Computers on TV = Mac
Posted by on Monday, September 23, 2002 in
When it comes to TV, the Mac Rules. How often do you see a computer on a show you're watching and how often is it a Mac? For me I would probably guess 95%. Every time I turn around; sitcoms, reality shows, anything at all. It's all Mac.

When you code your site links in flash you take my rights away for me to right click (or shift) and open the link in a new window. A feature I use often.

Posted by on Saturday, September 21, 2002 in
A strange month with many unique things going on but this probably tops everything. Today I received an email asking for my autographed picture. At first I thought it may have been a joke or some strange type of spam mail but as I read on it became clear that the request was made due to a family …

Posted by on Monday, September 16, 2002 in
A weird thing happened this past weekend and it all started with a simple email to Chris Pirillo (Call for Help) about an unrelated topic. I am going to start writing for Lockergnome's Bits and Bytes. I'll be writing like I do here but only more specific, focused and tech related.
Wacom tablet in action
Posted by on Sunday, September 15, 2002 in
Not much to talk about today but as usual, I was watching Tech TV today and they had Bert Monroy back on the show and it looked like he was using the exact Wacom tablet I bought. Only difference was that he was good at it. I constantly use the mouse (no wire, no ball, no battery and no infra red …

I have gotten those emails before where it said "Increase you traffic" and then it showed a picture of your site but today I got one that wasn't even my site. • "I visited REINVENTED.NET, and noticed that you're not listed on some search engines! I think we can offer you a service which can help …

Experimenting with a logo for the site. I wanted it to be simple but look decent while not really represent a capital letter. This is what I came up with.
