Let's Negotiate: Sudan Threatens To Cut Off The...
Sudan is not happy about Bush’s new economic sanctions. In fact, their ambassador held a weird news conference that Dana Milbank of the Washington Post described as bearing “no relation to reality,” in which the ambassador threatened to personally cut off the supply of gum arabic, an important ingredient in soft drinks. John Ukec Lueth Ukec, Sudan’s Ambassador, said:...

Icons: QuickLook
Jonas Rask is an icon maker extraordinaire. Every one of his releases has impressed me with its extreme detail, care, and overall ability to blend with the style of OSX.
I am pleased to tell you all about his latest release, QuickLook. These 64 delicious icons are inspired by Apple’s Leopard feature, QuickLook, and they don’t disappoint! They look excellent when implemented as system icons by...
(VIDEO) Bill Gates Shows Off Microsoft's Touch... →
Billy Gates was on the Today Show this morning showing off his fancy new table. Want to see it in action rather than just in photos? Check the video for all sorts of goodness of it being used for all sorts of applications, such as playing with photos, wirelessly pulling photos off a camera, and ordering and paying for food using credit cards.
Don't Torrent That iTunes Plus Song... →
Sure, you can now download music from the iTunes store without DRM but that doesn’t mean you should just willy nilly start sharing that music with your friends. For one thing, it’s illegal. For another, your account information is embedded into that m4a music file. Don’t believe me? Try this yourself.

The goal is to reduce headaches, eliminate the need for complicated tracking...

Switch to Witch
Recently a friend recommended an application to review called Witch. Witch is a small application that lets users quickly and easily switch between ever open file or window on their Mac. You might be wondering why you would need such an application, sense every Mac now comes with Exposé. This is a common misunderstanding, because Witch makes application switching flawless, while Exposé gives the...
QuickScale: Jenny Craig Your Way to Smaller Images
There are many times in the day where you might find yourself stuck with the task of resizing images. Maybe you’re working on a website, or a blog post. If you need to re-size (or scale) multiple images at a time, that could pose even more of a problem and take up precious time.
Last year, when I was still relatively new to the Mac, I found myself needing a way to scale a handful of images. I had...

Here, Have My Bare Bones Stylesheet
A few weeks ago, I finally got around to doing something I’ve been meaning to get to for ages. I created a bare bones stylesheet that I can use as a starting point for new projects. I established a set of common selectors months ago and found myself spending (or rather, wasting) time at the beginning of the CSS phase of every project re-writing virtually the same CSS. It only made sense to...
Golden Rules of Linkbaiting
Link baiting is not evil. Although some bloggers tend to go beyond any ethical considerations in their attempts to enforce as many reciprocal links as possible, the term itself stands for a completely organic nature of the Web - actually, something that has already been here for a while. Traditional link building, used to be bounded with Search Engine Optimization, is now being extended with the...

What the YouTube Player Redesign SHOULD Look Like... →
When I heard that YouTube was redesigning their player’s look, I got really excited. I was hoping for some simpler, more professional controls that were light on the eyes and easier to use. Unfortunately, all they did was move around the graphics and add a dock. So, I opened up Photoshop and tried to make something better.

Handbook for Life: 52 Tips for Happiness and...
This is something I’ve been wanting to write for some time — a Handbook for Life. Now, is there any handbook that can be a guide to every single person? Of course not. This is just a list of tips that I think will help many people in life — some of them common-sense tips that we often forget about. Consider this guide a reminder.
It’ll also become apparent from the links in this handbook that...

Bagelturf - Five Star Rating Is Overrated
Three Stars Is Enough
Here are the rating buckets that I now use:
Reject - Junk - Throw it in the trash
One star - Keep - Too good to trash, but not good enough to show anyone
Two stars - Show - Good enough to show people
Three stars - Brag - Good enough to say Look At That, I Did That
That’s all there is to it. I can rate in two passes with this...
Top 10 Mac Setups With Dell Displays
I decided to put together a quick list of ten great Mac setups consisting of Dell displays following up last weeks list of the Top 10 Multi Display Mac Setups. I strongly believe Apple Cinema Displays out-class Dell marginally in terms of style, the new “07″ series of Dell screens look stunning. Yes..I know the first one is not a Mac (a MacBook is out of the shot), but it looks so good I couldn’t...

Crazy photographers and their gear
From the professional telephoto lens lugging, to the up-your-skirt perverts, a humorous collection of photographs portraying photographers in their natural realm. See the forum thread which contains a handful of interesting images. My fave? The one of a woman trying to use her digital camera backwards.
