These days it’s not at all out of the ordinary to come across a Mac in the Wall Street Journal, in fact yesterday’s issue had a color photo of Tiger on the front page of the Market section.
Well, a Mac is on the Market cover again, but this time it’s a PowerBook on display […]

Too much of a good thing: this week I won a iPod shuffle 512 as a door prize. I thought I’d let you have a shot at it before it hits eBay.
I’m looking for $90 + shipping ($3-5, priority insured). New, never opened. If you’re interested, contact me at brianburnham AT gmail DOT […]

Aside from the […]

As a career consultant (at OSU) that is what I remind desperate job-seekers who need a boost. Now, those words are ringing true for me. This week I received a job offer. It’s not the first offer I’ve received, but it is the first one I’d actually take.
I’m not going to name names here […]

There’s been a lot of chatter about what the shuffle does and does not do. Many of the assumptions out there are wrong. Here are a few (btw, I learned all this by reading the support pages).
The shuffle and audiobooks: 1. Yes, even the 512 is large enough to hold more than a few books. […]
