Some people may have noticed that I had a forum that was hidden underneath the Contact Us navigation that didn’t seem to have much in it. Originally I was using it to show potential clients an integrated forum inside of WordPress. Now I’ve found another use for it and have moved it under the Home [...]

World of Warcraft and MacBook Pro
So my nephew installed World of Warcraft on my MacBook Pro to test how fast WOW would run, and we must say it is definitely phenomenal! Originally on the PowerBook I had, WOW ran quite laggy and the graphics were choppy and unexciting; essentially WOW worked on the PowerBook, it just wasn’t very satisfying to [...]
Parallels: WinXP inside Mac OS X
In other news…Parallels has released new beta software that will allow WinXP to run inside the Mac OS. While this may be seen as a copy of VirtualPC, that is not entirely the case because VirtualPC is emulation software, whereas Parallels’ is virtualization software. Virtualization utilizes “Intel’s ‘Virtualization Technology’ ? a feature built into the [...]

Project: ABC v3
In the next coming weeks I’ll be starting (again) and hopefully finishing more (finally) of a project that was started more than two years ago. Some of you may remember it from my days on Acura-CL.com (now AcuraZine) as abunchofcars.com (ABC).
The main purpose of the site is to create a nexus of Do-It-Yourself guides for [...]

There are still some errors on the site such as Gallery is not working, which EquaWeb will have fixed [...]
Windows XP on Mac?! Say what?!
It has been speculated for some time, even before the release, the possibility of running Windows XP on the Intel core processor Macs. Some of the Apple people I had spoke with had said this probably wouldn’t be possible because the Mac Intel processors were utilizing EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) and Win XP depends heavily [...]
Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML
I’m always in search of a good CSS and XHTML book. Despite how many books on web design that one can find on Amazon.com, Barns and Noble, and/or other popular book stores, it is hard to beat Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML by Elisabeth and Eric Freeman. This book is very easy to [...]
