New Job: Only Mac In The Shop
Posted by EsquireMac in Law Practice Management, Switching, iPhone/iPod Touch on Sep 26th, 2009 | 0 comments
Last month, I started a new job at a new firm. I spent nearly three years at my old firm, and most of what I have written on this blog to date has been related to my experiences there.
If you read my Personal Update last fall, you know that last year I moved back to the town where I grew up – Hagerstown, Maryland. Long story short: The 3.5 hours of driving every day got old and a position at a well respected Hagerstown firm opened up due to one of its (now former) partners being appointed judge.
The new firm runs on a Windows 2003 Exchange Server, and my early-2008 MacBook Pro is the only Mac...
Palm Pre, I Hardly Knew You
Posted by EsquireMac in iPhone/iPod Touch on Jul 11th, 2009 | 2 comments
So, if you follow me on twitter (@esquiremac), you knew a long time ago that my wife and I returned our Palm Pre’s within the first week of owning them. I previously chronicled my thoughts about the Pre after my first two days of ownership about a month ago.
There were a lot of positives about the Pre. To name a few:
Hands down, best rate plan available, by a long shot;
Aside from the iPhone, probably the best darn phone out there;
Good 3G data access;
Nice size, comfortable fit in your hand or pocket;
Physical Keyboard;
Decent 3 megapixel, still camera;
Good IMAP email with multiple account...
Two Days With My Palm Pre
Posted by EsquireMac in iPhone/iPod Touch on Jun 7th, 2009 | 13 comments
Without a doubt, the Palm Pre is the best phone I have ever owned. Of course, that’s not saying much, since the previous best phone I ever owned was my Sanyo Katana that I’ve had for over 2.5 years, and it was just a plain ol’ phone.
Why Pre?
My wife and I have been getting along pretty well with each of us having a cell phone, iPod Touch, and a digital camera (of the Canon SD variety). We completed our latest 2 year contract with Sprint a little over 6 months ago, and we loved being contract free. We have been waiting for the iPhone to end exclusivity with AT&T and we both know...
OmniFocus, Things: You’re On The Hit List

There’s a new player on the field in the game of awesome-GTD-apps-for-the-Mac-…uh…-ball. It’s called The Hit List, and it’s made by the Potion Factory – the same folks who brought you Tangerine! and Voice Candy. I learned about this exciting new app from this article atThe Unofficial Apple Weblog. Not being able to control myself, I immediately applied for the private beta, promising Andy Kim, the developer, that I would put it through its paces and give him some feedback. Later that same night, I received my invitation and downloaded it immediately.
The beta...
I have a thing for Things

Until very recently, I have not been a fan of GTD applications. Frankly, I resisted learning anything about David Allen’s widely celebrated methodology for getting things done. In my quest for a law practice management solution, however, I have tried out a lot of GTD type applications.
Recently, I have become a convert, and, although I have never read David Allen’s book, I have become convinced by some of the most rudimentary elements of his methodology (capture tasks, assign them to a context, assign them to a project, and move on)
One day, several weeks ago, I inexplicably became obsessed...
