Photo Zeitgeist
The number of available gigabytes on my Mac keeps dwindling thanks to how easy it is to process photos on a Mac. I had to spring for an external NAS (1 terabyte mirrored RAID), but I still hover around 20gb on my main machine.

Anyway, here are some highlights from the past three months.

I Heart iPhoto
I invested in a Canon XSi in early January. The investment has proven productive, as I have already snapped as many photos in two months as I did all of 2009. I have been using iPhoto more intensely too. It may be time to make the switch to Aperture soon.

Here are some of the results.
I volunteer two hours a week at a local no-kill cat…

Urban Exploration - Another Hobby I'm Passionate About
I love Macs. You love Macs. Everyone here at the RMC website loves Macs as a hobby.
One of my other favorite hobbies is Urban Exploration... or Urbex for short. If you aren't familiar with the activity it can best be described as such. The infiltration of abandoned buildings.

As the months ticked by I started applying to anywhere with an opening - US Cellular, Verizon, Veritas Security and other chain stores. Not a single one of them ever called back.
Three weeks ago I was invited to a barbeque and met an individual who manages the computer technology on UW Whitewater's campus. We got to… Continue

IIgs Remote Boot - Success!
Last week I managed to get a copy of AppleShare Server 3.0. This version has the ability to remote boot an Apple IIgs or IIe with a Workstation Card. I installed it onto my Macintosh Classic with 4mb of RAM running System 7.0.1.
The install process was not entirely smooth. The server software installed without a hitch. The included "Apple II Setup" v2.2 disk did not want to play nice. Luckily Apple has version 3.0 on their Older… Continue

Who needs friends when you have a Macintosh?
