The day after thanksgiving I picked up a Brother HL-2140 Laser Printer at Office Depot for $50. The deal was too good to pass up. I was tired of refilling ink cartridges and the hassle of an inkjet.
When we got back to St. Louis I moved one of our inkjets out of the way and [...]

I love my books. I almost always have a book with me. Right now I have three books that I’m in the process of reading. I also love technology. Combine both technology and books and you’d think that I’d be a happy man right? Not entirely.
I have previous experience with e-books. In fact, I own [...]

Couple of things upfront:

From my past [...]

Podcasts are what I primarily listen to in the office or when I’m working around the house. I’ve blogged about this before but I wanted to update my list. I’ve deleted the Harry Potter podcasts. I wish I had the time to listen to them, but they were just taking up space in my library. [...]

One of the key features of Mac OS X is the finder. As you use the OS your life pretty much revolves around the finder. It provides you with folder and program access and you can do many things through the finder (deleting files, creating smart folders, etc). As much as I love the OS [...]

Okay… so it is a little past the 1st of the year… but here are some tech resolutions from Macworld.com that are worthy of consideration. Some are mac specific, but most should have an alternative that works in the windows world.
I resolve to back up my data. Regularly. Thoroughly.
Done… I have at least two forms [...]

Ever wonder what a seminarian listens to on his iPod?
Here is your chance to find out!
I actually use my iPod for a number of things. I do watch movies and tv shows on it occasionally, especially on trips. I wasn’t sure if I would like the small screen, but I’m sold on it now. I [...]

Some time ago I was in the market for a computer program and I happened upon Small Dog Electronics out of Vermont. They had a great deal on what I was looking for and I went ahead and placed my order. In conversation with one of the full-time library staff members I was told to check [...]

With the advent of digital cameras came the big issue of photo management. I currently use iPhoto 08 to organize my photos (between two libraries I have around 13,000 photos). It does an awesome job of organizing by date and by event. However, I’m currently looking for a way to organize family photographs. I’m thinking Aperture from Apple [...]
