Continue reading →: iPod Photo Connector Reviewed
There’s a review on the iPod Photo Connector out on Playlist. The skinny? While it downloads RAW images from digital cameras, it can’t (yet) display them. Plus, the transfer rates seem to be pretty slow (12 minutes for 250MB) and battery drain is significant. Looks like I’ll be holding onto…

Here’s to second chances! Alex has been using NetNewsWire for a couple of years now and is a big fan of the Mac OS X newsreader. Though I used it for a little bit, I found myself going back to the browser and my list of bookmarks to read news.…

Continue reading →: Screen Capture Tip
I’ve known about the Command-Shift-3 (and Command-Shift-4 in OS X) shortcut to take screenshots of a Mac for years. That said, I always wanted a way to save the screenshot to the clipboard. The answer was right there in front of my face the whole time! Command-Shift-Control-3 and Command-Shift-Control-4! Knowing…

Dell’s got another 30% off deal for the 3100cn color laser printer. I missed a 40% off deal by a week, so the price will be $384 (instead of $330) after discount. I’ve read a few reviews, and the consensus is that it’s a very good print. Cons include it…
