I have to confess - I love that sites like Flickr and programs like iPhoto allow me to preserve the locations where photos were taken (aka geotagging).
I had been using several hacks to geotag photos in iPhoto because my Nikon doesn't support GPS locations. But… the days of sniffing the dirt are over.
Say hello [...]

With the rise of geotagging on photo sharing sites like Flickr and Locr and the new Map functionality of iPhoto 09, I have finally gotten my geotag workflow ironed out for the Nikon D40 using my Amod AGL3080 GPS Data Logger.
If you're looking to use a handheld gps to geotag your pictures, I hope my [...]
I love Google Calendar's quick add feature - just a couple keys and you've got a new event. If only there were a simple tool for iCal.
And now there is! FlexCal for iCal adds hotkey access to add a new event in iCal.
Rawk!
FlexCal is donation-ware and WELL worth it.
If you've got a bit of a tolerance for beta software and Mac OS X, you've got to check out the latest nightly builds of Webkit - the underpinnings for Safari, Google Chrome, and other browsers.
It's ridiculously fast.
Webkit is still in development — user beware — but I've yet to experience any issues [...]

I've gotten a couple of emails from people whom (I presume) got an AppleTV for the holidays.
First… congrats. The AppleTV is a great little system. We've been enjoying ours quite a bit since last April.
Second… here's some tools that I use to help manage tv shows, movies, music, etc on the Apple TV. [...]
I was very excited when Google announced that Google Calendar would support CalDav, because that means you can now have a native, two-way sync with iCal without buying any crazy add-on software.
I set up Google Calendar to sync in iCal and have been very happy with the results so far. There are a few [...]
This homemade music video using Mac apps for The Bird & The Bee's "Do it Again" takes the old "Made on Mac" tagline to the extreme. Enjoy….
Awesome.
PS - If you're digging the song, it's available on iTunes.

Regardless of your particular browser preference, there's no denying that Safari has some great built-in functionality vis-a-vis the core OS X apps. I've always wanted to like Safari, but I never really have. Instead, my browser of choice has always been Camino, with an occasional Firefox window now & then.
In an effort to increase [...]
I feel like I'm tempting the fate of the LazyWeb / Hoosgot gods, but… here goes….
Is anyone familiar with a good Mac OSX client for Amazon S3? I'm using Leopard and trying out Forklift, however, I would prefer some way to treat S3 as a connectable share or server within Finder.
I have found BucketExplorer and [...]

I like to catalog my pictures in iPhoto by event and location. It's not only helpful as a reference, but it allows me to make cool travel photo maps online at Flickr or in Google Earth. For example, here's my geotag map from Flickr.
Since iPhoto doesn't offer a native interface for adding geotags to [...]

One of the great new changes in iPhoto 08 (ok, iPhoto 7 if you want to be technical) is the bundling of the iPhoto library as one package file, a la unix. The advantages are numerous, with the largest being that it is now very difficult for users to accidentally delete or corrupt the library [...]
Since I didn't know this and it is a fairly popular support topic, I wanted to post a quick and easy method for importing pictures from Mail.app into iPhoto.
How To: Import pictures from Mail.app to iPhoto
Open an email with photo attachments in Mail.app
Click and hold the "Save" icon in the message header
Select "Add to [...]

With the holidays approaching, many people will be wondering how to download their AOL email address book to use in Mac OSX's default Address Book.
Luckily enough, AOL already has a tool that will allow you to download your AOL address book into OSX. To convert your AOL email contacts, all you need is to [...]
As you probably know, Google's GMail is all the rage (and has been for the past few years). But as the service continues to expand, more and more people are leaving AOL and using the Google Gmail email.
The one drawback — of course — is that all of your AOL email address contacts are [...]
