Wacom Intuos4 – The Mouse

mac,wacom,pen tablet,intuos4 The mouse for the Intuos4 tablet has the same black tones as the tablet itself. It’s a little small in the hand but otherwise it feels fine. The mouse supports five different "clicks" – normal left and right, one above the track wheel and one below the track wheel, and the track wheel [...]

Wacom Intuos4 – The Pen

mac,wacom,pen tablet,intuos4 I had to give it a couple of weeks to let the newness wear off my Intuos4 tablet. Enough waiting. I love it! This baby gets an official 5-out-of-5 stars! I haven’t been this jazzed about a piece of hardware since I got an iPhone! As I mentioned in my first post, I [...]

Wacom Intuos4 Pen Tablet

mac,wacom,pen tablet,intuos4 I’ve had a Wacom graphire Bluetooth pen tablet since I bought my PowerBook G4 back in 2005. I must confess though, I used the mouse more than I ever used the pen. A big part of it was my essential tremor. The shaking in my hands makes it difficult to control the pen [...]

Identifying iPod Models

which ipod are you I came across a neat post on the Apple support database for identifying the umpty different models of iPods the company has produced over the years. You can click here or go to Apple.com > Support > Search Support: HT1353. They’ve got pictures and stats all the way back to the [...]

Image Size in Contribute CS4

cs4,contribute cs4,adobe Two things that annoy me about the new Contribute CS4. The first is the lack of a "category" list similar to what they had in CS3. I know I can fix it by hand via the WordPress Site Admin but that takes time.  And after all, I’m using Contribute CS4 to make life [...]

CS4 Screensavers, Wallpapers, and Icons

cs4,adobe,creative suite,goodies Terry White was kind enough to (again) post wallpapers and a screensaver for Adobe Creative Suite 4. (Visit here to get the files.) Several people commented that the images were…under-whelming…shall we say. Even John Nack from Adobe mentioned it in his blog. I kind of like them, especially the screensaver. After the "glitz" [...]

Inquisitor for iPhone and iPod Touch

iphone,ipod touch,inquisitor,safari If you’ve used a Mac for very long, you have probably discovered the joys of Inquistor – a Safari plug in that starts finding results as you type letters into the search box. And it does a remarkable job. Now they have one as a stand-alone app for the iPhone / iPod touch. [...]

First Post with Contribute CS4

cs4 This is the first official post using Contribute CS4. I must say this time around ordering CS4 was fairly painless. That may because I waited several months to take the plunge. When I ordered CS3 it was right when it came out so I was competing with hundreds (thousands?) of other people. Adobe lost [...]

iTunes 8.1

Along with Apple’s new third gen iPod Shuffle is iTunes 8.1 and Front Row 2.1.7. Most of the improvements are speed related and enhancements to Genius – as in Genius for movies and TV shows.

Do It for the Children…

social commentary,technology,stupid politicians Usually I’m immune to the stupid antics of politicians. They can’t help it. Most are lawyers so that’s two strikes against them. But this is just ridiculous. I read the story on CNN.com: Bill proposes ISPs, Wi-Fi keep logs for police. The opening paragraph reads "Republican politicians on Thursday called for a [...]
