Deep Blue Sea 2

    10:04 on April 6, 2010 , ,

My friend, Brian Meidell, has spent the last several years polishing what is no doubt the ultimate in match-3 puzzlers. It’s got great music, a puzzle-quest-esque experience point system, powerups and otherwise completely snappy brick matching. It’s absolutely awesome, and you should buy it for Windows today, or wait a little while for a mac [...]

    15:54 on January 8, 2010 , , , ,

Slowly, one by one, my colleagues are switching out their desktop PCs with portable Macs. Except for me. Consistently, I’m suggested to “just get a Mac already”, implying the OSXperience will change my life for the better. Here’s where I think it will change my life for the better, and where it won’t. Pros of [...]

Like Tabs In the Rain: How Safari 4s Tabs-On-Top Could Have Worked

    21:45 on June 10, 2009 , , , , , ,

It seems the general reaction to Apple pulling out their Safari 4 Beta “tabs on top” feature has been generally positive. The sentiment seems to indicate the feature to be so inferior to the workaday solution of having tabs below the address-bar, that tabs-on-top shouldn’t even be optional for those of use who understand their [...]

Is There An "OSX Preview"-Like App For Windows?

    12:26 on June 9, 2009 , , ,

Working on the girlfriends Mac, one of the features about OSX I’ve come to like the most, is the Preview app. It works quite simply: you drag a bunch of files on to the Preview icon, located in the dock. The result, your selected files are added to a “drawer” in a preview window, where [...]

Through The Looking Glass, Or How My Great Macbook Adventure Was All Too Brief

I had heard of it before. I had even seen the wonder for myself. The 15” unibody Macbook Pro. Cut from a single piece of aluminum, ornamented with unicorn horn and cooled only by dodo tears. It was a one of a kind machine, and no other laptop in the world could compare. If I [...]

Unibody Macbook Pro 15 Mini-Review

    09:30 on February 11, 2009 , , ,

Peeps who follow me on Twitter may have picked up the fact that my 6 month laptop hunt ended with me purchasing a 15 inch Macbook Pro. Sure, it’s the price of two used Toyotas duct-taped together, but it’s also carved from a single piece of aluminum, and the keyboard is chiseled from unicorn horn. [...]
