It’s fairly rare that I leave my home base in southern Indiana, but I have just returned from a six hour road trip down to Atlanta for the first ever stateside version of NSConference. NSConference is put on by the team behind the Mac Developer Network.
It wasn’t until a few weeks ago that I […]
It’s rare that I ever agree with anything Michael Arrington says, but his latest post today resonated with me. Arrington went off about getting dozens of emails a day from PRMac, the press release distribution service used by many Mac developers. PRMac works by distributing your press release off to hundreds of its […]
I have been thinking a lot about my online presence over the past few weeks. I am always quick to jump on board and try the latest beta services and have embraced quite a few longterm including Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr.
When I saw the demise of tr.im and the acquisition of FriendFeed […]
Congratulations to Jamie Montgomerie for finally getting his beautiful book reader Eucalyptus finally accepted on the AppStore. The rejections from Apple based on searchable content were laughable at best and I’m glad to see that (once again) after a bit of bad PR, Apple relents on a bad practice.
Early reviews of the […]
I was out to dinner the other night celebrating the college graduation of a good friend. Graduation season is always interesting to me, partially because I usually still know someone graduating and because most everyone seems to have enjoyed their college time far more than I ever did.

I recently wrote about my transitioning to a new bug tracking system for Second Gear. In that post I discussed the prospect of using Bento:
I was incredibly interested in Bento for a tracking solution, because of those reasons. Bento is an application that I have wanted to use for quite a while, but never […]
ClickToFlash made a bit of a wave late last week when it was discovered. A real, non-inputmanager method to disable Flash objects until they are clicked on for WebKit/Safari. Firefox users have had this for a while, but for WebKit Safari folks, it means letting Adobe’s CPU hogging plugin eat your system […]
Since I recently decided to give my own bug tracking solution the Anton Chigurh Treatment, I’ve been evaluating issue tracking solutions to move forward with.
When I set out to build my own tracker a few years ago, it was mainly because I found the existing solutions to be a bit too heavy for […]
I’ve officially been indie since the end of April and have had varying degrees of success. Out of the gate, Today 1.0 was a smash hit. The application was picked up by all the major news sites, reviewed on countless blogs and even achieved the holy grail of the Mac community: a […]
