Delicious Library 2 Released
Last night Wil Shipley, and the Delicious Monster team, released Delicious Library 2. Delicious Library is a cataloging application that I’ve put to very real use to manage my CD and DVD archive. Since I’ve moved all of my media onto my network, the physical assets are of no use other than as proof of [...]
New iPod Classic 160G
Before heading out on the Summer of Love, our 6-week family road trip, I suggested to Tammy that we may want to consider getting one of the big iPod Classics. We are going to put a lot of time in the van on this trip, and the van has a full AV input that can [...]
Rails API using Fluid SSB
I’ve been diving big into Ruby on Rails this week with this class I’m taking. One of the things I found right away is you need to have the Rails API documentation very handy. The main site is api.rubyonrails.com, and frankly it’s horrible. Luckily there is a great alternative at RailsBrain that uses AJAX and [...]
Fluid and Site-Specific Browsers
So, you may be wondering what a site-specific browser is. In a nutshell, it is just a web browser that is packaged with some specific functionality or extensions to work with a specific website.

I was a bit surprised at how quickly it installed. I guess I was expecting [...]

Delicious Library 2 Interview
I love Delicious Library. Why? Delicious Library to me epitomizes the belief that software can always be better. Fundamentally what Delicious Library does could be easily done in a basic spreadsheet, but that would be incredibly boring. Delicious Library 2 is the long anticipated Leopard-only upgrade to this great program. Check it out!
Revamped OS X Desktop
Sometimes I get stuck on something, particularly late at night and I get totally obsessed. It’s almost always not very important, but then I obsess about it and the only thing that pushes me away to sleep is the dead battery of my laptop. The other night I got totally obsessed with taking a different [...]
“All In” On Apple TV
I thought about naming this post “I have a dream” but I figured the SEO impacts would be all wrong. The idea though would be spot on. I decided to go with this title and its gambling reference because I’m quite positive that I am gambling a little. I just bought my third Apple TV [...]
