Logitch Harmony 520 Remote

I've heard good things about the Logitech line of universal remotes, and the 520 caught my eye. Carey and I currently have, oh, four remotes we use regularly (TV, TiVo, Receiver, DVD Player). All but the TiVo are Sony remotes, so there is some overlap, and the TiVo I programmed to power on both the […]

QotD: Coaching

Question: If you were coaching kids in a sport, what's the most important thing you could hope to teach them? My Answer: A game is a game. Play well, but if you don't, well, it's just a game. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on […]

Photon Now Open Source

Photon is now open source. I've written about Photon several times. Like here, and here, and here, and, lastly, here. In the last entry, when Photon was made free, I suggested that one of two things was likely to be happening: That a significant upddate (which I was told a month or two ago was […]

Bleu Rose Gone Black

I guess that was the end of the line for them. When looking for the crash QotD on my own blog for the previous post, I found this old post about Bleu Rose and their "public notice" to the Mac community that they were going to stop developing for the Mac. Seems they actually stopped […]

Smart Crash Reports

Leave it to Unsanity. Earlier this year I mentioned in a QotD that I was "still hoping Apple provides a way for an application to provide contact information for the developer so that we, not frickin' Apple, get the crash reports." Now we can, with Smart Crash Reports. Of course, SCR is not ideal as […]

Busy Busy Busy

Yes, the "busy-ness" has crept in. Acting as the (volunteer) assistant coach for the golf team has taken an inordinate amount of time from my day. They play 2-3 matches per week and have practice several of the other days. Matches start at four o'clock, and Carey gets home at 3:30 or so, meaning every […]

QotD: Labor Day

Question: Did you travel for labor day? My Answer: About 45 minutes to Findlay lake, yes. Any more than that and we likely would have stayed at home. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Katrina in One Word

Question: What single word do you think best summarizes the whole Hurricane Katrina situation - the storm, the results, the politics, the crazy people with guns - everything? My Answer: Stupefying. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Potty Trained

Question: When were you potty trained? My Answer: I was an active kid. I didn't have the time to go potty! I waited until I was nearly 3½ years old! 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Buckle Up

Question: Do you buckle your seat belt? My Answer: Damn right I do, and I insist that anyone riding with me does as well. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Rebuild

Question: Should New Orleans be rebuilt? My Answer: I don't know that it's worth it, no. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

The Sand Trap .com Logos

The Sand Trap .com today introduced new logos, created by Mike Rohde of Rohdesign. Yes, this is the same talented Mike Rohde that crafted MailDrop 2.0's icons. The logos will be featured on the site, some apparel, and of course some business cards. I've been working on one main idea (see below). I like it, […]

iDisk Lockups When Opening/Saving

For the past month or two, Mac OS X - or more particularly, certain applications - lock up for an incredibly long time when I open or save documents. Why? iDisk. As soon as I log off the AirPort network, the open/save dialog appears instantly. The problem seems to lie mostly with Carbon applications, but […]
