Do It And It’s Done

Sometimes people can get too caught up in a GTD mindframe. Each and every task which comes in they will write down on their to-do list, and take the appropriate steps to complete it. However some tasks can be done right away, avoiding stress at a later stage.
For me, if something actionable will take less [...]

What Do You Value? Style vs Price

I’ve had a few discussions recently with some close friends on the topic of the Apple Cinema Display vs Dell Displays.
Before I get started, I want to make a statement that I totally agree with the fact that the Dell is a better display in the terms of ports, minor specs, and the ability to [...]

First Looks: Twitterrific 2.0

Thanks to Gedeon Maheux, the Principal / Designer from the Iconfactory – I have my hands on the latest beta version of Twitterrific, version 2.0.
The new features on the latest version are plentiful, though instead of listing the 25+ changes to the application, I’m going show off a few new UI changes in the way [...]

Desktop Friday: The Eighteenth

Each and every Friday I post a desktop wallpaper which I have taken personally on travels and outings with my Canon 350D. The wallpaper is sized at a resoultion of 2560×1600 pixels, big enough to be used on a 30 inch Apple Cinema Display, so no-one will miss out.
This weeks wallpaper was taken a few [...]

Review: Logitech MX Revolution Mouse

It’s only when you’re handed a mouse as great as the Logitech MX Revolution that you realize what you’ve been missing. I’ve been so accustomed to Apple’s one button wireless mouse for so long that I had no idea what a different mouse could do in helping me in my daily workflow.
The Logitech MX Revolution [...]

Twitterholic: How High Are You Ranked?

Twitter is one of the latest and most popular Web services for the masses. The basic object of Twitter is to let people know what you are doing, in order to eliminate the dreaded message saying “What’s up” over IM.
This morning I stumbled across a website via Technorati called Twitterholic. Twitterholic basically scans the Twitter [...]

Where To Find News And Topics To Blog About

Blog reader Jeremy recently wrote to me with a couple of blogging questions. One of them was asking how can someone find a lot of news and info right when it’s been announced to blog about. I decided a blog post would suffice as an acceptable response to help him out (and hopefully a few [...]

I’m Tired Of My Network Connection Dropping

Throughout the last week I’ve had problems with my network connection. I currently connect via an ADSL modem connected up to a Belkin wireless router which sends signals around the house to my Mac. It was relitavely reliable up until recently, where it’s started to fade and had problems connecting.

After becoming sick and tired of my Airport connection dropping in an out dozens of times on a daily basis, I bought an Apple Airport Extreme (yes, one of the slick new ones).

Saving My Pennies For WWDC

I’ve been holding off buying a new Mac for months and months now – and I’ve finally decided to..wait until WWDC (thats World Wide Developer Conference) in June this year before I purchase a new machine.

I’m sick and tired of waiting for an update to the iMac before I buy, but after waiting so long to purchase it, another few months of anxious waiting shouldn’t hurt. Though what exactly am I waiting on a new machine for if I feel I need to buy it now? I want Leopard and iLife (07) to be bundled on the machine – along with a few upgrades to the hardware side of the machine such as RAM capacity which I want increasing to 4GB, and a slight processor upgrade raising it to the 2.4Ghz mark.

Review: Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard

As much as I love my Apple Wireless Keyboard, the moment I unpacked the Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard I had a new found love with one of the best designed products I’ve ever held in my hands. The Logitech diNovo Edge is the keyboard from the future, its features are polished so well, it’ll have you wondering how they packed so many functions into such a slimly finished keyboard.

Changes You’ll Be Seeing Around Here Soon

Over the past few weeks I’ve become more decisive with my decision making, especially in terms of the direction this blog will continue heading in. I’ll continue to provide great product reviews, spotlights on new Mac applications, tutorials, personal opinion articles and more. I also have a few extra things I’ll be adding to make the blog a little more enjoyable both personally for myself, and for you.

Desktop Friday: The Sixteenth

Each and every Friday I post a desktop wallpaper for all of you readers to have a change of scene, and get a different perspective of life through your LCD monitor. The image is 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 of 2560×1600 pixels, big enough to be used on a 30 inch Apple Cinema Display, so no-one will miss out.

Flow: FTP And Editing In Harmony

While browsing a few forums this morning, I stumbled across a link to FlowApp.com. Flow is a new FTP application in the works for the Mac.
Flow is a little different than other FTP applications available on OSX. One prominent feature which is taking the spotlight is the ability to edit files directly on the FTP [...]

The 9:45 PM Evening Rule

Recently I have far too often been browsing blogs, responding to email, and chatting to collueages over Skype in the late hours of the night.Let me tell you this is not a good routine for someone who is waking up at 6AM every weekday morning. It doesn’t put me in the best position to be focused on studying the next morning.

Reader Feedback: Personal Blogging

As of recent I’ve had to keep away from my WordPress install, due to the fact that I’ve increasingly been wanting to write more personal opinion posts about topics currently (and currently not) in the news. This inspiration to get more personal has mainly been pushed into my head from one blogger, Khoi Vinh of [...]
