This post might not have very much to do with Macs at all, but it’s a video that I found online somewhere and thought it was pretty interesting. It’s a commercial for a Honda car, but the movie itself is a very large and complex machine, reminding me of the cartoons where everything worked [...]

I got around to placing a link to the site’s message boards finally. So you can reach that area under the “Support” area of the site, or by selecting the link from our “Just Added” area in the sidebar to the left.
We had some RSS issues late this week, due to me making some [...]
