Drive-In Beta Review and a Look at UNO for Aqua

 

UNO is a system-wide theme for aqua. Basically the installer modifies some system files to your settings so your applications, the Finder, iTunes, and Dashboard look better. You can choose between a default aqua shade, a darker UNO shade, or a lighter unified shade. Personally I like the lighter UNO shade for [...]

Opinions on “10 Classic Features to ‘Bring Back’ to OS X” from the Apple Blog

 

First off, you can read the article in its entirety here.
Now, for some reason I always find myself suckered into reading these articles when they appear on digg. The top 10 Mac shareware apps, 10 Mac apps you don’t know about, etc. Usually the same stuff over and over again. This was [...]

More Possible Logo Choices – Need Your Feedback

 

Well, I’ve been working hard on the site in hopes that by doing that, finals won’t come any quicker. If only that were true. To the point, here are so more mockups of possible site art. I’ve learned a ton of stuff in Photoshop in the last few weeks and it’s amazing. [...]

DeLorean – The Man with a Dream and the Car

 

For those that possibly don’t know, I am a huge DeLorean enthusiast in addition to my slight addiction to the Mac community. When I have the time to pull myself away from my Mac and my code, I do enjoy playing the Alto Sax and reading all I can on this wonderful car. [...]

The actual site itself is down from the traffic, but you can catch the mirror below.

Macbook Battery Issues

 

I’ve had it with my Macbook battery. I calibrated it when I bought the thing back in July or whenever they were first released and didn’t have any issues with it for awhile. However, over the last month or more, the computer would just die when it had about an hour left on [...]

New Possible Logo for Site

 

For those that I haven’t badgered with various Photoshop or CSS questions in the last month, I’m working on a complete overhaul to the site. The current theme is one that has evolved from a WordPress theme I found somewhere in the theme directories online, and because of such it’s frankly a mess. [...]

UMG CEO Says All iPod Owners Are Theives

 

You can read the article here, but basically the Zune is being officially launched tomorrow and Microsoft struck up a deal with UMG to provide some money to UMG for each Zune sold, letting them in on the profit. When I first heard about this yesterday, I thought it made a tad bit of [...]

Back To The Future Models

 

Just to share a bit about myself, I love DeLoreans. I was hooked the first time that I saw the Back to the Future movies with Doc Brown’s crazy time machine made out of a DeLorean. I’ve read books about John Z DeLorean but never had the chance to see one in real [...]
