A gorgeous OS that continue a dribbling decent into lowest common denominator for Apple. So far my first impressions of Lion have been fairly mixed – very excited but bombarded with issues straight up including sudden panic from Chrome and Safari not working or connecting to sites. Disabling extensions, restarting [...]
WordPress on Xampp is great for local development but for the longest time I have been annoyed with the automatic updates not working in Xampp/Wordpress installations. This not only includes WordPress version updates but also updating WordPress plugins on Xampp installations. The problem I experienced was a permissions mismatch as [...]
Byline is a Google Reader client for iPhone. Google Reader is a RRS subscription platform. I have been waiting fervently for this release for over a month, resisting the temptation to jump ship to Reeder many times over. Phantom Fish, the developer, promised its delayed release would be on the [...]

Socialite, from Realmac software, is a beautiful looking application. It takes the interface I loved in Twitterrific and makes it usable (considering that Twitterrific doesn’t even have timestamps on tweets). But Socialite pro-ports to be more than just a Twitter client interfacing with MyBook, FaceSpace et al. And the big [...]
The Wolfman is a movie that did a lot of things right but was an overall disappointment for my movie-going experience. The sets were gorgeous and with Anthony Hopkins starring, how could at least some of it not rise to greatness? And indeed some of it did; Mr. Hopkins certainly [...]
