Handy Dandy Mac Convert Guide

So, I converted to a Mac for my notebook about 6 months ago. I still run Ubuntu on my desktop/server. While I have come to love Mac, I must admit that apparently Apple uses completely different terminology than the rest of the industry. For new Mac converts, or those looking to understand things, here is a list of terms that Apples thinks differently about.

Display (\di-ˈsplā\) - This is the fancy dancy Apple term for a "Monitor". Not sure why they wouldn't use the term monitor since it's been… Continue

My Hamster Grows Things In Her Tank

So, I've been running a video game blog for over a year now. I've never really done the whole personal blogging thing. Then I signed up for this site tonight and witnessed one of the strangest things I've ever seen. I own a small orange hamster. I am 25 and live with a roommate, I work a lot, so a hamster was what I went with. On Tuesday I was going to clean her bedding since it had gotten rank, but she jumped out of my hands. I grabbed her, she freaked, she bit me super deep. I hadn't had a tet… Continue

Thanks,

I was thinking that perhaps a nice edge would be that the technology is being viewed from a newer generation that those on TWiT.

This angle might be a hard sell without sounding cocky or weird. I'm still struggling with the concept. I think a good edge is what will put us over the top and allow us to grow.

I guess I'm using this comment as more of a way to brainstorm than to thank you for the feedback. So again thanks for the feedback!!

At 3:23pm on December 21, 2008, Cowhelmet said…: So i've done an overhaul on the site. You should stop by and check it out. Got rid of the quick time player. Got feedburner up and running. Also put up a fourm. Now I just have to figure out how to get people to actually listen to the podcast. We'll see....

At 8:21am on December 15, 2008, Cowhelmet said…: I completely agree. I just put the site up last night and am not even close to getting things ironed out. I will check out that player and get back to you. Thanks for the advice!!
