Wireless Security problem I didn’t know about
I use a wireless router for my laptop connection. On my iBook, I have an Airport card. My son, Morgan, has an Airport Extreme card for his connection, while Ash connects with a cable to the router. I learned a couple of things the other day while listening to [...]

I admit it. Actually, it would be hard to hide it. I also promised Ash I would post about it. My online crack of choice is Neverwinter Nights. This game is actually pretty retro. A new version is supposed to be coming out, but I’m not sure if it will be there for Macs at [...]

The Mac guys start calling Vista names already:
MacDailyNews starts the name calling already: “Microsoft’s Windows ‘Vista’ promises similar features to Apple’s already-shipping Mac OS X.”
Oh, really?
<snipped several defensive statements that don’t really have anything to do with the fact that Vista is not here yet. Go ahead and read the rest.>

Getting touchy are we? [...]

We got a new router/DSL modem yesterday. Our current DSL modem was in the process of dying a slow, painful death, so Ash and I decided to go looking for a new one. I took a look at the SBC web site, since we use SBC DSL service. I figured I would make sure that [...]

Today we were going home from a little shopping trip. We bought some school supplies for Morgan. He’s going to school in a few weeks. We also got him an Airport Extreme card for his Mac Mini (I know I sometimes call it a miniMac). We got it because we wanted to move his computer [...]

We finally broke down and got him a computer of his own. I was tired of being kicked off my iBook all the time so he could go look at construction cranes, or as Morgan likes to call them, tartuta cwanes. Plus, he’s getting his crap and food and drinks and stuff all over it. [...]

Disgruntled Mac users remind me of stereotypical television suburban teenagers rebelling against their parents. Harsh words are spoken, yelling occurs, doors are slammed.
What a surprise when the Mac user meets a disgruntled PC user! They are the teens in the city who get beat up by their parents when they rebel or have cigarettes put [...]

A lot of people whose opinion I respect have been saying that the Apple - Intel alliance is really non-news. C’mon! You’ve got to be kidding! This isn’t non-news. I think what they’re trying to do is calm people down. It’s just a chip, after all. It’s important, interesting, but doesn’t foreshadow doom, IMHO.
Don’t call [...]

The reason I’m not using Automator yet is that I have a job and I can’t quit.
I know if I start using it, I’ll never want to stop, my work will suffer, and I’ll either have to quit or get fired. I can just see a large landscape of possibilities opening up in front of [...]
