And yes I am using a Mac with OS X, freshly updated to 10.4.2 ... I have uploaded a screenshot of me writing this on <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/bobb/25614126/" title="BoBBj's Photostream" rel="nofollow">flickr</a>. And while my input may be just as good as any of those professional bloggers, I have read my site before and I know that I am not the best in putting an opinion into a well written article. I am working on that issue though, hopefully <a href="http://irgeek.net/archives/2005/07/11/sats/" rel="nofollow">going to college</a> will help remedy that some. Thanks for reading :-) Ah, so that is how people found my site, I have actually been listed on there at least once before, lots of great stuff on that site(other than mine of course).

But, I do wonder of you are using a mac with OS X, as spelling help is system-wide utility (only trobuble is it suggest 'pacifist' for the misspelt pecimist aka pessimist). Highlight a word, right-click or control-click on it and spelling alternatives for misspelt words will appear in popup menu (of course a misspelt word that replicates another correctly spelt word, will not have a suggested word, since computers still don't understand context). Also install the free OmniDictionary and free Nisus Theasaurus. You can then highlight a word and use the 'Services' menuitem under the application menu to take advantage of a dictionary (web based) or thesaurus (local resource). BTW, your two macworld comments are somehow found by Macsurfer and are listed under Analysis/Commentary/Editorial/Opinion section. Better hurry to see the links, as they will be gone tomorrow (http://www.macsurfer.com/) Seriously, your input is as good as any of those “professional’ bloggers.

I must say though I am in awe that you found this site. I remember sitting down at the keynote thinking "Someone from TUAW is doing the same thing i'm doing right now, and he's getting paid to be here." I actually saw you at MacWorld but was to star struck to go introduce myself ;-) But seriously I would have gone to the meetup had it not been slated to be at a bar, what with my lack of ability to enter such an establishment. Thanks for visiting. Haha, the only thing intended by that was to imply my lack of professionalism in blogging as shaitan pointed out earlier today.
