Whenever I touch someone else’s computer or talk to someone else about their mac, inevitably I say something like, oh, you don’t use _? And they often say something oh, I didn’t know about that, thanks! And then they say, have you tried _? and I say no, I should check that out.

So, I’m going to write a few posts about different mac apps I like and use, like growl and quicksilver, and then I’m going to show you how I use them together during my day like how I use those two with itunes to listen to music or do my taxes or make me toast. I’m all about leveraging technology to make my life easier. I’m going to tell you how I do it, and then you can tell me how you do it, and then we’ll all be happier. My mom will probably read them at least. She likes telling me I’m cool and not a nerd.

P.S. I’m only going to cover mac things. Three years ago I bought my first mac (I had ALWAYS used windoze before that) and I’ve never looked back, except for when I want to play warcraft II (and now there’s vmware for that). It just works best for me.
