Sous Chef: Mac App for Cooks and Cook-Challenged

Posted on 12. May, 2009 by Luis Sandoval.

Today’s society has become an instant gratification society. We consume content, food, information, anything we can get our hands on, quickly, entirely, and we move on. Of course the speed of progress and the changing world help influence these changes, but what about taking the time to cook an well planned meal?

Impossible you say?

Well perhaps for some of us that are used to microwaving just about anything we can, it’s an odd concept to wrap our heads around. A great number of us have not left our college days where our diets included three main staples, pizza, Ramen noodles, and a “beverage” of choice. These habits have carried over into our professional and personal lives after college as we move from place to another, one meeting to the next, with little attention being given to where we are getting our daily intake of food.

Top 5 Blogging Tools for Mac Series Summary

Posted on 13. Jan, 2009 by Luis Sandoval.

For all our Mac fans, I took to listing the top five blogging tools for the platform. Blogging has quickly become the media form of choice not just for individuals, but for large news outlets as well. The freedom that comes with blogging has attracted people from all walks of life, with interests as varied as stars in the sky.

With all the opportunity in the blogosphere, it was important for me to share the tools that I use as a Mac owner with the audience of Lost in Technology.  If you’ve not blogged out there before, these tools are not blogging platform specific. Blogger, Typepad, Movable Type and Wordpress all work with these tools. Take the plunge and share your thoughts with the world. Make sure you leave a comment below with your blog site so that our readers can visit and interact with you on your site.

Please note that not all the tools came FREE, some had a small price attached, but the software more than paid for itself when it came time to get posts done. If you are a MAC owner, make sure to check the series out and chime in with your thoughts on the applications, or perhaps if you use other methods, share those as well.

Tool #1: Newsfire

Tool #2: Ecto

Tool #3: Image Shackle

Tools #4 & #5: Pingoat & Pukka

Check back with Lost in Technology as we develop a new series of posts for Mac users!
