Just updated to MarsEdit 3.3.4.  I paid http://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/ $15 and used my old registration number from MarsEdit 1.0.

I have not done a comprehensive survey of all the blogging software out there, but MarsEdit has been very good to me over the years and its gotten better at a pretty good clip.  It is very full featured and easy to use.

Check it out…  well worth the money.

1) They should rename it iWorld.  I disagree…  MacWorld expo  is a 28 year old brand.  iworld is something that is either inside macworld or separate trade show.  IMHO.

2) Jeff ganyard and [...]]]> Chris Wesselman, my good friend at Stanford MIS went to MacWorld Expo at Mocone in San Francisco  yesterday.  This is what he told me:

1) They should rename it iWorld.  I disagree…  MacWorld expo  is a 28 year old brand.  iworld is something that is either inside macworld or separate trade show.  IMHO.

2) Jeff ganyard and Jeff Leman are now at Dragon after Macspeech acquired.  Talked to Jack Simonton and he is no longer at MacSpeech.

3) Our friend Tim Holms is doing well.

4) 266 vendors but much smaller than the MacWorlds of the 1990s

Top 5 coolest things

1) Super Sync - network syncing.  Makes back to mac look like a cloud.  tools for syncing iphone on multiple machines was in multiple products by multiple vendors.

2) Tune up – bad ass duplicate finder, manager and remover.  Cleans up itunes!

3) xxxxxx - square space for web pages

4) xxxxxxxxx -

5 ) Lots of bags, cases and other soft hardware.

6) No Microsoft!

7) BAD things – no adboe, no apple, no lexmark, no epson,  no canon.

Fernando Alonso is my favorite driver and I am really hoping that he wins the World Driving Championship [...]]]> I love following Formula One and I have been watching the races since I was a little boy.  One of the great things about the sport is learning enough about the drivers and teams to have some favorites.

Fernando Alonso is my favorite driver and I am really hoping that he wins the World Driving Championship (WDC) this year.  Currently he is 41 points out.  With the new point system that is less than 2 race wins and there are 6 races left in the season. F1fanatic.co.uk has a terrific article with quotes from Alonso about how he hopes the rest of the season goes.

I started being a fan of Fernando Alonso when he won the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2003.  At that time he was the youngest driver to ever win a Formula One Race.  His driving in 2005 and 2006, when he became the youngest person to win the World Driving championship was nothing short of spectacular.  He was so fast, so consistant and so focused that he was really fun to watch.

When he switched over to McLaren in 2007 he lost out on the championship by a single point.  That year was crazy as Lewis Hamilton, Alonso’s partner at McLaren, had the best rookie  season ever in F1 but blew a 18 point lead in the last 3 races.   Lots of bad blood and drama caused Fernando to only race for one year at McLaren.

After two lack luster years driving a slow car at Renault in 2008 and 2009, Fernando joined Ferrari at the begining of this year.  He won the first race of the year and has had some bad luck but is still in the hunt to win it all if the chips fall his way.

About 6 weeks ago the Governing body for F1, the FIA announced that there will be a US Grand Prix for the first time since the 2007 race at the Indianapolis [...]]]> I am a huge F1 fan. My favorite driver is Fernando Alonso and I love the whole Circus that is Formula One auto racing.

About 6 weeks ago the Governing body for F1, the FIA announced that there will be a US Grand Prix for the first time since the 2007 race at the Indianapolis Speedway in held the last of 6 races at that famed circuit.

Right now I am watching a pirate feed of the BBC pre-race show for the 2010 German Grand Prix at Hockenhiem race track in Germany. Fox wont be showing the race until 1pm so such measures are necessary to watch the race live.
I remember watching the Monico GP on ABC wide world of sports in the late 1960′s. My favorit driver back then was Mario Andretti and I got his autograph when my father took me to the Dan Gurney 200 a USAC race in Seatle.
