    iSkin: Protecting the Products we Love started by brentspore
    I upgraded to Wordpress 2.6 and now I can’t login! started by brentspore
    Today I upgraded to Wordpress 2.6 cuz the admin pages kept bugging me to do so. There are many who have done the same and found one little freaky bug that at first seems somewhat daunting, I admit. Nevertheless, there is a quick and easy fix. Here’s what You need to do:1. Add this line [...]

    Cadie’s first 6 Months (in 30 mins or less) started by brentspore
    Yes! I’m a sucker for my kid but how cool is it to be able to upload a bunch of random pics and have them put together so well in 30 minutes or less?

    Dang! this is cool and what kid wouldn’t want their face plastered on the interwebs in this way? I uploaded, I bought [...]
    Question - iMovie 08 started by brentspore
    ” This is a great question, many of the iMovie purists think that iMovie 06HD was so much better, and that is not truly the case. iMovie 08 is much more different. … Making your own movies is always fun, and I find it interesting to go back to the movies I first made, and see the progress that I have made.

    So, I’m sitting here watching the (freaking amazing) closing cerimonies of the olympics in Beijing and I am reminded of another summer back in 1984. I thought I would share my experience. Travel back with me for a minute…It’s the summer of 1984, I live in eastern Washington, I’m 10 years old and I’m about [...]

    Donna B. writes:

    I’ve found that quite often when I “cut and paste” from a document on my Mac to say, a job-posting site, there always seem to be weird characters in the “target” document.

    What am I doing wrong?

    MobileMe Says I’m Sorry started by brentspore
    I just received an email from the folks at me.com. This is what it said:
    We have already made many improvements to MobileMe, but we still have many more to make. To recognize our users’ patience, we are giving every MobileMe subscriber as of today a free 60 day extension. This is in addition to the [...]
    Designing the New Ijustine Logo started by brentspore
    After many, many revisions and way too many months of delay. It is my pleasure to unveil a brand new logo for my friend Justine. This was a very difficult task, not just because it was for Justine, but more for the fact that I have such a major peeve with the “i” in front. [...]

    Since the appearance of MobileMe, there has been a lot of talk about synchronization and the various ways to keep important data in sync across multiple computers.  While I do subscribe to MobileMe, and despite its recent troubles, I have been very happy with it.  Although one thing it doesn’t do, and it’s a big [...]

    Uninstalling Apps, The Easy Way

    By: Wardy Miller

    One of the first questions that I get asked by new Mac users is “how do I delete unwanted programs?” The answer can be a little tricky. Most programs can be dragged to the trash can to be removed, because the Mac operating system has nothing like the windows [...]
