It’s a kinda magic…

So, here I am with my new Apple Magic Mouse, which replaced my wired Mighty Mouse (now just called Apple Mouse). It’s certainly different, especially if you consider my pre-Apple time was usually spent with a Razer Diamondback mouse that had 7...

Apple Certified Associate (x2)

d3bruts1d — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:21:33 +0000

On Sunday night, I passed my 2nd Apple Certified Associate certification test. This one was for iWork 09. A few weeks ago, I passed the test for iLife 09. While these certs aren’t a big deal, they did allow me to learn more about the Apple...

Stupid IT People

d3bruts1d — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 11:42:53 +0000

I’ve been in the IT world long enough to see some stupid stuff. A lot of really stupid stuff. I’ve done phone support, database administration, desktop support, and a bit of programming. IT really isn’t that hard, and some common...

If you’ve spent any time reading through my blog or profiles at Twitter or Facebook, you’ll know that I’ve become quite fond of my Mac and OS X. On September 27, 2008 one day before OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard” was...

One year with a Mac

d3bruts1d — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 12:39:07 +0000

It’s funny, I use to be a “PC Guy” and hated console gaming and Mac. Now if you asked me, I’d consider myself a “Mac Guy” and 99% of the gaming I do is on a console. My, how times have changed. A year ago next...

Puppies!

Sometime between 11 pm on July 23 and 6 am on July 24, Farrah and I became grandparents. Vienna had three puppies, which she delivered all by her self. I’m sitting in the living room watching TV and I hear squeaking coming from the dogs area...

Gridiron Burgers is still dead

d3bruts1d — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:40:11 +0000

Back at the end of April, I wrote that I was upset to see Gridiron Burgers had closed its doors. It was bitter sweet, as a Red Robbin had just opened up down the street from one of the former Gridiron locations. While Red Robin is good, it was my...

Standing in line

Today was the release of the iPhone 3G S. If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I stood in line for a good while out at the Apple Store in West Town Mall. While standing around and tweeting, I got a message from Victor @ TUAW. He just happened...

Hiking Trip

Thursday, June 11, 2009 Farrah and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. To celibate, we decided to go hiking/camping up around Cades Cove. We had fun, but things didn’t go quite as planned. That same weekend was the 75th anniversary of...

Where the heck am I?

d3bruts1d — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 22:58:50 +0000

A few weekends ago was Farrah’s 2nd hiking adventure in the Smoky Mountain’s National Park. She may have been hiking/camping with a friend, but she wasn’t the only one that got to go on an adventure. I dropped the two women off...
