MacUpdate is offering a bundle of all these apps for $64.95. One little catch, that shouldn’t be a big deal is this. The last three apps are locked until target numbers of bundles are sold. Once a target is reached, a locked app will be available to you. The last two bundles sold reached [...]
Last night I picked up an Airport Extreme! I’m pretty excited. Set up was relatively easy. Below are some random observations so far because I love unordered lists.
No more web based configuring like with my old Netgear, instead you use Airport Utility.
In Airport Utility, “SSID” is listed as “Network Name.” And is it just me [...]

I have a point and shoot that I love, the Fujifilm F11. It’s a great camera, especially under lowlight. I bought it off ebay a few years ago from a Japanese seller. The F11 wasn’t being sold in the US, just the F10. Anyways. I think I need a replacement. Even though I hate Canon [...]

I just got back from Hawaii, and it has inspired me to want a new set of stuff.
A waterproof camera like the Olympus 1030 SW. Well not just waterproof, it is shockproof, pressure proof, and freeze proof. It also has 28mm (35mm equivalent) lens.
A portable computer like the eee pc 701 4g or 900, so [...]
A few years ago Sonic Impact came out with a $30 amplifier that shook up the hi-fi market. It was compared favorably against amplifiers that cost thousands of dollars. It became so popular, Sonic Impact came out with another version, the Super T-Amp, using better components which is the one I bought. The heart [...]
I’m looking for something that organizes ideas and thoughts for the Mac. These are the choices I have so far:
Journler - I used this for a while when it was free. The developer is going to start charging with v2.6. It’s mainly for organizing written thoughts though you can integrate music, pictures, weblinks, etc.
Yojimbo - [...]
I don’t care which. I want a really fast lens. These are Nikon’s fastest lenses. Canon and Leica make faster at F1.0. Unfortunately, Nikon’s bayonet mount limits the fastest speed to f1.2 which is still ok way with me. Choices:
55mm F1.2 in AI and non-AI can be found relatively cheap.
50mm F1.2 in AI [...]
My trusty old white Netgear wireless-G has served me well for a few years now. It hasn’t caused me too many problems, well nothing a simple unplug/replug couldn’t fix. But I think it is time it should be replaced with the new old Airport Extreme.
A couple of days ago Apple offered a software update [...]
Bent plywood chairs are cool, the Eames Low Chair Wood (LCW) especially. Not sure what it is about Mid-Century modern stuff that I love so much. Charles Eames’ philosphy, when designing this chair, was to make something affordable and accessible to everyone (like Ikea?).
Some standout points:
It’s low.
It’s a chair.
It’s made from bent plywood. Originally, [...]
Installation
Very easy. Just plug all the cables in. Drop the drive in. It just works, on a Mac that is. I didn’t really look at the instructions.
Observations
3.5″ drives slide in easily. It doesn’t feel like it’s going to go off track and not hook up right.
Ejecting 3.5″ drives require a little more than just pressing [...]
