Even though I regularly backup my iTunes library via rsync, it’s still backed up locally, to one of my Firewire hard drives. I considered backing up online, however, with a 140GB iTunes library, costs became prohibitive. Enter Bandwagon. Bandwagon will be offering unlimited backup space for $69/year introductory pricing, and $99/year for regular pricing. I’ve [...]

Anthony Bourdain guest blogs on Ruhlman.com with his feelings about the current state of the Food Network. He really sums it up well, and I agree on almost all of his points.

While my MBP is at the shop, I am going to use my Mac Mini for my full time machine. [...]

So, as I expected, I was a bit off with my Macworld predictions. I think I nailed AppleTV fairly well, getting the name and price pretty much dead on, and only slightly flubbing the networking and the date. I think it’s a nice looking device, but it does have a few things that I’m not [...]
