Reader Christian Kuttruff sent me an email a few days back after my post, How Does Your Mac Look?
He wanted to know how my file system was organized on my Mac because he was looking for the perfect way to sort his.
My file system is perfectly organized, I know where everything is, and can bring [...]

6:00am – Wake up to the alarm on my phone.
6:05am – Hit the enter button on the iMac, Mail and NewsFire automatically kick into action.
6:06am – Open up my Mail, review new comments and trackbacks on my blog, and read other important emails. I generally have around a dozen new emails each morning, so it’s [...]

Rarely do I come across a piece of software which wow’s me as much as Soulver has. Why has Soulver astounded me? Because of it’s innovation and the way it uses a technology as a feature in a way no other application has before.
Soulver is a new kind of calculator application which allows you to [...]

Personally I’m running my digital life off two machines, an Intel iMac and MacBook. The iMac is the 17″ Core Duo model, with the base 160GB HDD, and RAM upgraded to 1.5GB. The MacBook is the bare bones Core Duo model (in white), with no upgraded RAM.
At the moment I’m pretty happy with my setup, [...]

This following tip is so simple and obvious, yet no one that I have talked to ever puts it into action.
I’m the type that has to check his email every time I hear it beep, I cannot leave it there sitting unread. It has to be read the second I receive it, otherwise it bugs [...]

Many bloggers write a long post on why they are blogging, but I thought I’d do it a little differently and post in the ever so popular list format. Here’s 5 reasons why I blog.

1. It’s Fun

Blogging is simply fun. I enjoy writing, I enjoy receiving feedback, and I enjoy seeing my work on the [...]

Each and every Friday I’m going to be posting a desktop wallpaper for all the Mac users out there that I have taken using my Canon 350D DSLR. Photography really interests me and this gives me a nice way to showcase some work, while giving readers something for nothing.
The wallpaper is sized at a resoultion [...]

I am so attentive to how my Mac is organized. Everything has a place, and everything must be in place. I can find a file in seconds (yes, even without Spotlight), and there is not one thing out of place, it’s all perfectly in order and sorted. In other words, I have a little OCD [...]

As most of you, I have a list of blogs I absoutely love to read, and get excited everytime I see an unread item in one of their feeds in NewsFire.

It has been exactly 4 months since I began this great hobby called blogging. The first entry was posted on July 22nd 06, and today the 22nd of November marks 100 posts.

We all know the feeling. We wake up, jump on the computer and open Mail, where we see 43 new emails, many needing action to be made. Then we open our favorite RSS reader (in my case NewsFire), and have over 400 unread items waiting for our attention, even when we have sorted through all [...]
