I have lots and lots of data. For a long time, I was just adding hard drives. Now, however, I have a real solution and it’s all beautifully implemented.

About two weeks ago, I downloaded Juicen, a program that handles your “podcast” (I hate that [...]
I downloaded a song off Juliana Hatfield’s Web site to see what quality the tracks are offered. When it finished downloading, I tried to “Get Info” for the track to see the sample rate. Mac OS X doesn’t display this info. I had to load it up in a media player to display this type [...]

For those unfamiliar to “presence,” it is one of the latest buzzwords in tech. [...]
As I noted earlier, I have added a PowerBook to my computer lineup. I enjoy using Mac OS X (10.4), and find it to rarely be frustrating, unless we’re talking about keyboard shortcuts, and usually pleasant. In fact, pleasant is an excellent word to describe the experience; it’s neither thrilling nor bad.
