Passing Fancies

  1. TOOLS
  • Giving in to Temptation
    I don't know what came over me today. I even called John to talk me down. But that didn't work. Even the prospect of getting in bed with the devil, AT&T, did not seem to hinder me. And so...
  • I Want An iPhone
    I don't need an iPhone. I have my iPod for my calendar and address book. I have an old LG cellphone that still perks along. My two year contract with Verizon expired several months ago. But part of me...
  • Cruisin'
    Have been spending even more time out of the house since I got my Electra Cruiser Deluxe. A lovely cruiser it is with it's torpedo tail light. It was just the answer to my post broken leg period where...
  • Blogher Redux
    Still have a glow from yesterday's Blogher conference. I haven't been to many conferences, but this was one of the most enjoyable I've attended. I don't know if it was because women communicate better, but there was a lot...
  • Blogher
    Excited about attending Blogher tomorrow. Even though there's nothing on Web Design, I'm sure I'll get lots of inspiration and motivation from just being around all these web women. My Sheep ‘blog’ is now five years old and is...
  • This Could Be A Special Day
    Mr. Lemur gives his two cents about Microsoft and RSS. “As is typical in Microsoft announcements, support is not enough. They are ‘enhancing’ it. Anytime Microsoft says ‘enhancement,’ it means more crap to work around or fix.” Using RSS...

    My Studio Display has dimmed…again. And this time, it's past warranty time. Here's how to fix yourself. Dashboard's Top 50 Widgets. I see with the updated version of iTunes, now comes Podcasts. Interesting feature. Will have to see how...
  • Mac Monday
    iPod shadow dancing. So funny. [Thanks, iPodlounge] All Macintel, all the time. Have been listening to the back and forth opinions as to what Apple using Intel chips means to my Sheena. This article sums up some of the...
  • News Bits
    “…Hearst has become marginalized by the aggregators and wouldn't let it happen again…” Hearst News puts Google and news aggregators on notice. After setting PulpFiction and NetNewsWire down side-by-side to see the differences (NNW's 'help' works, PF's doesn't; tabs...
  • Mac Tools
    I took a glance at Automator and then went on. But since my IGetMusic doesn't work with Tiger, I've been without the ability to download the new movies from iTunes. A quick search came up with this little gem,...
  • A Weblog Near You
    I'm always looking for Bay Area websites. I happened to run across BlogMap. You just enter your url after putting the meta tag with your ICBM number in your html, and voila,… A Guide to Using RSS, Which Helps...
  • Upgrade Time
    Have been busy upgarding my G5, Sheena. Popped in two 512MB ‘memory modules’ to my little queen of the jungle and she is snappy as hell. Got a $34 rebate on each module which makes it even snappier for...
  • Handy Tools
    Apple accepting widgets. I love my Konfabulator. Hopefully some of the people who now create widgets for it, will be able to submit them to Apple. [Thanks, Dori] iPod Wallet: I just got mine: shiny black on the outside,...
  • RSS Feeds, Continued
    For the Mac: How to make a Google Map option for your Address Book. Just add an AppleScript and a “Google Map of” option will appear in the Address Book application…
  • RSS Feeds
    Upon Macworld's four and a half mice recommendation (don't read if you're a fellow impulse buyer), I've recently started using PulpFiction as my RSS reader of choice and am quite pleased with it…
