After years re-inventing document management, content management, and information management you’d think I’d get sick of it. Well, maybe I am, but I guess you could say it’s also a space I know pretty well. BOSS logic is coming back (if you were around in the NEXTSTEP days you might remember the name). If I [...]

I used to respect Sony for their superb video hardware. This year, I’ve completely backtracked and decided never to buy Sony equipment again. After making the mistake of buying a DCR-DVD301 DVD Handycam thinking that writing directly to mini-DVDs was a great idea. Well, it probably is, but Sony completely failed on the execution. The [...]

I just heard about Podcasting from two sources today: My wife mentioned it — it had apparently shown up in the news somewhere — and one of my favorite blogs, Tao of Mac made mention too.

Getting it to work with blojsom took [...]

After years of watching Linux progress and, finally, getting to a point where I could say “hey, that wasn’t too bad,” after setting up a new server — I’ve had my entire metric reset. Today my new Mac Mini arrived. I bought it with the intention of putting it to use as a small server [...]

Well, this is just amazing. I’ve been wanting to set up a whole lot of services for play time — a personal blog, a new web site (as my old one is, well, old), an improved mail server. I’ve just been putting it off for the past year or two. Do you realize how much [...]
