Tacky Shirt
So, I’m brainstorming ideas for a fun name for my new e-learning company, and I think, "Hey I’ve taken to wearing loud hawaiian shirts lately. How about… ummmm… TackyShirt!"
So, I type it in my browser, and lo and behold, there is already a tackyshirt.com, and in an astoundingly ironic coincidence, they are an e-learning company, dedicated to teaching folks about Mac OS X.
Figures.
Hey, at least I get bonus points for using the word "ironic" properly, right? Take that, Alanis!

Keyboard Love
MoreI’ve used many a Macintosh keyboard since 1986, but there’s maybe about four that I’ve really used with any regularity.

Saturn in Alignment with Paul Hogan
Well, looks like I’ve got a buyer for the Saturn (our friendly neighborhood Airborne Express-Man). He and his brother (who is, apparently, a Honda mechanic) hame by this afternoon, looked it over, took it for a spin around the parking lot, and said they’d be back for it tomorrow afternoon. And, now that I’ve spent the remainder of the day searching for (and finding!) the title for the little beast, looks like everything’s a go.
What will I be driving now, you ask? Well, I’m finally taking over the car I “inherited” from my great uncle late last year: a 1999 Subaru Legacy Outback. This one’s an automatic (the Saturn was a 5-speed manual), so even my wife can drive it! Huzzah!

bobcam returns!
I just found iChatUSBCam on VersionTracker, and downloaded it. In combination with my ol’ Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 and drivers from IOXperts, it works like a charm. Woot!If you’re looking for drivers for your USB webcam to use on Mac OS X, try the aforementioned IOXperts or MaCam drivers. Cheers!
