Hillary Clinton has an iPod. Yeah, and so do Condi, Dubya, and at least half of Washington, based on my observations during the morning and evening commutes. What’s on it is the real interesting question.
“I’ve got everything — a total smorgasbord,” the 58-year-old senator said.
Songs from Clinton’s youth figure heavily in the selection of about […]

I game across the iTunes Signature Maker and decided to give it a spin after reading the description.
People often ask me what music I listen to, and I find it difficult to describe my enormous music collection in just a few sentences. So I created iTSM to answer in sound a question I cannot […]

Here’s your chance to write ad copy for those with bad cases of Mac lust.

That ill-concieved pun in the post is a way of announcing that the folks over at DemsTV — where I’ve made a couple of appearances — are already taking advantage of the new generation of video iPods by releasing video podcasts.
Dan Manatt, one of the site’s co-founders, said earlier today that the […]

The video iPod is here.
And the new iTunes includes music videos and TV shows. I think my assimilation is now complete, because I totally want one of these, even though I totally don’t need one. I think I’m now officially a MacHead.
Really, though, I think this is going to be huge. It’s may even be […]

For some young D.C. residents, the list knows no bounds. I read this a few minutes ago, and just had to post it. After the iBook riot, this is just further evidence of how far some people will go for the latest Apple products.
In a contest to win an iPod Nano, a group of twenty-something […]

Nick is right. MSN Beta looks pretty freakin’ horrible in Firefox.
But is doesn’t look a whole lot better in Internet Explorer.
Of course that probably has somethign to do with the fact that I’m on a Mac rather than a PC. Ah, Microsoft. Back to Google I go.

I almost considered going to one of these "iBook for $50" sales that was going on in my area last week. But I figured I already have the one I use for work and didn’t need another one. (Though it might be nice to have a spare.) Now I’m kinda glad I didn’t, because apparently […]

OK. So I upgraded to Mac OS X Tiger last night, at work and at home. And while it’s probably a bit early for me to offer anything in the way of a review, a couple of things jumped out at me right away.
By far, my favorite feature right now is the Dashboard and its […]

Another quickie, just to say that I finally upgraded to Max OS X Tiger at work. I’ll probably upgrade the home computer tonight, after the kid goes to bed. I haven’t had a chance to try out all the new stuff, but the widgets sound particularly interesting. At present, I’m trying Mail to see if […]

And—surprise, surprise!—it’s me. Engadget had a contest for the best Mac mini review a while back, and I submitted a revised version of the one-week-with-the-mini review I posted here. Well, thanks to a comment from Brad, I just found out that I won the contest.
Wow.
Frankly, I’m floored. I did not expect to win. I don’t […]

So, I’m enjoying the Mac mini immensely. I’m particuarly enjoying all the little trips and tricks I’ve been picking up here and there.
Some favorites of mine include some keyboard shortcuts I’ve learned. Like “command key + ~” (on my keyboard it’s the key between “Ctrl” and “Alt”) which allows me to switch between open […]

I can’t believe I did it on the first try, but I’ve successfully networked the PC to the mini, and my iTunes library is moving from the former to the latter.

I never expected to become a Mac user. Really, I didn’t. Not that I was all that enamoured of Windows, but it was just the OS I had the most experience with. Besides, as a pretty avid computer gamer, if I wanted to play most of the latest games when they came out, Windows was […]
