Mail.app’s data takes up too much space on my hard drive. I know why — I’m an email packrat. I have mail dating back to 1997 on my other computer, and a lot of that mail includes attachments, because I’m constantly sending them: drafts for articles, layout drafts, art sketches, random pictures of last night’s […]
Updated my Publication List for a few new releases, notably System Failure and Midway City.
Midway City from Spectrum Games & Z-Man Games is one of the projects I worked on this summer, and after an odd delay where it seemed to sit at the printers while they did rain dances or something else that was time consuming but had nothing to do with getting the book printed, it’s been […]
[Alternate Title: Fixing iChat when Video Breaks] The Setup: My Dual 2GHZ G5, Master, running OSX 10.4.2. Upon installing the latest point revisions of Quicktime and iTunes, iChat 3.1 is no longer able to use my iSight for video, even though the microphone on it works just fine. I can’t initiate video chats and nobody […]

It’s $19.99, and all proceeds [beyond expenses that have to go to LuLu for using their service] go to the Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina disaster relief. A PDF version is also available for $10.

If you’re interested in urban exploration — or think it may be useful for your Shadowrun campaign — […]
The Ennie nominations are now online. Very pleased to see Dreaming Cities [which I art directed] nominated for Best Interior Art, and it’s also good to see Authority and Ex Machina nominated for Best Cover Art, plus a best Production Values for Authority. Some other cool stuff I like was nominated, too — d20SRD.org for […]
Dear Apple, I don’t have time to install 10.4.2 today, but I would like to thank you in advance: If iChat is logged in to your AIM account in Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.4.1, logging in to the same account on a different computer disconnects the Tiger computer without warning—this update adds a preference […]
As a brief followup to my initial impressions on Tiger: They’ve added a dimensions field to the preview pane, which is something I wanted under 10.3. Unfortunately it doesn’t show the resolution of the image. I’ve messed around with how I invoke Dashboard — now I use the bottom-left corner as the “Active Corner”, combined […]
So, I finally got around to snagging Tiger last night. I made myself promise that I wouldn’t install it until after I cleaned my living room, and sure enough, two hours later I had a clean living room. I did an "Archive and Install", and an hour after putting the vacuum cleaner away, I was […]
