iTunes Music Store
Sunday, January 25th, 2004

I just bought the Lord of the Rings soundtrack for my wife off of the iTunes Music Store… Just had to post about how great it is! All I had to do was search for Lord of the Rings, click Buy Album, and within two minutes it had downloaded all 19 songs—an hour and nineteen […]

Stock Photography sites
Wednesday, January 21st, 2004

Found a couple of good stock photography sites recently…

MarineStock focuses on marine related photos, and is coming along nicely. It just recently launched, so it doesn’t have a huge collection yet, but there are quite a few good ones there like this one that my dad took. Here are other photos he has submitted from […]

CRASH
Tuesday, January 20th, 2004

My poor wife hasn’t been having much luck with cars for the past 6 months or so. Last year her car was hit twice while she wasn’t even in it. Then she used my car for a few days and someone hit that car too, while she was at work. The damage was minor to […]

OneWord: Burn
Tuesday, January 20th, 2004

When I was a kid my grandparent’s house didn’t have central heating, so they always had a kerosene heater in the kitchen to keep the house warm. One day when I was staying with them because my parents were out of town or at work, my uncle and I were playing around on a scale […]

OneWord: Rotate
Thursday, January 15th, 2004

Rotating and sorting through your pictures is much easier in the new iPhoto 4 thanks to the new slideshow controls during the slideshow. You can flip through all of the pictures one by one, rotate them, rate them, or delete them, all while seeing them in a full screen preview rather than a little thumbnail. […]

Cool Non-Apple stuff announced today
Tuesday, January 6th, 2004

Like I’ve already mentioned Apple announced some really cool new software updates and additions today, as well as the new iPod Mini. However they weren’t the only cool things announced at MacWorld.

Elgato System announced the EyeTV 200, and the EyeHome, both of which are extraordinarily cool looking.

EyeTV 200
I’ve written about the original EyeTV before, and […]

Many iPod Mini’s & iLife
Tuesday, January 6th, 2004

Apple announced the rumored Mini iPods this morning, along with some nice updates to its iLife software package.

iPods
Before announcing the iPod Mini, Steve released the sales figures for the “bigger” iPods. 730,000 for the fourth quarter of last year alone, and around 2,000,000 total. Wow! The iPod has 31% of the MP3 player market, and […]

Fontifier
Monday, January 5th, 2004

From the creators of the always helpful IdentiFont comes Fontifier, a web site that allows you to upload a sample of your handwriting, which is then turned into a Win/Mac compatible system font for use in your favorite graphics app!

You just download the template, print it out, write in the letters in your own handwriting, […]

OneWord: Volcano
Monday, January 5th, 2004

My wife and I watched Showgirls the other night… One of the repeating scenes was during their show when the “Goddess” would pop out of a volcano to make her grand entrance. Man that was a terrible movie… One of the worst I remember seeing… Ever. I think I saw parts of it when I […]

iSync
Monday, January 5th, 2004

I’ve used iSync only a little bit since I got my Macs, mostly just to sync the Address Book and Bookmarks between the two machines. But tonight I really saw some of its power…

I have trouble remembering when my wife is going to be working, since she has several part-time jobs and a very confusing […]
