Good news for any PM who’s also a Mac person in a sea of Windows users. The Omni Group’s OmniPlan is in beta, with an expected price tag of US$149. The best part of all (other than being a sweet-looking Mac app, of course): OmniPlan can open and save Microsoft Project files natively That should […]

This week I’m exploring del.icio.us. If you’re a user and have some tips, feel free to drop ’em in comments here.
Xbox 360 at 170 MPH
Along with playing with my friends in sci-fi and otherwise impossible scenarios [Halo 2, Chromehounds], much of my enjoyment in playing video games comes from doing things that I’ll never have the skill, guts or money to do in reality. Driving a Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT at 150+ mph through the streets of New York City […]
Recommended Weekend Reading
Start with a pint or so of John D. MacDonald‘s Travis McGee, mix in a quarter-cup of Clive Cussler‘s Dirk Pitt and you just might end up with a refreshing drink of Doc Ford. Well, you or I might not, but thankfully Randy Wayne White did. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t some cheap MacDonald […]

When minimized into Tabs it acts quite menu-like, albeit with more graphical elements […]

I just went to Google Maps though, and something odd’s happening there. I’d copied an address from another window, and every time I try to paste […]
Hydrate or Die
People have been carrying and drinking water for how long now? Like, forever right? For Mike and others who may be interested, I point you to Daniel’s tale of water bottles. I’ve been a long-time user and fan of Nalgene bottles, though I’ve never tried to put one on a bike. They’re practically indestructible and […]
The Musicians of Summer
Summer break’s over for these guys and gals, who are already working hard preparing for the fall season of halftime shows and competitions. Practice started for the drumline and color guard last week, with sessions from 9am through 9pm. The full band arrived this week, and they all have practice right up until the first […]
Eighteen
