GrowlMail for 10.7
I have been using Growl for years now and love the simple notifications. I can work GrowlMail was by far the most useful Growl plugin as it gives a quick n. When Apple released 10.7 – the old version of GrowlMail no longer worked. I was lost – but finally I found an update that […]

This is Not Google
I just got a call from an automated service (I did not stay on long enough to hear all of it) that said: “This is an important call for the business owner. This is not Google…” I figured when they said “This is not Google” they really meant to say “this is a scam to […]

Clear Safari 5.1 Cache
When working on projects – I generally need to refresh pages multiple times (to see CSS changes, etc). I generally work with my browser’s cache disabled (Develop Menu > Disable Caches in Safari) but I noticed that simply pressing the return button on a page/site in Safari 5.1 did not work.

214 Simmons (Penn State) Offspring
On our travels east – we stopped over at my freshman and sophomore college roommate’s house. We snapped a photo of all our kids before we left. It is just hard to believe we are all (my roommate and I) grown up and are raising potential Penn Staters!
