The MacJournal Test

This will be my first post with a new piece of software I got as part of a bundle over at MUPromo. I wanted to give it a try before I really started working on my upcoming Post Dragon*Con post. Maybe that is a one too many posts...but anyway... Hopefully this will …

My Post Dragon*Con 2008 Thoughts

I will never miss Dragon*Con again if at all possible. It was the best convention I have ever been to. I don't know if it was all the awesome geekout worthy stars that just wandered around the con and were actually friendly, or if it was the amazing people that I met …

Restart Your Dock

Today my Dock froze for some reason. I could still click on everything, but the visuals weren't updating at all. I didn't know how to restart the dock so I had to look it up online. It was easy enough to find it and figure it out, but I wanted there to be an easier …

Do you like audio books? Do you like podcasts? If so then you really should check the world of podcast fiction. It's a great way to get new books without spending much money at all. That is until you find some that you like and decide to support the author, which I …

New Domain

You may have noticed that I have moved my blog to a new domain. It took me this long to figure out that the majority of people can't remember out how to spell Aberrant or Absurdity off the top of their heads because those words aren't used much in every day speech. I …

BarCamp Orlando

I will finally be attending my first BarCamp. I am very excited that they are holding one in Orlando, FL. What is ironic though is that I am currently dissolving my web design company. I need to focus on building one company at a time and it is easier to build a …

Issuu + Playing For Keeps

So thanks to Webware I just dicovered a new service called Issuu.  It is similar to Scribd, but the viewer is so much better.  The only thing it is missing is a bulk uploader.  Well I decided to try it out by uploading the Creative Commons licensed pdfs of Mur …

Straight from the mind of Mur Lafferty.  A video blog about a Third Waver and his experiences as he learns what his powers can do.  To learn more about unlikely heroes and their odd powers visit the Playing For Keeps website and subscribe to the podcast novel.

Podcast Novels

I have been deleting podcasts that I don't really need to listen to anymore off of iTunes so I would no longer be behind by 60 podcasts on my iPod.  That doesn't work to well with current event and tech news podcasts.  So I had finally trimmed it down to under 20 …

GTD apps for Mac.

I just got into the alpha for Things today.  It looks very nice, but I have already set up a bunch of stuff in OmniFocus.  I also recently downloaded Anxiety.  With the combined power of OmniFocus and Anxiety, Things will have to be pretty impressive to compete.  I know …
