CES 2012
Tuesday, January 17, 2012 / Apple Culture, Business, New Media, PowerMax Culture, Technology / 0 Comments
I just returned from a visit to CES in Las Vegas. As I wandered the halls of this enormous show, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like if it were turned into one big retail store. While one might say the internet is essentially that, there’s just no way for anyone to shop on the internet and see all this stuff. Read More »
It’s good to be thankful
Tuesday, December 6, 2011 / Business, PowerMax Culture, Technology / 0 Comments
Although Thanksgiving has come and gone, the idea of being thankful should never leave us. It’s good to be grateful for all those things we take for granted. For instance, since you’re reading this, you obviously have electricity, which is something to be grateful for. Not everyone in the world can say that. Read More »
Amazon is Starting to Piss Me Off

I don’t watch too many commercials nowadays. Part of this is due to the fact that I don’t watch all that much TV anymore. The rest of it is because I own a DVR, and tend to DVR everything and fast forward through all the commercials. I’m one of those guys that’s making life harder for all the companies who used to increase sales solely by advertising on TV. Read More »

10.7.1 is out
If you are one of the few who upgraded to Lion 10.7, Apple just issued the first, much-needed, update. It consists of the usual round of bug fixes and no visible changes. I installed it immediately, did the usual repair-permissions thing, and am using it now. Read More »
My Experience with Lion – Part 2
Monday, August 15, 2011 / App Store, OS, Software, Support, Technology, Uncategorized / 0 Comments
While I like some of the features, I do not like the changes to Spaces. It is now too easy to accidentally invoke a screen shift while difficult to drag items from one to another. I also find it increasingly obvious that this is not really ready for prime time and one should wait for 10.7.1, at the earliest. Read More »
My Experience with Lion – Part 1

Getting Ready for Lion
My original intention was to just forget about OS X Lion for a few months, letting others do Apple’s field testing for them. Then I realized I should go ahead and do it because I need to learn as much as possible, in preparation for those clients who will need help with it. But to give it a go, I had to do a lot of preparation. Read More »
Final Cut Pro X – What was Apple thinking?
Tuesday, July 5, 2011 / Adobe, App Store, Apple Culture, Software, Technology / 13 Comments
That’s a question a lot of video editing professionals are asking in regards to the latest edition of Final Cut Pro recently released by Apple. By completely re-thinking the idea as to how video editing is done and re-working Final Cut Pro from the ground up, Apple has managed to tick off or alienate a reasonably large percentage of the professional editing population.

Technology The Albatross
Thursday, January 14, 2010 / PowerMax Culture, Technology / 0 Comments
Technology has become an ever-present factor in our lives, and it’s not going anywhere. We’re surrounded by it at every corner and within almost every device we use. Even the cars we drive would stop in their tracks if the technology in them suddenly failed.
It wouldn’t be a stretch to say modern (or more appropriately current) society rests on the laurels of technology. We wage wars with technology. We feed our population with technology. We heal our sick with technology. And to the point, the idea of operating a business without technology is nearly unheard of. Read More »
When Too Much Technology Might Be A Bad Thing
Saturday, September 6, 2008 / Technology / 0 Comments
These are exciting times. It’s a time of dramatic changes: in the way we receive information (and how much we can access), the way we communicate, the way we purchase products, even the way we run our businesses.
Contemplating Technology
Friday, January 4, 2008 / Technology / 0 Comments
I often wonder how many of us really stand back and contemplate the world of technology. I’m sure some of us pretty much just accept whatever happens, while others delight in every new-fangled creation whether or not it really improves his or her life, and of course there are others that are pretty much suspicious of anything new. Those are all reactions… but how about contemplations?
There are many of us who can think back to the days before the internet… but notwithstanding the increasing number of young workers who have never known anything but, that’s actually getting harder and harder to do. Everything’s on the web. If an evil alien race approached our planet and needed to know everything possible about the human race before they attacked, all they’d have to do is steal a personal computer and start reading.
Do You Digg The New Media?
Friday, July 7, 2006 / New Media, Technology / 0 Comments
I became addicted to the news at a very young age. At 11 years old I remember salvaging every old black & white TV I could get my hands on. Then I set them up all in a row so that I could watch every channel at once. Later I dreamed of becoming a journalist myself, in either TV or print. One thing that is consistent between the gathering of both TV and print news is that news items are filtered through a few individuals who decide what will “make the news” that day. The beginning of the internet news age did not vary much from that old model, because just one or two people had editorial control over what news made it onto the news website.
