I’m trying to coordinate a CocoaDevHouse in Washington DC in July. It looks like the 15th is the best, although the 22nd is appealing since it would coincide with the next Iron Coder contest. You can’t beat two for one. :)
If you’re interested in getting together with some fellow Cocoa programmers, either comment […]
Rob Pegoraro of the Washington Post is one of my favorite journalists. He covers personal technology for the Post and usually has good insights on Apple products. His latest column raving about the MacBook contained something that surprised me: the folks that make Parallels is in Herndon, VA. (You know, Parallels, […]
A quick follow-up to my First Impressions of the MacBook:
Note that I’m busy working on WebnoteHappy 1.1, but I’m not ready to announce what will be in it yet. But please check out WebnoteHappy and let me know what you’d like to see in future versions. :)
So first to answer andrea who asked […]
I’ll be blogging about my Post-WebnoteHappy-1.0 Experience soon, but I wanted to share my first impressions of the MacBook while they are fresh in my mind.
I was having dinner at Tysons Corner and afterwards I stopped by the Apple Store with my wife. They had a whole table of MacBooks, 6 in all. […]
I’m trying to revamp the Happy Apps site and I was thinking about technical Mac terms. Things like “Core Data”, “Cocoa”, “Tiger”, “Spotlight”, “Dashboard”, etc. I guess the last 3 are actually used by Apple in consumer advertising and in the Apple Stores.

Still, it’s nice to see Apple advertising for the Mac again, showing […]
Apple released the 17″ MacBook Pro today which was a big surprise to me. Then again, Apple was at NAB so that is a good time for them to announce new hardware.
I’ve currently got the 17″ 1.33Ghz PowerBook G4. So let me do a quick comparison (this is the current 17″ MBP vs […]
In the late 90s, like a lot of people, I was really into investing. I mean it was sort of effortless back then. You could almost throw darts and come out with at least a 20% return. Do some actual research and you could get 70% return. Things are more normal […]
Boot Camp makes it more compelling to buy a Mac nowadays, I think. I talked with a friend on Sunday whose Windows laptop is dying. Now he is thinking about adding a desktop Mac to go along with it, because of Boot Camp. He’ll run Windows and also OS X. I […]
Well I finished my federal taxes and I realized I was getting a nice refund. Plus I had recently read today the brilliant article “Windows is the New Classic“. So I did what a good Mac enthusiast would do and finally bought a Daring Fireball membership!
Now I’ve got access to the Full Article […]
