Boy do I watch a lot of TV. Yet surprisingly not much is actually on the TV. I’m a big fan of lots of the American dramas, and have watched Dawson’s Creek, The OC, Gilmore Girls, and others come and go. But I always like this time of year, because all the new seasons start. [...]
As you may have read last year, I got a new Macbook Pro. With it came 2GB RAM, and a 120GB hard drive.
Needless to say, that space quickly got used up, and I started spending a lot of time deleting iTunes content, and backing up stuff to DVD’s and my MyBook. I played with the [...]

Well, after a recent visit to the Apple Store in Birmingham, I made a choice, one which cost me £40! I bought an Elgato EyeTV DTT [...]
So you may have heard a few weeks ago that the Address Book in Leopard now syncs with Gmail contacts. I heard this and thought GREAT! I can keep it all together, up to date with gmail, and have a handy backup.
After firing up Address Book I got it all in sync, and as expected, [...]
I’m an Apple fan. Thats no secret. I like the products, I like the design, the interfaces, the simplicity and yet ability to be powerfully complex. I like the whole shebang (sp?). I also liked the new “Get A Mac” adverts they started a while ago.
My problem with these, however, is only a recent event. [...]
