Been running Snow Leopard since yesterday. As Apple promised, on the surface, you can’t really tell that anything is different. When you click on the dock, you notice the popup is different. You notice the stacks are different when you click on them. You notice the 20Gb (Yes, GB!) of space [...]
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple days, as plastered all over Twitter and every computer related gadget site, Snow Leopard, the next release of OSX is coming out on Friday.This release is mostly enhancements to the Leopard operating system, not really any new “features” per say (even though there [...]
The Calendar
The essential part of any productivity system is the calendar. Managing your time for your projects is probably one of the most vital portions to getting anything done. Without disruptions, without the cruft of the day, you can focus on your problem.

Yes, it’s at my other domain. www.finshake.com. The Snort Drinking Game is here. I’ll post a link on the right hand side.
