Portfolio Site and Update

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

On Friday I went to a friend’s gallery opening which was amazing and inspiring and got me all fired up to stop k’vetching about my lack of work and actually start doing some work. It didn’t really hit me when I handed my business card to someone that I was a bit embarassed by my [...]

MobileMe Chat Support: Just Kidding!

Monday, July 21st, 2008

So, I emailed Apple on 7/15 asking for information on how to cancel my MobileMe account and get a refund. According to all of their literature I can cancel the service with 45 days to get a refund. I got the automated response from Apple telling me someone would get back to me in 48 [...]

MobileMe Fiasco

Monday, July 14th, 2008

This is a Microsoft-style experience, only it’s coming from the Steve Jobs, not Bill Gates. Over the weekend I blew $99 on MobileMe and as of yet, have received nothing but grief. Here’s where I stand now, three days later:
On Saturday morning I signed up for the trial of Mobile Me. It was a bit [...]

Why Apple TV Movie Rentals Are Broken

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

As a proud and mostly satisfied owner of an Apple TV, I was pretty excited about being able to order movie rentals directly through my Apple TV. It’s like having cable on demand without actually having to pay a monthly fee for cable. The system is pretty simple to use and relatively inexpensive. Movies run [...]

Feeds

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

I have never been a feed user. While many of my friends are very RSS-happy, I could never seem to make it work. Part of the problem was that my computing needs are split between my work PC (not by choice) and my Mac for everything else. I find it difficult to jump between different [...]

Introducing Simple Spark

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

One of the great things about launching a project online is that you can finally tell your friends about what has been taking up all your spare time lately. You can finally explain why you’ve been forgetting their birthdays and anniversaries, why you never return phone calls, why you weren’t at their weddings … you [...]

Apple TV Shipped

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

Way back in January I ordered the much anticipated AppleTV, a computer to TV component that I’ve been waiting for ever since I realized that I didn’t need a DVD player or a VCR to watch TV. I used to run video through my iBook to my TV, but since that died and I upgraded [...]

Apple Service Reprieve

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

A while back, I had some major issues with Apple’s service. I opined about how their outsourcing was junky and that while the phone service was good, their store service sucked. I’m happy to report that my latest round of Apple service has been excellent.
My new MacBook has been having the issue that has been [...]
