Downloading TV Shows – Network Sharing Goodness
While I haven't come up with the end-all-be-all solution, I've eased the process and expanded the reach.
Downloading TV Shows – There Has to Be an Easier Way
When it comes to watching television shows, a lot has changed over the years. For the most part, we’ve had a way of recording shows and watching them later. For a long time, a VCR was our best bet. Now we have PVRs, on demand channels, digital distribution services, and more manual avenues like downloading […]
Tidy up Your Blu-ray Movies in Delicious Library 2
I managed to get in on the Delicious Library 2 beta a few months prior to launch. After filing a bug report I was handed an invite, and was quite pleased to accept. During my time with the beta, I struggled with having my media displayed using the appropriate jewel cases. Some of the preview […]
Taming Mail and Bulletproof Backups
About a month ago, I went on a productivity binge. I knew there was room to improve my workflow, so I began evaluating the tools I use and how I was using them. At the same time, I stepped back from my 24″ screen and had a good look at my iMac. It’s been just […]
Branching Out, While Reaching Out
It’s been a couple years now, since the CSS Reboot that lead to the internets knowing who the heck “Matt Brett” is. I’ve done a lot in that time. Produced dozens of ramblings about video games, and life in general. Made a name for myself as a decent designer. Launched a couple of projects that […]
How-To: Capture Xbox 360 Video Footage on an iMac
The most frequently asked question I’ve received over the past 9 months is, “How do you capture Xbox 360 footage on your iMac?” With 2-5 emails or Flickr messages coming in per week, I figured it was time to publish a How-To article. It’s really not an easy or obvious process, which is why it’s […]
HD DVD is Dead, The Wii Still Sucks and I’m a Lousy Freelancer
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything new! The dust on my blog almost matches that of my Wii, almost. There’s been a lot going on and I’ve missed several opportunities to talk about current issues that are now ancient history. As I was going through my feed reader this evening, a few […]
The Power of Twitter
I’ve seen a ton of chatter over the past few months about Twitter and the majority of it is of the WTF variety. Believe me, I was there too! For the longest time, I really didn’t see the point of getting updates as people go through their daily routines. But after much sitting a-top the […]
Wicked Fast App Switching in OS X with Logitech’s MX Revolution
Being a Windows user for so many years, one of the things about OS X that always bothered me was all the floating windows all over the desktop. For the most part in Windows, you run applications “maximized” and therefore, you hardly ever see the desktop. In OS X, you can always see the desktop. […]
A Little Help From A Small Orange
It's no secret that Media Temple's new Grid-Server hasn't been anything less than a total nightmare for all using it. I posted numerous screenshots from time-to-time when my site would go down. If I had done that for every time it was offline, I probably would have run out of storage space on my Flickr account. :P In all seriousness, though... how long are people going to stick it out? As happy as I am with A Small Orange, I still have a couple others sites on my (mt) account and therefore still feeling the pain. I've simply been too busy lately to bother moving them all over, but I'm going to have to soon as it's taking its toll on my sanity.
