Church Sign Generator
Via CamcorderInfo.com, I learned about the Church Sign Generator. Choose one of three church signs, type your own text, and the site creates an image for you. Handy for inserting a custom establishing shot for your movie’s church scene. Or, you know, because it’s really neat to go make your own custom church sign!
WTF Mac Store
WTF Mac Store Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. I’ve been meaning to take a picture of this sign in the University district, but never had a camera with me… until today. It makes me giggle every time.
Ten video sharing services compared
Via CamcorderInfo, DV Guru has posted a comparison of ten video sharing services. The way these sites have exploded in popularity lately (or maybe it’s just media attention?) is a little surprising, though clearly its been building for months.
Boot Camp and Apple’s Intentions
My Seattle Times Practical Mac column from last week looks at Boot Camp as a news item, and jumps from there into why this doesn’t mean Apple is going to build Windows boxes or license Mac OS X to PC manufacturers. Okay, if Mac OS X is so wonderful, why not forget hardware and license ...
Grinder Malfunction
A piece of my Solis Maestro Plus grinder broke today, which means I can only grind very coarse coffee. No espresso at the Carlson household until it gets fixed! Quel horreur! (I’m mostly writing this to test an RSS thing. But still… no espresso!!)
Apple Just Saved Me $1000

I’m Quoted in the Wall Street Journal
Reporter Jim Carlton interviewed me and several other writers and laptop users for his article Secrets of the Tech-Savvy Traveler. Nothing can ruin a trip like losing all the files in a laptop or digital camera from a hard-drive crash. That’s why Mr. Carlson, the free-lance writer, took no chances on a recent safari to ...
Because It Makes Me Smile
Bob Ross Cult, celebrating artist Bob Ross, whose relentlessly positive television show not only amazed me with his painting ability, but often relaxed me with his soothing voice. He passed away in 1995, but you can still watch The Joy of Painting on dozens of public television stations.
Buzzaire – Metered Dose Caffeine Inhaler
It’s the solution to my deadline difficulties! ThinkGeek :: Buzzaire – Metered Dose Caffeine Inhaler. Buzzaire is, quite simply, a caffeine inhaler. One squeeze, one inhale, and you’ve just rushed 150mg of caffeine into your blood stream. Mints or drinks have to go through your digestive tract first before partying in your blood (or through ...
Real Security and Hard Facts
Here’s something way-too-long time coming: the Democratic party today unveiled Real Security, a full-on assault on the misconception that Democrats can’t handle America’s security. The Republicans are turning to this attack because they don’t have much left: under the Bush Administration and a Republican-led government, things have gone to shit. Security, emergency response, corruption, the ...
