    Should Apple sue Buymusic.com

    I'm far from an Apple apologist, but I was quite irritated when I saw BMDC's commercial. That's just ridiculous. I could see it working as a parody if they threw in a clever lil' anti-iTunes hook, but no, nothing. Just a blatant copy. :/

    where to begin with PHP

    I learned the basics of php from this WebMonkey article, and then I picked up Peachpit Press's Visual Quickstart Guide. I'm no PHP guru, but I can do everything I want to do with it. Oh, and never underestimate the awesome power of a PHP.net search. It's a fantastic reference, but it...

    So When Is Enough Enought Frames Per Second Anyway!!!!

    I, for one, will not be satisfied until my computer pre-cognitively renders my games' scenes before they happen.

    Computer Stupidities

    I really think there should be some kind of training program that you'd have to go through before you could operate a computer. Kinda like having a driver's license. It's sad that I'm serious.

    How do you change the newsreader and ftp apps?

    You can edit the URL helpers in Internet Explorer's preferences, or you can use a preference pane called More Internet, or you can use and app called Vince. I prefer More Internet.

    OSX FTP problems

    It is because the Finder's FTP implementation sucks. Hard. Really a shame, since this exactly the feature I've been looking for since System 7. I feel violated. Until the Finder is fixed, I use Transmit. http://www.panic.com/transmit

    article: is your Mac fast enough?

    I still have no idea how things that used to install from a single floppy now spread themselves across three CDs... :(

    Episode 1: A new threat

    I think Wesley Willis should do the soundtrack for this. The jedi cut the bad guys like a turkey sandwich. There was blood everywhere. The jedi roared like a lion. He cut some more bad guys.

    which app for compressing mp3s?

    I'm a fan of LAME and a custom perl script, but iTunes is easier. :) Just set the Import preferences to whatever you want to encode the files to. Then add the files to a playlist, select them, and hit "Convert Selection To MP3" from the Advanced menu. Keep in mind that creating MP3s from...

    Episode 1: A new threat

    Daaamn, those are some INTENSE fight scenes...?! And Abuse was a truly fabulous game. Does something similar exist for OS X?

    buy.com woes

    At first I thought everyone was whining that because someone produced a similar service to Apple's, it was a rip off. Then I saw the commercial. Serves the bastards right.

    Command+tab more intelligent?

    Space is solid gold. I very rarely actually use it, but when I'm doing hardcore web site work and I've got Safari, Hydra, and Photoshop open, each with about a thousand windows, Space rocks my world.

    OSX Themes - replace Aqua

    Couldn't lacks of translucency in menus and anti-aliasing in window corners have an effect on rendering time? Especially on a G3? I dunno. Placebos are cool too...

    Modifying Contextual menus (Safari)

    I've been using command-[ and command-] forever, but lately I've been slipping and hitting command-P, which is just annoying. I shall henceforth reprogram myself to use command-(arrows). :)

    iPod clone, iRiver

    Finally, an MP3 player that uses a thumbstick for navigation. I've always found my iPod's scrollwheel quite counter-intuitive. If only it weren't so uuugly. :/

    OSX Themes - replace Aqua

    BBX Mercury is a fabulous theme (and scheme!) indeed. I wish it were grayscale though. That's why I still used Brushed. :( Anyone know the fate of William Bart, the theme's designer? http://www.bbxstudio.com/ hasn't been updated in ages, and neither has http://www.mmicons.com/ , which in...

    Brushed metal initiative

    Kaleidoscope offered much more than simply new graphics over the Platinum layout. http://kaleidoscope.net/schemes/schemespotlight.shtml Pretty! (well, some of 'em.) :)

    Apple iDeas

    I'm curious, why should the iPod take pictures? It's an MP3 player, and it would make a shitty camera. And I'm honestly confused as to why there is space for my contacts and calendar.
