So, I’m just not sure what to say about this. I think it kind of speaks for itself. YouTube Link | iGallop found via Twisted Intellect
There is a new CD/DVD burning application for the Mac, called Disco, that has been getting a lot of attention lately. It actually looks very cool, so I started to wonder… Is Disco a Toast killer? Unfortunately, the answer is NO… at least not for me. Now, Disco is currently in public beta, so some [...]
Now that my host offers a better webmail client, I decided to switch my email account from POP over to IMAP, so I could access all my mail from anywhere. I was a very disappointed on how poorly Apple’s Mail application supported IMAP right out of the box. If you’re using a .Mac address it [...]

Three months ago I moved this site to Media Temple’s Shared-Server (ss) package. It wasn’t all I wanted it to be, but at that time they were beta testing their new and improved Shared-Server (ss6), which had the features I wanted. Sometime between then and now, they dumped the idea, or at least the name, [...]
My host, Media Temple, has made some big changes to their hosting plans. They have dropped shared hosting all-together, and replaced it with something they call Grid-Server. All-in-all it looks like a better service, but it does require me to do some setup to move the site. I’ll be initiating the move today. The site [...]
