macolyte.net

Welcome to macolyte.net. I’m your host, Tony Giunta (pronounced like junta or jinta, depending on who in my family you ask). I am a humble Mac enthusiast living outside of Princeton, NJ with my wife Steph, our mortgage and two car payments.

The purpose of this site is to present short articles and links on how to use the Mac to do practical, useful things with a bit of a nerdy twist. There will be some programming and scripting involved, but I wouldn’t consider this a “programming blog” (because I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a programmer). If you’re looking for solid Mac journalism, breaking Apple news or insightful technology punditry you’ll be better served elsewhere. The way I figure it, the world doesn’t need yet another John Gruber clone, but you can never have enough tips and tricks.
