There are plenty of uses for rooSwitch that I will never think of. That’s why I love finding blog posts from users explaining how they’re using rooSwitch. What’s better than a blog post? A screencast! Earlier this week, I found a user generated screencast showing off rooSwitch managing multiple profiles for Final Cut Pro. I [...]

Tonight was Apple’s annual design award’s ceremony. rooSwitch took runner-up in the Developer Tool category! I’m obviously pretty excited about this and am glad I made it to WWDC this year. It’s really awesome to have something I made be recognized by Apple. On with the thanks. I’ll start by thanking my wife and our [...]

In less than 3 hours I’m hopping on a Southwest flight from Boise to Oakland. I land in Oakland at 8:05 and will be greeted by my father-in-law (thanks!) who will drive me to Moscone to get my badge and queue up for the Keynote. In-laws in the SF area are very helpful when you’re [...]

I finally dropped .mac. When I was using an iMac and a MacBook, the iDisk and syncing were handy. Now that I just use one MacBook Pro, it wasn’t a justifiable expense. If you, like me, were curious what’d happen to my username and other account info, here ’tis: About your expired account status You [...]

update 2006.09.05: SOLD! I’m trading in my PowerBook for a bottom of the barrel white MacBook (I plan to add a 7200 RPM drive and 2GB of RAM sometime after purchase). If you need a PowerPC laptop, give mine a gander over @ eBay: 15″ PowerBook 1.67 Ghz 80GB 1.5GB SuperDrive Airport If you “buy [...]

I’ve had two batteries for my PowerBook for about three weeks now. Every time I went to switch out the dead battery for the charged one I would fumble around for something to release the old battery with (nickels and quarters work well. In a pinch, a credit card works too). Just a few minutes [...]

My iMac sits in my bedroom. There are certain rules: 1) always mute it 2) don’t use the CD-ROM (it’s quieter than my PowerBook, but still annoying) 3) don’t update it’s firmware (this one is new – learned minutes ago) I just snagged the firmware update and did the install. If your Intel based Mac [...]

Last we heard, my fourth iPod was on its way. Well, that one has been replaced and now number 5 is here. What happened to number 4? Things were looking good. I received it on a Saturday morning and it still had some charge in it. I plugged it in, synced it and let it [...]

I both mirror my drive with SuperDuper! and I backup some miscellaneous stuff using Apple’s Backup. One of the miscellaneous things I backup with Backup is my address book. I also sync my address book with .mac such that my PowerBook, my iMac and my mini for work all have the things I need right [...]

On January 30th I purchased a video iPod. Since then, I’ve held three different video iPods, each were considered “mine”. Each of these were enjoyable for about one day. At the end of that enjoyable day I realized the battery life was horrible. As soon as I notice and come to terms with the poor [...]
