Changed my mind about the CS3 icons
In response to my Dad’s curiousity about some people talking about the new CS3 icons (one didn’t like them and linked to Adam Betts’s replacements: Betts CS3) I wrote this: Good question. Icons are a passionate topic for many Mac users. Mac icons have always been better than Windows icons, with the capability of being…

Why is the white guy the most radical?
God, I would love to elect a black man or a chick! Believe me man, I want nothing more than the most radical change possible from this dogshit-crap-fest we are currently calling our democracy. What a perfect time for a woman and a black man to be staging serious runs at the White House! But…

Hold your AAPL stock
Here’s the deal, though I’ve not had the personal confidence to follow it: Apple’s stock continues to be primed for future growth regardless of iPods or any new product releases. Don’t sell it yet, no matter how high it gets. No one is talking about computers anymore; with all the iPods, iTunes, iTunes Store, TV,…

The Haefster's latest jams: Sound Strategy
Sean Haefeli has just released his latest album, a 4 track EP featuring cover art by me. Check out some samples of the tunes at his website. The album shipped in a sleeve, so the art is just a front and back image. No inserts or anything extra. The best looking part actually turned out…

Chef Jeff
I’ve been cooking like never before during the year 2006. That’s a relative measurement, but I’ve also gone out for awesome brunch/breakfast more than any other year to date. Today I made that expense irrelevant by cooking up this masterpiece: Breakfast potatoes have always been one of my favorite dishes, due to growing up eating…

Learn to Program (finally!)
Most of the nerds I hang around with are obsessed with computers but can’t code at all past a webpage. Yesterday I found a free PDF at CocoaLab about programing for OS X that doesn’t assume you already know how to program. They’ve also started up a Wiki on the topic.

At least someone is paying attention
It’s hard to beat John Gruber’s opening clause here: I’ve been up to my ears in jackassery lately, -> but it’s nice to see someone in the media effectively acting like a watchdog these days. It’s not just Gruber, either. Lately there seems to be a lot of independent but popular writers in the Mac…
