This sounds totally crazy, but nearly five years ago I wrote a little AppleScript that allowed me preview an entire album on iTunes. I don't know the Apple Store didn't have this functionality from day one, but they didn't. Well, they've finally seen the light of day and created this in …

I've been following Michael Arrington's Crunchpad for the last several months thinking the device would be perfect for "couch browsing." This is the term I use when describing how I often will sit in front my TV watching a show I'm only halfway interested in while I read news in Google …

I've done well to get each of these caching blog posts written the night before they were "due" and have them scheduled for an 8:00am release. Not today. Last night I was incredibly tired and decided to wait until today to get this one out. Here it is after 9:00pm and I'm just now …
