I lost some pictures last night. From 20110222-0814. I think I got them all back. Here’s the story. At the office, I had moved the files from my Nikon D90’s 8GB Kingston SD card to my new MacBook Air. That went fine. Lots of pics. It had been far too long since I’d processed the [...]

MacBook Air (Late/Fall 2010 Model)
Posted in Macintosh/OS X, Reviews on 15 August 2011 | Leave a Comment »
This Saturday, 13 August 2011, I picked up a MacBook Air 13.3” 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo 256GB SSD 2GB via Craigslist. Bought it from a good guy. It’s super clean and still has six months of warranty. I plan to add AppleCare to it to extend it two and a half years. My biggest concern [...]

Someone came to the office today and said they had just bought themselves an iPad 2 3G AT&T at Best Buy today and that they had one or more in stock still. So I called and they had two. So I ran over and bought one. I had one on order from Apple but it [...]

I sold my iPad to a friend last night. He was going on the road and needed something portable. Looks like the iPad will be a great fit, and it was exactly what he’d wanted (but hadn’t hoped to get). I ate some cash selling it but I don’t mind at all. It was a [...]
Aperture 3

When Apple launched their Mac App Store recently, they put Aperture 3 in it and dropped the price for App Store purchase from $200 to $79.99. That’s a compelling price. After reading a few reviews and talking to my photographer friend, I bought it. I’ve only played around with a bit to date, testing reference [...]
Apple TV

My Apple TV arrived last week, Friday morning. I set it up that night. Man, this thing is small. And just the ability to stream music from my MacBook Pro over wifi is worth the $100 I paid for this wonderful little device. I would prefer it if the remote had a raised wheel on [...]
What’s Bugging Me About Android
Posted in Macintosh/OS X, Reviews on 27 August 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been using my Samsung Vibrant T-Mobile Android smartphone since last Saturday. Today is day 6, Friday. Before I made the jump, I made a list of reasons to stay with my iPhone. Then I went to Kansas City and got to play with EdM’s Droid. And then, unexpectedly, my wife liked her mom’s new [...]
-iPad

So long, iPad (for now). I bought an iPad 64GB 3G on Sunday. I returned it to the Apple Store last night (Thursday). Here are the reasons: It would forget my [Verizon FiOS WEP] access point’s password. Re-entering the password wouldn’t handle it, it would keep asking me for the password. Pushing <Cancel> to the [...]
-iPhone +Android +iPad

Went to the mall with friends after wife’s birthday lunch yesterday. Wife tells me on the way she’s interested in a data plan. I say not with her Blackberry Curve Flip. No, she says, with the same Android phone — a Samsung Vibrant — her mom got yesterday. Cool. We arrive and find out T-Mobile [...]
My MacBook Pro is over three years old.
Posted in Macintosh/OS X on 17 August 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve had my MacBook Pro over three years now. If memory serves, I ordered it near 29 July 2007. And I’m quite happy that it’s still one of the fastest machines in the company and serves my needs quite well. I do wish it would support more than 3GB of RAM, but that’s not too [...]
