We recently reported that Steve Jobs has finally agreed to an authorized biography, written by former Time magazine editor Walter Isaacson: The book, which is in the early planning stages, would cover the entire life of Mr. Jobs, from his youth in the area now known as Silicon Valley through his years at Apple.

Decode Lossless Files with XLD
The truth is, I never thought I would file this under Apps I Can’t Live Without– I don’t really consider myself an “audiophile”. It was the Husband who turned me on to the joys of lossless music, and let me tell you, hearing Yo-Yo Ma play Bach Cello Suite No.1 without quality loss (which is […]
iPad Accessories on My Wishlist
Because it’s a known fact that I’m an Apple fangirl, many people feel it’s their duty to let me know that they won’t be buying the iPad. That’s fine with me- people can certainly choose not to buy Apple’s latest product. But I’m not one of those people. In fact- and this is a wee […]
SpeakingFox for Firefox
While I do like Safari, as a web developer it’s just more practical for me to use Firefox. Plus, I get to use all these cool extensions! Like this one: SpeakingFox is a Firefox add-on that does one thing, and very well. It allows you to convert text in your browser to audible speech. Safari […]
Aperture 3: Now with Faces and Places
The first time I learned about iPhoto’s Faces and Places feature, I wasn’t exactly excited. Did I really need my photo management app to recognize my friends and family’s faces? Fast forward several months later, and wouldn’t you know? I love it. Especially Faces, which- after a bit of “training”- organizes my photos according to […]
I Am Steve’s Black Turtleneck
Want to be Steve Jobs- or just dress like him? Steve’s black mock turtleneck, paired with classic Levi 501s, is so famous that there’s a website dedicated to it, and a “Hello, My Name is Fake Steve Jobs” iteration (sort of a mock mock turtleneck?) as well. Apparently, the real turtleneck is made by St. […]
Recipe Management with HeadCook
Unlike my husband, who is the kind of cook that eschews cookbooks, I like to follow recipes. I’m a baker, so it’s in my nature to painstakingly weigh and measure everything that goes into a dish. Which is why I practically jumped on HeadCook, a recipe management app that lets you do everything from creating […]

We iPhone and iPod Touch users love our apps, and with the announcement that the iPad will run almost 140,000 apps from the App Store, it looks like the latter will just keep on growing in popularity and apps. Here, three of my favorite (free!) ways to keep track of them: AppShopper AppShopper very awesomely […]
Have Your Mac and Eat it Too
I’ve mentioned before that aside from being an Apple fangirl, I’m a baker- which explains this little collection of photos I want to share with you. These are, without a doubt, the sweetest Macs ever- nine of my favorite Apple “products” in cupcake and cake form: Sweet 16 Macbook What Twilight-loving, Robert Pattinson-obsessed sixteen year […]

Tips for Apple Evangelists
Before anything else, I’d like to introduce myself: I’m Lorraine Nepomuceno, a web designer and rabid Apple fan-girl. When I’m not blogging about web design or creating dream configurations of Mac Pros at the Apple store, I run a little online bakeshop, spend time with my husband, and try, mostly in vain, to keep our […]
