I'm struggling with a bit of the sleepiness this morning. Maybe because I took an allergy pill a couple of hours ago. Those things kind of put me out. Even the non-drowsy varieties. Especially the non-drowsy varieties. But the itchy scratchy eyes, the peppery nose, the sneezing at regular intervals . . . well, it finally got the best of me. And it was worth dealing with a bit of the sleepy to stop the madness. I don't know what it is that's wreaking havoc on my head, but man I want to shake it's hand for a job well done.

I've been waiting for Gmail to enable IMAP connectivity and it's finally here.

Oh Apple, my love for you is tainted with angst and self-loathing. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

The real entertainment in all of this has been the fact that Apple dropped the cost on the 8GB iPhone a whopping $200 from it's initial price in June of $599, which--it's worth pointing out--was just two months ago.

Previously, I had been complaining about keying wrong combinations after switching from the PC. Enter DoubleCommand.

I've noticed that PC users seem to go through five distinct stages of transformation when moving from their old PC to their new Mac. I thought I'd document those here, and in the process describe a few of my own personal switching pains.

Dear Apple: Why o why must you keep making things that are so damned cool?

I intended this post to be a somewhat thoughtful reflection on the past year, and possibly a statement of resolutions for the coming one. I also intended to post a photo album or two from the holidays. But this was last week - before The Fall. And what is it they say? Something about best-laid plans of mice and men? I'm surely one of those.

Of course, the day Apple becomes a corporate machine is probably the day they lose some of their 'cool.'
