I recently ordered and received a Hypermac external battery to use with my 13″ Macbook Pro. The battery I purchased was the 100 Wh model. Previously with my older Macbook and Macbook Pro computers, I always purchased a second battery.

I am in the process of upgrading (actually doing a clean install) of Snow Leopard on my iMac. There are still a number of programs that are less than fully compatible. I would be inclined to advise most users to wait a couple of weeks so those applications can catch up.
Not much visible difference [...]

I am reading John Piper’s book When I Don’t Desire God. In a transparent fashion, he admits to 50+ years of fighting the distractions that lure each one of us away from spending our appointed times reading the Word of God:
ADMITTING THE SIN OF RELUCTANCE TO READ THE BIBLE A thousand interesting things compete for [...]

I did not anticipate this book to be a heavy read and I was correct. However, if you are a Kindle 2 (or even a first generation Kindle) owner, this book might be a good one to add to your collection. The price on Amazon was decent ($4.99 I think) and I found some new [...]

I have yet to write a review on the Kindle 2 from Amazon which I picked up over a month ago while vacation in Florida. My preview in a word – “Excellent!” I will save an extended review for later once I locate where I left my mind.
I recently started reading the book, Kindle 2 [...]
