Yea! On my computer, iPhoto no longer launches every time I attach a camera or compact flash reader. The setting to stop this was not in iPhoto (as you might foolishly expect), but in Image Capture. That is so much better. If I want an application to launch, well then I’ll damn well launch it [...]

Oh Man, I always loved the Calvin and Hobbes Snow Man Strips. It’s easy to forget how funny that strip was. via

I’ve heard all the Mac faithful singing the praises of 10.3. Some of the features look nice and all, but I haven’t felt any upgrade pressure. However, this little trick that would allow me to have command-N create a new folder (again as god intended) rather than open a new finder window (as Jobs intended) [...]

I LOVE the artwork of Lori Agostino. It’s just exactly perfect.

I seem to be running out of morning. Staying up super late will do that to you I suppose. Anyway, I don’t have time to listen to these Dakota Smith MP3s right now. Maybe later. via

Penguin Push is maddening. The first few levels are easy, but once you get up there a bit, just as you’re figuring out how to solve the puzzle, you run out of time. Every single blessed time. Plus, it seems to have crashed my browser (Mac/Moz/1.5) a few times.

I have a sense that I’ve been getting too self-deprecating recently. My confidence in myself has often been confused with arrogance. I understate my abilities and qualities for humorous effect, and to keep my ego from blossoming out of control. Uncertainty is less appealing to me than excessive confidence though. I need to dial that [...]

Oh my god! Matt Stuart’s photographs are awesome. Why don’t I ever get shots that good? Well, OK, I don’t stage my photographs very often, and at least some of Matt’s clearly are. Also, I’m not very good. See, it’s that last part that really breaks my spirit. I need to try harder.
