Growing up, I always had macs. From my first MacSE sporting the lightning-fast 8mhz 68000 processor to college when I had a Power Mac running a 200mhz PowerPC 603e processor, I was always a Mac person. Even after that last Power Mac died, when I was exclusively running PCs, I still considered myself a Mac addict while I secretly longed for the day that I would once again have a nice shiny new Mac. Well, several months ago I got a nice new iMac and I love it. Although not new to Mac OS X, I had never owned a computer that ran it, so its taken me a while to feel out what software I like and I have some recommendations. So, without further ado, here’s my top 5 list of freeware applications every Mac user should have:
Adium This is easily the absolute best chat client for Mac OS X. I’m way more fond of it than I was Trillian on my XP machines and I swore by Trillian. Adium supprts just about every chat platform ever right out of the “box”, with the exception of...

I don’t know if many people are really familiar with this term yet, but Net Neutrality is essentially the reason that the Internet is currently the free place that we know and love. To put it simply, net neutrality forbids your ISP from restricting what you access. They can’t say you can’t access a certain website or something similar just because they don’t like it or, worse off, that website didn’t pay them some sort of fee. All data gets an equal share with ne...

I just switched webhosts for both primakow.net and digitallywise.com . I’ve never actually done this before and I was quite nervous about doing it. Not as much for this site, because it is much smaller, but transferring Digitally Wise over scared the hell out of me. It has a 20mb+ database and about 60mb+ worth of files that needed to be transferred over. Thankfully, however, it went relatively smoothly, and my new host had live chat online while I was doing it to help me out the few t...

Does anyone else watch this show?
I have no idea when it actually airs live, but Jessie and I set up a DVR series recording for it so we get it each week and I gotta say, I love it. It’s intelligent, he has great guests, it’s on HBO so he can get away with way more than he would on standard cable or *gasp* network television, and best of all: it’s hillarious. In my completely unsubstantiated opinion, it’s the best political talkshow on television. Partly because its ...

Some cats bring you gifts of rats, or hairballs, or other various things that they are proud of and want to show off to their owner. My cat, however, just felt the need to bring me a live ladybug. She then left it, walked away, and looked for our reaction. Once satisfied that Jessie and I were happy with her present, she came back and preceeded to eat it.
Oh well, at least it wasn’t a mouse or rat.
