I like the recommendations. I've always used SoundTrack Pro, but I may look at getting a boom, an XLR mic, and the M-Audio stuff eventually. On the bright side, my wireless mic finally shipped. It should be here Monday.

Let's see… I don't need an iMac. We have three laptops and one Power Mac already. I use my Xbox 360 and Rivet to stream movies and music and things to my TV, so I don't need a Mac Mini. We just got a MacBook, so we don't need that. A new remote? I can [...]

As I tweeted, I'd like to host an online moderated chat tomorrow and I'm looking for some recommendations on some good websites to use. I'd like to host a chat tomorrow with two guests who can talk freely and x "viewers" who can ask (moderated) questions. Recommendations? The fall-back plan is to ditch the guests [...]

Adium 1.4b9 was released on August 21 of this year. Since then, no updates of any kind have been released. I use Adium because it works reasonably well, looks the way I like, and I chat with people on various networks (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, GTalk, etc.) regularly. In later versions, however, I tend to wake [...]

I love my Harmon Kardon Soundsticks. The last time I wrote about them was in this post when I re-did my office (painted, curtains). The image from that post is: Today I was glad to see that someone else loves his Soundsticks too.

Funny. It was the top item in the "related videos" on this video, which is worth watching as well.

Does anyone out there have an older iPod in good shape? We're looking for one (even 8 GB should do), specifically one of the ones in this image. They're listed as supported iPods on this page. The wife's iPhone works, but it asks to be put into airplane mode every time you plug it in [...]

I used to joke that Microsoft wasn't an engineering (or software) company, it was a marketing company. These days, it seems even that's not true, and I agree with John's assessment in his latest fireball. But then again, what do you expect when you hire a former Wal-Mart exec to be your COO?
Is Backblaze as good as I'm hearing? $50/year for unlimited backups? I realize you need the upload speed to do it - which may be my limiting factor (~750 kbps up) - but other than a problem with your Internet speeds… it works?

How many iPhone apps do you have in iTunes? How many screens on your iPhone (or iPod Touch)? I've got 58 applications, some of which are NOT on my iPhone because I don't like them (but haven't gotten around to deleting them from iTunes). My iPhone has four screens of applications, including the almost all-Apple [...]

Does anyone know of a good free web host? I'd like to recommend one to a few people but the last time I had to look for a free web host was… never. So, any good free web hosts?

If you sign up for Dropbox (which I recommend you do), please feel free to use this link. I'm told I can get up to another 3 GB of free space if enough people do.
Sadly, it does not fix the caching issues. Hrm.

I've gotten used to Safari 4's "tabs on top." It doesn't mean I like them, and all of my previous complaints are still valid (to me). That said, I'd really like an update to the beta, even if all it did was fix this problem.
