My 5th generation iPod turns up its nose at my new iMac; later they become friends.

This was a big splurge for me, but one that I truly Continue reading New iPod Woes Solved June 23rd, 2007
I try some software to add formatted hypertext documents to my Treo. I’m one of these people who can’t spend more than a few minutes without some kind of mental stimulation.

The video is out and selling briskly. Last month, I flew to Vancouver to record a training video for macProVideo.

It combines a full view Continue reading My macProVideo for Word Now Available July 29th, 2006
Calling one playlist from another to keep the music fresh. I listen to iTunes all day long when I’m working in my office. I’m sitting in front of the computer, it has 4,000 songs on it, and there are a pair of stereo speakers attached to it — why wouldn’t I use it to play music Continue reading Combining iTunes Playlists July 24th, 2006

I buy a new iPod accessory. It isn’t the iPod that’s costly. It’s the accessories. Anyway, one of the things I like to do with my iPod is listen to podcasts.
