As I noted several weeks ago, one of my FireWire 800 (1394B) hard drive enclosures died. So, I sent it back to the manufacturer, and last week I received an invoice to inform me they were sending me a replacement enclosure. Awesome… now I just had to wait for FedEx ground shipping. The package arrived…

Blast from the past
Today found me de-junking my office. I guess it’s the absolutely gorgeous day we’re having in Salt Lake… it’s tricked my mind into thinking it’s spring again. I blame my mother’s genes… she’s a chronic organizational freak. She’s a devoted viewer of Clean Sweep on TLC. She constantly pulls everything out of a room, re-organizes…
Truly Awful Movies are Great
This is actually just a post to test out NetNewsWire‘s built-in weblog editor. But, yeah, I just finished watching the amazingly inane “Escape from L.A.” on the television. It’s my last day before classes start up for the autumn semester, so I’m just being lazy. But watching Kurt Russell run around a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles,…
It runs in the family
In today’s mail delivery, alongside a CD I had shipped from Australia (the Australian Tour Edition of Sumday by Grandaddy), a renewal notice for my MacWorld subscription, and a copy of O Magazine (I swear, it’s not mine), I received something of a proof that I am not the only “different” one in my family:…
When “Ridiculously Simple” backfires
A few days ago, I ordered a nice new firewire 800 card for my G5. The G5 comes with one Firewire 800 port, and two Firewire 400 ports (one on the front, one on the back). For most average users, that’s probably enough. However, I am not your average user. I have had two external…
Hi, my name is Greg, and I’m an Apple addict.
There is a certain overpowering aspect of my addiction, which I guess is true with all addictions. There is a niggling thought in the back of my head at all times. “You need it. You need it now!” the thought whispers so seductively to the innermost reaches of my subconscious. I find myself spending more…
Bidness
I talk to my business partner probably every other day. Invariably, there is something new I need to start work on (seeing as I’m the entire art dept., it’s my responsibility to create all mockups before we actually land the deal). And, invariably, there is talk of a bunch of new clients that look to…
Reading List
I’ve been reading a lot more recently than I had in the past, well… ever. Well, perhaps reading is a strong word. I have an account at Audible, and I USE IT… a lot. They recently had a crazy sale where everything was 10 bucks. Even the $60 audio books. Nutty. So I stocked up.…
Camping
I took the opportunity to go camping at Mirror Lake with my brother & his girlfriend this past Friday. Mirror Lake is a beautiful place, but it helped me realize something about camping. I’m an Eagle Scout and I really love nature… but I don’t function properly without a decent sleep, a shower and a…
“I’m sooo blogging this…”
Whee. I’m listed on webdesignersutah.com. Guess I ought to get my portfolio and etc pages up and running. That shall be this weekend (I hope). Oh, and I saw Gaza (Jon of Day of Less, Casey of… hell, I can’t remember, but he’s been a few bands, and some other guys I don’t personally know)…
