There have been a lot of great shots at the Mirror Project, but this is by far my favorite.

Jaguars Have Spots
I feel the need for a redesign. Yes, I’ve said it before, but this time I mean it. I put Movable Type back on the Powerbook, and started last night while watching Big Brother. I’m not starting with the main site this time, but with the Geekery, and a new section that will move all […]
Freeeeeee?! Did you say freeeeeeee??!!
Oh yes, and they’re lovely. I remember visiting this site many moons ago, and harvesting loads of fonts. Since then, they’ve expanded: Free dincFONTS. Some beautiful typefaces for your designery.
iChat U 2
Ok, my favorite new feature in OS 10.2 has go to be iChat. They’ve outdone the AIM client in almost every way. It’s gorgeous in that iTunes kinda way, and the Rendezvous thing looks like it will be a lot of fun. The only problem is the fact that I think I’m the only person […]
Amazonians Unclear on the Concept
Amazon.com is great. It allows people who’ve used a product to rate and review it so I can make a more informed decision. This system is especially useful when buying video games (yes, I broke down yesterday and bought a PS2). But, I’ve noticed an annoying trend. Games that no one outside of the company […]
OS X is Great – BUT!!
I love OS X. I just installed Jaguar, and I was desperately hoping they would provide a utility to switch the mouse buttons. You see, I’m left-handed. I use the mouse with my left hand. In Windows (which I’m trying to wean myself off of) and Linux, I can easily flip the mouse buttons so […]
Hmmm, Something to Think About
It’s articles like these that make me think. You know, I love Linux. I also love OS X and have no real hatred for Windows (I do have real hatred for Microsoft). The point of the editorial is basically to watch out for Linux on the desktop. Ummm, duh. Just the other day at Lowe’s […]
TalkBack… Or Not
You know what I love ZDNet’s TalkBack feature? It doesn’t matter what the article, the rhetoric is the same. Every single article seems to break down into the same argument. I just couldn’t resist this one though: News: Xbox goes online… with Linux
It’s Not All Bad
I posted yesterday about VirtualPC and how slow it was. It’s still slow, but not a complete loss. I was playing around yesterday, trying to get RedHat installed on a new virtual drive. It was taking FOREVER, so I put the machine to sleep in the middle of the install. I came in this morning, […]
What a Great Idea (in Theory)
I’ve always loved the idea of VirtualPC. But, in practice, it doesn’t quite live up to the hype. I got work to pony up for VirtualPC 5 w/ Windows 98 (which was waiting for me when I got back). It’s all installed on my lovely Powerbook. The problem is it’s dog slow. This was my […]
