…or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Overview. EDIT: for an update on how I feel about Mint.com these days, please see this post. I’ll freely admit that I suck with money: I spend it if I’ve got it, I can’t keep track of it very well, and budgeting is… well… one [...]
Oftentimes I look at my iPhone and wonder why I’m not enjoying it more like all those people on the commercials who link up with 27 of their closest friends in downtown San Francisco for some flashmob Titterific event… or something. And then I find an app like RedLaser. So incredibly worth the $2 they’re [...]
VirtualBox is much, much faster on my Windows 7 PC than VMWare Workstation 6.5. And cheaper. ted, the torrent episode downloader, is possibly one of the most efficient fixes to an organizational problem I’ve had in quite some time.

They really need to update their GUI to reflect this and not just [...]
I’ve got an Xbox 360, mostly to become a millionaire in Forza Motorsport 2. Well, a little way’s back, the add-on hard drive failed with an E67 error indicating a bad external hard drive. So, there the Xbox sat, unused. What’s the point when you can’t save that Porsche 911 GT3 you just won? And [...]

Announced today: Picasa is finally available for the Mac. Not that iPhoto wasn’t sort of slick, and made my first introduction to owning a Mac a really fun learning experience… but it’s just that Picasa is world’s better than iPhoto (or any other more expensive option like Lightroom).
