News, Rant: March 28th, 2008I know it’s always hectic for me around here - but I wanted to post to let everyone know I’m still around.

News, Rant: May 9th, 2008Parallels is a virtualization app that lets you run other OSes in a self-contained bubble. I purchased my copy of Parallels, along with a slew of other software, via the recently-expired MacUpdate promo.

News, Rant: June 19th, 2008I’m in the midst of backing up all my Macbook Pro’s data as I write this.
