At the beginning of this month, Xerox joined a number of corporations and jumped onto the Web 2.0 bandwagon. When I first saw their new logo, the font reminded me of the new Kodak logo. Oddly enough, the logo wasn’t well received among many graphic designers and other people of that ilk. I have to…
I, like many other Mac users, have saved every box/package of every Apple product that I have purchased or have received as gifts. It’s not like I have a huge collection, but a few empty boxes can get in the way of being tidy. So, when something like the Bird-Electron EZ17-B iPod Recycling Speaker comes…
The story of the Sosumi sound is widely known among Mac users. It’s not often, though, that you get to hear the story from the person that actually made the sound and so many other well-known Mac system sounds. So, when I came across this article at BoingBoing, I was thoroughly intrigued. Be sure to…
I got home today really excited to see what had been said at the Stevenote this morning at Macworld. It really was no surprise to see the introduction of the MacBook Air [1] [2], because I had been reading about all the rumors on various Web sites. I was really expecting to see something bigger…
I was searching for the latest news on CES 2008 at Engadget when I came across a funny video that was shown at Bill Gates’ final keynote at the expo. It basically shows Gates floundering in the search for a new job now that he is stepping down as the CEO of Microsoft.

I remember a few years back when the RAZR was new and everyone wanted one. They’re not as popular today, but they’re still really nice, so when we decided to upgrade our plan and our phones, the choice was obvious. We all got the “Pearl Gray” RAZR V3 which we now have to customize and…
Yay! High-speed Internet! We had our satellite-based Internet installed today, and I must say that I am very happy! After being stuck with AOL for almost 10 years, it feels good to upgrade. We had been looking into getting a faster connection for quite some time now, but no one seemed to service the area,…
Apple was on the California leg of The Remix Tour today. Jakie and I had originally planned to go the seminar at USC, but time crept up on us more quickly than we thought, and so we agreed to go to the one at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. We really didn’t…
Mac OS X Leopard is finally out, and it seems to be making a big impression! Jakie and I went to the Apple Store at the Irvine Spectrum yesterday for the World Premiere. We were two of the 500 that got free T-shirts too! One of the Apple guys that was handing out Leopard info…
