Where are Your Bitcoins Now?
Some time ago I created a post which drew some ire from the Bitcoin faithful. To this day I still do not get what all the hubbub was about it, except for the anonymous nature of both the “currency” and the transactions which could be made with it. Unless you are trying to buy something [...]
TreeID
It’s that time of the year again and the leaves are starting to fall. Ever wonder about those leaves and what kinds of trees they might be from? Now you can use your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to learn more about them. TreeID from MEDL Mobile will teach you the name (common and scientific), [...]

Moleskine Needs the Cloud
I am a big fan of Moleskine. Those wonderful black covered, nylon-banded notebooks that no hipster could live without. While not a hipster by any means, I do use them daily for making notes, doodles and other things as they relate to specific projects. For many projects they are where my ideas begin and quite [...]
Cooking With Kung Fu Panda
When I first heard of the Kung Fu Panda Interactive Cookbook, I thought it was just another weird attempt at getting a couple more bucks out of the parents of kids who are in love with the movies. Boy, was I wrong! What a great way to introduce kids to the world of cooking! Check [...]
Let’s Not Turn Our Friends Into Dancing Elves
This is first (and quite likely not the last) post to advise against an app. I know we have all seen these things before and, like seeing a Faces of Death film or anything with Andy Dick in it, once seen it can’t be unseen.
Batch Image Resizing Without Photoshop
For such a long time I have needed to process a group of images such as screen captures to bring them down to a more usable size. Photoshop is great for this, but is an expensive solution for this simple problem. It turns out that, with a little assistance from Automator, Preview can do this [...]
Winebottler | Windows Apps on the Mac
Have a Windows application that you just can’t seem to find a suitable replacement for on the Mac and don’t really want a BootCamp partition or a virtual machine? Winebottler can be a great solution. While it doesn’t support every Windows application, it does support a great many of them.. The site has a wiki [...]
The Trouble with Mozy
I like cloud storage. I like it a lot, but of all of the cloud-based storage apps I have tried, Mozy is the only one (so far) that has proven to be more of a hindrance than a help. While I does backup and synchronize the files I have given it to deal with, it [...]
Indispensable App | Dropbox
Dropbox saves my bacon every day. It not only provides a safe, convenient place for my files in the cloud, but it saves me from carrying a laptop everywhere I go. Syncs to Windows and Mac and to most mobile devices as well, so your files are always accessible. The free account is 2GB, but [...]
Indispensable App | Evernote
I first downloaded Evernote about 2 years ago to my iPhone and used it off and on. Not until I downloaded the desktop app to my Mac, did I realize its full potential. One of the best note-taking apps I have ever used. Web clipping, note taking, photos, business cards. Whatever you throw at it, [...]
