Snow Leopard Tops Amazon Chart













As of this afternoon, Snow Leopard ($29) and the Snow Leopard Family Pack ($49) were ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, on Amazon's software sales chart.

This is going to be an exciting upgrade!

This is one of the funniest videos that I have ever seen! :-)

New 'Get A Mac' Ads













I saw this new 'Get A Mac' ad last evening. It is absolutely hilarious. This 'top-of-the-line' PC comes on rather strong. When she asks about viruses his response is 'come back when you are ready to compromise.' Brilliant!

Check out the new ads over at Apple.

VisibleDust Is Amazing!






I have been using a VisibleDust Artic Butterfly and Zeeion blower for some time but have been reluctant to actually physically apply cleaning liquid to a DSLR sensor. That time is past.

Today I received a Sensor Loop, V-swabs, and various cleaning liquids. I have to tell you, I wish that I had bought these supplies a long time ago.

Before buying the sensor loop, I had to take a photo of the sky, load it onto the computer, then determine if there was anything on my sensor. If there was dust on the sensor, I would blow the sensor off and start the process all over. This was hit or miss and very very time consuming.

With the sensor loop, you just shine the light on the sensor and determine the next step. You would not believe all of the crap that was on the sensor. Grease, dust, and some unknown substance. Using the V-swabs and the appropriate fluid, I cleaned the sensor better than new in less than five minutes. This stuff is amazing.

Now the downside. Visible Dust products are not cheap. That said, I will never be without them again!

Snow Leopard Released















Apple released Snow Leopard today. The long anticipated successor to Leopard was actually released a month early. Imagine a company that can release a major OS upgrade early that actually works.

This is vastly different from the Vista release that was over a year late and was arguably a "bag of hurt!" :-)

Cash For Clunkers A Rip-Off














It turns out that the 'Cash for Clunkers' program may be a rip-off. My local Porsche dealer had no interest in my above trade-in :-)

My JH Audio Monitors Arrive















My JH Audio in-ear monitors arrived. I have been using these for a couple of weeks and they are absolutely amazing! Jerry Harvey of JH Audio was kind enough to make these for me.

Jerry's nickname is 'Sound Guru to the Gods." By Gods they mean Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen, and the list goes on.

If you are looking for the perfect earphones, look no further!
