Since today appears to be National Pile on RIM Day, I thought I would add a little fuel to the fire.

This morning I had planned to get up, grab some coffee and enjoy more lynda.com courses on Final Cut Pro. Instead I found myself cleaning up a coffeemaker that decided to explode grounds and liquid all over the kitchen. Now it’s time for work and I have no coffee.  Not to mention no time for [...]

The net is abuzz tonight as MobileMe users recieve more notices that MobileMe still isn’t what Apple had hoped it would be, so it’s offering 60 days more for free. Paul Thurrott has already played the part of the cynic and provided a rather insightful metaphor, but I’m going to come down on the positive [...]

If you enable sync services in Entourage 2008 to sync your calendar data to iCal and use something like Omnifocus for task management, try this. Set up Omnifocus to sync your work-related contexts to the “Entourage” calendar in iCal that Entourage created when you enabled sync services there. Now sync your tasks. Notice how they [...]

I had to get rid of Macjournal on my work Mac due to the severe .Mac syncing issues. If you thought syncing with .Mac on a regular basis caused tears on occasion, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Now that Firefox 3 is out and it’s quite useful on the Mac (although crashy for me, as I mention in the upcoming NO CARRIER show), now what needs to happen is a way to synchronize Firefox and Safari bookmarks automatically while also using .Mac for multiple computers.
