I love Mailplane. Ever since moving all my email into the cloud (via Gmail), I’ve been learning to love Gmail for all it’s spam-killing and easy consolidation of my more than a dozen email accounts.
BUT, I still remain dubious about the Web OS and browser-based applications. I still find it tough to keep [...]

Prompted by Matt Cutts’ recent overview , I thought I’d give the new version of Google Reader a run through.  I’ve never been a fan of web-based news readers.  I’ve actually never been a fan of web-based applications in general because they get lost in my dozens of browser windows that get opened during the [...]

As I think I’ve written about before here, I’m contstantly in search of a good Blog writing software. Today, I came across WriteToMyBlog, an online blog editor.
The concept is pretty cool. A web-based AJAXy editor that allows posting of blog entries to any, or many, of your blogs (a feature I’ve never seen [...]

I’ve been using a Macintosh Powerbook G4 for going on 4 years now. I don’t miss Windows for a second. I’m not even dying to get a new Intel Mac so I can run Windows (though I am dying to get one for the performance improvements).

I’ve just upgraded to MacJournal 4 and am just using it now for the first time to write this blog entry.
I previously reviewed MacJournal 3 several months almost a year ago, and was impressed with it. I even registered it. I am, however, a fickle software user and stopped using it. I’d since [...]

Official word is that google has acquired writely, a web-based word-processor, document collaboration, Microsoft Word killer — one more step toward global domination for the big G.
I have a fundamental problem with browser-based tools like this. The web browser is becoming an operating system and with the separation between my real operating system and [...]

Seems Apple has had enough of watching Bose SoundDocks fly off the shelves at a bone-jarring $299 each and getting only retail margins. They’ve just announced their own SoundDock killer. More features, more price, more margins at $349.
Sound quality is the wild card, and I’d put my money on Bose for [...]

In my work as a website publisher, there are many things that must be done to keep websites [...]
