I am officially hooked on Zwok! I found it on delicious this evening and have wasted my whole night playing the game. Oh well, it’s fun! [ READ MORE ]
Apple just announced that in their next major OS release you will be able to run Windows natively. That’s kind of cool, but the reason I have a Mac is for the operating system, not really the hardware, so I don’t imagine I’ll be doing too much Windows on my Intel Mac (when I get [ READ MORE ]
Rachel and I went to Portland today and stopped by the Apple Store. I really wanted iLife ‘06 so I got it today. I don’t quite know why I wanted it… just had to have it. I got it installed and have played around with it a little so far. I might try and make [ READ MORE ]
I saw today that Windows Media Components for QuickTime by Flip4Mac is now being released for free by Microsoft. I have only tried it out a little, but it works as advertised. I would recommend that anyone with a Mac download and install this program. It works better than Windows Media Player to play browser [ READ MORE ]
The annual Steve Jobs keynote address at Macworld took place today. I tried watching the recorded webcast, but I couldn’t get a good connection, maybe later. The new hardware they announced, MacBook Pro and a new iMac, isn’t all that exciting to me. I actually have the previous versions of both machines and am quite [ READ MORE ]

Under ‘Keyboard & Mouse’ check the ‘Clicking’ [ READ MORE ]
First of all, Firefox RC1 was released today. Among other features, it has the ability to reorder tabs – so cool. Second, I think just yesterday, del.icio.us introduced a new feature that allows people to create bookmarks ‘for’ other members. This means that if I found a webpage about unicorns that I know my brother-in-law Adam [ READ MORE ]
I just read today about Stanford on iTunes. This could be huge. I think it is great that Stanford has made some of their content available (for free) and even better that iTunes is providing the means of distribution. Sharing is great. [ READ MORE ]
I have recently started using del.icio.us on a regular basis and have come across a few really cool things on the web. Today I found an AJAX/PHP powered webmail application called RoundCube. I have installed it at http://webmail.gunnerweb.net/. Anyone that wants to use it is more than welcome to. All you need is your account [ READ MORE ]
