Migrated From MobileMe to iCloud

I made the jump yesterday to update my 4 Macs and my iPad to use iCloud/iOS5 instead of MobileMe. While I have liked MobileMe and found it very useful – I look forward to what iCloud will offer. I often delay in updating my blog and/or my kids’ blogs because the photo is on a […]

iTunes Screensaver in Mac OS X

I generally use the Cosmos screensaver but I recently decided to check out some of the other options. I really thought the iTunes screensaver looked cool – as it shows all your cover art.

Land Rover’s New Concept Car: DC 100

Yesterday I got an email highlighting Land Rover’s latest concept car – the DC 100. I love to see new concept cars so I was excited to see what they would show us. I am still on the fence about this concept but I need to let it simmer. Overall – I really like what […]

Business

Big Small Big

I work with a number of clients that range in size and have noticed something interesting (at least to me). The bigger companies tend to have more resources, take a longer time to produce something, but in the end put out a high quality product. A lot of people inside of the big business (with […]
