Tiger World Premiere Recap

What an evening. I ended up volunteering at the Apple Store right here in Aventura. As part of the Apple team here in South Florida, I figured I would help our retail buddies out on this momentous evening. I’m not so sure they needed it, but the extra effort was appreciated.

kmbdn_v2

Version 2.0 of KissMyBrass.net will be launching very, very soon. With it comes a more clean, simplified design, better integration with my ever-popular podcast, more interactivity and other features I’m still working on.

Gone is the distinctive shark fin-like tail and the swept-back, elongated […]

IC Pain 4U: Txt Msgs n BlackBerry Thumb

I couldn’t determine if this should go under Humour or under Technology or if it even deserved a new category entirely. You decide.
I’m sure everyone out there is like me. You sit in front of a computer all day. And then it hits. A wrist twitch. And that inspires a “maybe I have Carpal Tunnel?” […]

Tiger Shipping?

AppleInsider and MacFixIt have reported users receiving their shipped copies of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger from various sources including MacMall and ClubMac. Missing (so far, at least) is any confirmation of the final build number of the OS.
