    I made an earlier post about what if Small Dog existed in the Marvel comics universe. A reader of the blog, Richard B, sent in a great follow-up, which deserved to be posted: I don’t see how you could pass up the obvious potential in the name “Captain Amenta”—has a certain ring to it, no?…

    Ever wonder what we do for fun in the office? Although stunts like these rarely occur, we were able to capture Hapy having a silly moment today. (You’ll need QuickTime and JavaScript enabled to watch the video.)

    Small Dog has recently started carrying comic books on CD-ROM and DVD. So far, only Marvel titles are available. This software has been very popular. The origins of the major characters, such as Spider Man, Captain America, the Silver Surfer and Iron Man are really entertaining. I decided to see if I could describe Small…

    This morning as I was leaving to drive to work, I was no more than 200 feet from my driveway when I saw something to the right. My first thought was “My goodness, that’s a big dog. Maybe it’s a Great Dane or Wolfhound?”. As I got closer I realized it was a moose! My…

    Rob Berkey and I will be spending the next few days at the ASMC Apple Specialist Conference in Chicago, Il. This is a meeting for about 200 Apple Specialists, various vendors, and Apple Inc. itself. Here’s what happened so far. We showed up as Apple vice-president John Brandon wrapped up a speech and question and…

    Have you seen any of the new Get Mac ads by Apple? Last night I saw the “Viruses” ad. I thought it was hysterical! I thought the play on Viruses was ingenious, especially since I just got over a very bad case of the influenza virus (the flu) about a week ago. Having worked on…

    To make this list the product either needs to be free, below $50 or be such an incredible value that it makes sense to mention. 1. Firefox IMHO this is the best browser available. I’m not alone as our web traffic over at PodJungle.com shows that about 40% of the visitors are using Firefox. What…

    I have been enamored with iWork since Keynote first came out. Keynote was so superior to Powerpoint, that I’ve stuck with it ever since I first used it in a presentation. I was in a group of 4 speakers (others all on Windows laptops running Powerpoint) and my presentation was so beautiful compared to the…

    Dawn recently introduced me to a cool little program you can download to work in iChat, called Chax. The following are the Chax features I use most: -One window with tabs for all open chat windows, and the person’s name in the tab changes color both when they are typing and when they have sent…

    Darn, I hate when Small Dog gets great deals on products that I want but certainly don’t need. For example, I have an iPod mini since they first came out. However, there’s a great value on a 20GB iPod which I want but don’t need. After all, I haven’t filled a 4GB mini yet! Then…
