Too many hobbies, not enough focus
I'll be honest here, it's going to take me a while to do a full write up on all of the Macs that I have. So as I add new Macs to my collection, I'm going to post quick summaries of my first impressions. My latest addition is a 300 MHz iBook G3 in Tangerine. …

This has been a long article in the making. It covers the first four Power Mac G4 models from 1999 through 2001. I rewrote it three times or so because the flow just wasn't right and when I finally had something I liked, my server died. So I had to rewrite it a fourth time. …

A Tangerine iBook that I scored off of eBay. I love these things. It's like an iMac squished into a laptop. My top pick would have been a Lime one, but they usually go for $200+. I got this one for $63 including shipping and that was a great deal. A Mac Plus (I think) …

I read a lot of very respectful comments on Facebook yesterday about Steve Jobs passing. Some said thank you, some said in rest in peace, and some said farewell. A few of them started with something like "I've never owned an Apple product, but ...". I found those comments very interesting because it almost seemed …
I first got into Macs when I was in middle school. I fell in love with Macs- the way they were designed, the way they worked, the minute details that were considered in their creation. If not for you, I would not have had long to enjoy them. Apple was on the brink of bankruptcy, …
I mentioned last month that I was officially starting a Mac Musuem. In addition to a physical collection of Macs and other Apple hardware, the Mac Museum will have an internet presence as well. The Mac Museum portion of this site is dedicated to documenting the Macs and hardware that I have in the collection. …
This was originally supposed to be a post about what new iPhone models I thought Apple would announce on Tuesday. I thought that they'd announce two models - a low-end model that looks like the iPhone 4 and a high-end model that had a new case design. Then I read John Gruber's thoughts in his …
