Find me first. Read me second.

Apple is infamous for releasing new versions of software and only making noise about the sexiest new features, or as in this weeks iTunes 4.6 revision, feature singular. Why does Apple insist on continuing to bury any clue as to what actually gets fixed in their releases? By throwing the old ‘… includes a number … More

Freshly squeezed, from concentrate.

With age comes wisdom, patience, and apparently more frequent lapses in memory. With this observation in mind, I humbly present an update to the increasingly sporadic and currently misnamed available domain name of the week. Finally, four new weeks worth of tasty domain goodness await your perusal. The backlog has been cleared, and by golly … More

As the blog suffers.

As is apparent from the previous post, I haven’t even had time to give the new features of Blogger more than a curious glance and a cursory nod, let alone post anything. They just had to relaunch the same weekend as we did, didn’t they? The nerve. I imagine that you’ll start to see comments … More

Just you wait.

A rather large pile of stuff will be happening within the next couple of weeks. Stuff that I will be talking about here, probably at length. Stuff that I’m rather proud to have been a part of. Stuff that — for all intents and purposes — has been absorbing much more than its fair share … More

.Mac .Mail .Missing

Over at the home office, we have been using the online advertising and affiliate tracking services of My Affiliate Program to monitor response rates of the various email campaigns we send to the folks who register on our site. At some point, we plan to replace this rather convoluted and, at times, painfully implemented service … More
