Installed a Retail Superdrive.

Today I upgraded my Power Mac G4 by adding a Superdrive (DVD Burner). I purchased the Pioneer DVR-A07XLA DVD Writer which is a new version of the drives Apple calls the Superdrive for $150. I installed the drive in the lower drive bay of my Power Mac (mirror door), I made sure the drive was set to ‘Cable Select’. The only thing I forgot to do was remove the face of the the drive, which slides right off. Once the face was off I was able to get the drive to eject by using the ‘option + eject’ command on the keyboard (that’s how you open the second drive bay). My Mac recognized the drive automatically and successfully burned a movie via iDVD 4 right off the bat.

Adding Google's Site Search.

Today I discovered how to add a search field to the site using Google’s search engine. Google provides the code here. You can customize the code if you want (as I did) so you won’t have to use the google logo on your site and resize search field to better fit your design. As you can see to in my navigation bar the search field is up and running.

Here’s the code I used:

After working on this search project all day I test searching for several things on Google including my name: Bronder. Well it turns out if you search for ‘bronder’ you will be finding pretty much only this site. I guess that means I’m the owner of the name Bronder on the internet. I’m might just throw my hat into the ring for President of the Internet considering my massive name recognition thanks to the power of Google.
