Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

James Dempsey Coming to TheAppleBlog from the dry, barren desert of Phoenix, Arizona, I wanted to introduce myself as the newest TAB writer and tell you a bit about myself. A graphic designer by trade, I’ve been working in the business for over 20 years, both as a freelancer and for local and national ad agencies. As an Apple fanatic, I’ve been using Macs since 1984 starting with the 128k, up to my current desktop/laptop combo — and with the exception of the infamous hockey-puck mouse, I’ve loved every minute of it. I’m excited to be here at TheAppleBlog, and look forward to sharing my experiences with you. You may recognize my name, or my ugly mug from my hobby, The Graphic Mac , where I post tips, reviews and commentary for graphic designers running Mac OS X. Or perhaps you’ve read one of my articles at Macworld.com or CreativeBits.org. While my writing for those sites focuses almost completely on graphic design-related topics, I’ll spare you that here, and offer a wide-range of software, Internet, and Apple-related topics — I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do writing them. As for my current setup, I have a MacPro with 11GB of RAM, a 30-inch Dell Ultrasharp LCD, and a Logitech Wireless Wave Pro keyboard/mouse combo on my desk. When I need to take work on the road, I use a MacBook Pro 15-inch with 2GB of RAM and an Apple wireless Mighty Mouse.
