Day One Journal App – Review of a Review… #FAIL

fwiw: If you’re looking for a publication with some class & integrity for Mac & iPhone related topics, I suggest macstories.net.  I find them helpful, informative and reasoned. There was a review of a personal diary program, Day One, today on AppStorm, a site I visit from time to time.  It was an awful review [...]

Endicia Internet Postage: Not VERY Recommended!

UPDATE: Monday, February 28, the CEO of Endicia contacted me to apologize and give me free service – for life. I don’t know if that’s something I should be telling the world, but Mr. Whitehouse once before responded to a problem I had in a very courteous way. And while one might make the argument [...]
