Do fonts look like crap on your shiny new copy of snow leopard?
That’s probably because Snow Leopard now relies on your monitor to tell your machine that it’s an LCD. Unfortunately, many LCDs including both of my Dell displays don’t do this. So you get no sub-pixel anti-aliasing. Bad times.
But don’t fret. …
As of right now, I have a Drobo filled with 1TB drives that I’m pretty happy with. After a couple of weeks of pain the new Drobo has settled down, and we’re peacefully co-existing.
But I’m running out of space. With 4 1TB drives, you end up with about 2.7TB of usable space, and …
I’ve been very reluctant to buy a Kindle. Not because I don’t think e-readers are a great technology. They are. I’ve been reluctant because when you use a Kindle, you’re entering a walled garden. The books you “buy” don’t have the same benefits as a printed book. You cannot loan …
There have been lots of people running into lots of issues with 10.5.7. Since I’ve run into a few myself I thought I would piss into the wind here and let the anonymous masses know my pain.

In case you’re wondering, the debate on public healthcare has been deeply corrupted by the healthcare industry who have been manipulating the debate for a while now and using political donations and lobbyists to bully politicians on both …
Just to start out…. good riddance.
In case you’ve been in a cave since the 4th of July, Sarah Palin has resigned as Alaska’s governor. She’s also been incoherently ranting and whining about why. None of which is even remotely believable.
While I have exactly zero information about the actual reasons for her resignation, I …
Okay, Safari 4 is now released, and thank god they abandoned top tabs. Whew.
But for some reason, they kept the stop/reload madness.
In the past, the Safari combined the stop and reload buttons and pinned this new button directly to the left of the address bar. This made great sense, because the address bar …
The new Palm phone is coming, and it’s another in a long line of “iPhone Killers”.
It goes without saying that Palm has a tremendous amount of work to do to try and unseat the iPhone as king of smart phones. They are not only launching a new hardware platform, but a new OS as …
At some point I will take the time to start detailing my disappointments with the Obama administration. Don’t get me wrong, Obama has done a lot right in his first couple of months, but his missteps are large enough to be disconcerting.
The big one is really his handling of the warrant-less wire tapping suits, …
