Ho, hum, what shall I write about today? I want to write about Douglas Callister's devotional address yesterday, but I'm tired and won't be able to do it justice. (It was amazing, though. Stay tuned.)
Ah, yes, I know: earlier today I read Who Is Jonathan Ive?, ...
Discovered Visor a few minutes ago. It's a cool app which lets you assign a keyboard shortcut to pull down a terminal from the top of your screen. I set my shortcut to Ctrl-\, since Ctrl-F1 (the default) is an awkward combination to type. Note that ...
This morning I got a link in my e-mail activating my test Google Spreadsheets account, so I've been playing around with it. It's pretty cool, and I even think it'll work out fairly well for managing my (meager) finances.
The collaboration, with inline chatting, seems cool. I had it ...
This morning I read How to Backup Your Mac Intelligently, and I realized that I'm a sitting duck right now. But not for much longer. There was a link to Jungle Disk in the comments (#16), and I realized that Amazon S3 is a really ...
iCryptex is a funny little satire on both the Da Vinci Code and Apple. I've already blogged about what I think of the Da Vinci Code, incidentally. And no, I don't really care to watch the movie. (I've got to read through all those design ...
I think my iPod's dying. In dog years it's practically a centenarian (I bought it a year and a half ago), so it's not too surprising. But it is sad. I wonder how much it'd cost to get it fixed... It'll probably have to wait until ...
The MacBook has been released. Mmm. Looks like the iBook/PowerBook era has ended. ~wipes away a tear~ ;) You know, if it's going to cost more than $300 or $400 to fix my PowerBook, I may end up just going for one of these babies instead. ...
I've switched to TextMate for my work development (which is mostly HTML, CSS, and XSLT at the moment, plus Ruby and Python for Beyond). And I'm liking it. Granted, I haven't read the manual yet and so my fingers are really missing vi keystrokes, but I'm going ...
I was looking at Mike Clark's TextMate Cheat Sheet for Rails Hackers a minute ago and saw the Command key sign (⌘, if your font has it). It was the first time I realized that the symbol had to be in a font somewhere (yes, I know, I'm ...
I downloaded Quicksilver, "a unified, extensible interface for working with applications, contacts, music, and other data." Merlin Mann's talked about it on 43folders and it seems to be pretty cool, from what everyone is saying. I'll give it a shot for a week and see how ...
