I currently use two Macs on a daily basis – a 27" iMac and a 15" MacBook Pro. I use the iMac for gaming, graphics, photography, and heavy development work. I use the MacBook Pro for general internet surfing and writing. My MacBook Pro is almost four years old now, and while it still handles …
New Images on Front Page
It's been over a year since I added images to the slideshow on the front of my site so I finally decided to add some more. Take a look at the homepage to check them out!
Customer Service
I have a third generation iPad and I love it, except for the home button which hasn't quite worked right since I received it. In order get it to work, you have to press really, really hard or hit it in one specific corner. Quitting and switching apps is difficult so I've been using the …
The Power of the Force
Zachary has begun employing the force when he wants something. Like a little Padawan, he thrusts his arm forward, opens his hands, and wills the object in question into his tiny grasp. Add a facial contortion and some grunting and you have a scene out of Star Wars. For example, last night he wanted some …
Taming Twins: A Great Day
Ok so I take it back, I won't give away my twins. Some days are tough and others are fantastic. It's like living on a roller coaster. Today was one of the really exceptional days. The boys woke up at 6:30 and I got up with them and let Sally sleep in for once. We …
Taming Twins: O Holy Night
Tonight was a good one. Adam wasn't feeling his best today and he was pretty much done with the world when we picked him up from daycare. He fell asleep in the car so we let him stay there for a bit after we got home while Zach ate dinner. Eventually we brought him in …
Fiona Apple: The Idler Wheel
Fiona Apple's fourth album (her first in 7 years) is different than her previous albums. Musically it is sparse and pared down without a lot of the flourish that was found on 2005's Extraordinary Machine. Most songs only have light piano and sparse percussion. Lyrically it is... happier and more self-reflective. At first I didn't …
An Adorable Ancedote
Adam was in a melancholy mood this afternoon. We'd been out for much of the afternoon and he hadn't had a nap for several hours. He was getting tired. When he gets tired he tends to get cuddly and clingy. After clinging to Sally for a bit on the couch, he noticed me in the …
Touch and Type Covers
Microsoft announced its rumored first-party tablet today. It runs Windows 8. The most interesting part to me were the two accessories that Microsoft announced, the Touch Cover and the Type Cover. Both attach magnetically to the tablet (similar to the iPad's Smart Cover), both act as a cover for the tablet when folded over it, …
Images for iBook Profile
One of my goals for the Mac Museum is to provide original content that plays on my strengths. I pour a lot of my writing ability into the profiles that I've posted (that's why they take so long to write), but I haven't had a chance to do the same with the photos. The iBook …
