Dropping MobileMe
Is there life after MobileMe? About a month ago I received an email from Apple informing me that my MobileMe subscription was coming up for renewal. I’ve loved the services that MobileMe provides since signing up over a year ago, and had planned on keeping it going. But with the holidays coming up I decided [...]
iChat: Multiple Accounts, One Contact List
Chax comes to Snow Leopard A while back I came across Chax, a great little add on for iChat that, among other things, allowed me to consolidate my AIM and Google Talk accounts into a single contact window. It’s never made sense to have separate lists for each account, so this little gem made iChat [...]
Chamber of Commerce Email List Update
Just a quick update on the Park City Chamber email list article from back in May. The plan was to take the 1200 or so contacts from the Chamber list and send one last unsolicited message requiring each recipient to explicitly subscribe if they wished to continue receiving the newsletter.

This means we can now officially drop support for this outdated browser, at least on this site. Now that I’ve reached the vaunted 10%, and with newer browsers continuing to improve [...]
Better email communication: Part II
Tame the multi-pointed beast Note: Part 2 in a series on better email communication. Write better, get better results. Here’s Part I. That beast above is called Hydra, a multi headed creature from Greek mythology. It was said to possess the ability to grow back any of its heads that happened to be cut off, [...]
Better email communication: Part I
Imagine if Moses had come down from that mountain not with two huge stone tablets with 10 commandments for the people to follow, but with one small tablet, with a single commandment. Wouldn’t have that been a lot easier to remember? I wonder if God thought 10 was a pretty concise number for a while, [...]
First Hand: How to begin a blog
When starting a section on your site that you intend to update on a frequent basis, its a good idea to ask yourself a few questions first. As this is my first real post, I’ll go ahead and use myself as a real life example to the process. Step 1: Pick your audience Often you’ll [...]
