Before I won my iPod, I didn't much listen to anything but the radio. I had a few CDs, but never listened to them. I didn't have a CD player in my car. So I didn't listen to them. For convenience, it was the radio. Then I found the perfect solution to listen to my iPod while I worked at my Small Home Office (corner, really), since I hadn't had much luck with FM Transmitters with my iPod in my vehicles and don't care for headphones. I came across the iHome iPod Alarm Clock and asked to review it for MacNN. But MacNN didn't come through with a product to review, so my wife bought one for me for Christmas. (Thanks, Lynette!)

Though I had a couple people tell me the iHome wasn't very good, I beg to differ with them. It's a great, well-built accessory and I absolutely couldn't do without mine now that I've had it just a month. Just as I couldn't do without my iPod. If you own an iPod and an alarm clock, dispense with the old alarm clock. Check out my review of the iHome iPod Alarm Clock at epinions.com!

I just turned in my review of RapidWeaver 3.2 for MacCompanion.com. I am new to RapidWeaver, but I've used it to redesign my freelance web site. Built on a template system, templates that can be selected or copied and altered to create new ones, RapidWeaver makes general web publishing and maintenance as simple as it has ever been. The image quality isn't at a professional level, but RapidWeaver makes it incredibly easy to get a web site up quickly. v3.5 will be available in about 60 days as a free upgrade to 3.2 owners. It appears to be a worthy upgrade. Best of all: RapidWeaver is easy to use for everyone on the Macintosh. Read my review and then go buy it if you want a web site. Then host your site with me. I'll give you some kind of discount if you mention this blog entry. I'm flexible. :)
