Interesting idea for a site. Especially interesting to see what some people chose to spend their money on (plane ticket to leave the country, land in Second Life, guns, tats, etc.).
Debtinator - The Best $15 Investment I've Ever Made. Seriously.05/31/08
—
Debtinator is simultaneously the best $15 I've ever spent and the best thing I've ever purchased but been hesitant to tell anyone about...but screw my silly pride, there are too many people that this app can help besides myself, and the developer has been very responsive to support and feature reques...
Funny What You Find When You Google Yourself05/23/08
—
When I was day trading full-time, I used Trade-Ideas stock screening software and I don't recall whether I sent them a nice e-mail or if they are quoting an old forum post discussing Trade-Ideas, but either way, I was surprised to see myself quoted on a site like this.
To my knowledge, this is a fir...
NY Times Reader Beta for the Mac Now Available...Too Bad it Requires MS Silverlight05/23/08
—
The New York Times has released a beta of their Times Reader app for OS X, but they shot themselves in the foot with one poor decision: They chose to develop it using Microsoft's barely out of the gate Silverlight (MS' answer to Adobe's Flash).

Time Machine Recovery to New Disk Results05/01/08

Having seen the option to restore from a Time Machine back-up using the Migration Assistant, I decided to do a fresh install of 10.5.1, then give the Migration Assistant route a go since I knew the restore from Time Machine backup option in the install utilities menu has already been proven to work w...

Why Bush Will Be A Winner07/16/07
—
You won't often see me blog about political matters, but this article by William Kristol at The Washington Post has some excellent analysis of W's performance. My super liberal Bush-hating co-workers will no doubt stop after reading the introductory paragraph, but I personally believe that ...
Enough With All the 'Fat is Beautiful' Crap07/14/07
—
All this "it's OK to be fat" stuff has gone too far.
While I agree it's what's on the inside that counts, I think it's outright irresponsible to continue encouraging women that it's OK to be overweight.
Again, I have nothing against large women. I do have a proble...

So...today, after the WWDC Keynote was over, I was poking around on Apple's site to see what new bits they had on their site about Leopard. <!-- PProtector -->I was excited (more excited than I was about anything discussed during the keynote itself) to see a paragraph on the Boot Camp page...
