iSkin Revo case, which wasn’t acceptable (I’ve had problems with clips for previous [...]

While recently reading one of my favorite SEO e-Newsletters, HighRankings Advisor, my brain got stuck on a letter asking the newsletter editor (Jill Whalen - one of the foremost authorities on SEO) a question about Microsoft’s FrontPage HTML Editor, stating that they’d been told by an SEO firm that “the problem was that their site [...]

This wonderful computer alarm clock works SO well that I never use my old bedside alarm clock anymore - it’s been so long that I can’t even remember the last time that I did….
Embraceware has created a sophisticated, yet resource-light alarm clock program that has all the wonderful features and flexibility of software that is [...]

Although I was one of those in line on June 29th to get an iPhone, I held out until late July to get a case for it. Not because I was lazy or didn’t care about protecting my iPhone, but because I really, really, wanted an iSkin Revo.
I did a lot [...]

($10 shareware with free trial) I absolutely love this reminder program! It doesn’t replace iCal for me - I still use iCal for a wide variety of events, appointments, and dates for which I need a reminder, but 2Remember fills the gap left for those myriad of non-recurring, small tasks for which I [...]

In the past week four different people asked me if I *still* like my iPhone after using it for a month, so I decided it was time to post my 30-day update. Also coming up this week - reviews of several Mac utilities so stay tuned!
On to my iPhone Review - and the short [...]

I absolutely LOVE this application - despite the fact that it only runs on Windows (c’mon guys, make a Mac version soon, pretty please?)…..VisitorVille. is fun, enlightening, and highly addictive. With its “Sims”-like interface and comprehensive reports, keeping track of your web site stats has never been this much fun. Add in that [...]

I’ve tried a number of different Application Launchers for Mac, and my favorite by a huge margin is Drag Thing ($29 shareware with free trial and free updates), an amazingly customizable and easy to use application launcher extraordinare.
Using Drag Thing is a breeze - you simply create Docks, which consist of Tabbed Layers, and upon [...]

I decided to add the words “Part 1″ to my Apple iPhone review because, well since I just got it yesterday, I’m still in the first blush of infatuation and getting to know it. I imagine that after I’ve had it for a month or so, I may have additional opinions and ideas, so [...]

Anyone familiar with GTD software (”Getting Things Done” for those who are not) will appreciate the simple elegance of Ghost Action, a Mac-only application that keeps all your “to do’s” neatly organized by Contexts (such as personal or work related items), Projects (within those Contexts) and Tasks (within each Project).
Well worth its $19.95 price [...]

I’ve often been asked about my choice of web site host company, which currently is 1&1 by people who are either looking to set up a new site or looking to change to a new web site hosting company, so it seems like the right time to write a review that might just help others.
I’ve [...]

In general I’m not an “early adopter” of anything (okay, the iPhone is an exception - I know my lust for one will win out), but usually I wait a while before upgrading, updating, or downloading new versions of anything. I do use the Software Update feature on my Macs to keep my [...]
