Today, I have decided that it would not be a good idea at all to renew my MobileMe account. I got it last year in August and after using MobileMe for about a year, I guess I just can’t see any logical reason to continue using it for my normal e-mail purposes. I am transferring all my e-mail over to my mail account over here on MediaTemple and I am just going to let my MobileMe account expire.

Today, I tried to check my e-mail, but oh so sadly, my inbox is not popping up. I wonder what is going on over on Apple’s servers which could cause such an issue?

Hopefully, it wasn’t the hard drive, because I have 3 years of music on that hard drive and I don’t want to lose it! But regardless, I plan to start blogging about the name change and the crap that I had t
I have a certain set of tools that I actively use to post to my blog. While it can be posted to when I am at any computer, I use the following hardware most of the time when I am writing on my blog. As a former tech-obssessed geek, I have a tech preference for certain brands as I have had experience with cheap crap. Dell, Lexmark and other craptacular brands like that are obviously low quality and I would never purchase them. However, Apple and Pentax are brands that I trust, because they have never broken down through reasons that could not be blamed on me. However, these things of mine fall apart thanks to being in my possession. Continue reading ‘What I use to author this blog’
