16 Mac Apps That I Can’t Live Without
The other day I bit the bullet and erased my iMac. I wanted to combine my partitioned drive into one and I wanted to clean out the crud.
Now my iMac is neat and clean again. I’m being very cautious of what apps I put back on as I don’t want to add a bunch of stuff that just ends up slowing down my machine again.
So far, here are the 16 Mac apps that I realized I can’t live without.
1Password – Most of my passwords and serial numbers are organized in 1Password. Without it, I’d be lost. I’ve tried LastPass but found 1Password much nicer on the Mac.
How do you take a baby to 4th of July fireworks?
Fireworks
Here it is 4th of July weekend and we’ve got no plans, which is a good thing, however fireworks are pretty much out for this year.
Now I love fireworks, and I’m not a fan of sitting inside on the 4th when they are going on, but I’m not taking Lily to see them this year.
She’s just a baby and between the loud noises & bugs, sitting outside at night just doesn’t seem like a good ideas. Plus it’ll be 2 hours after her bedtime.
Minneapolis Aquatennial Fireworks Tonight
If you are in the Minneapolis area, tonight is the best fireworks show you may ever see! The annual Minneapolis Aquatennial fireworks shoot off the Hennepin Avenue bridge over the Mississippi and they are amazing.
With Target as the sponsor, you know it’s going to be good. They have 10,000 pounds of explosives and 45 miles of wire making it the largest of its kind west of the Mississippi!
Get there early though as parking and viewing spots fill up fast! I know we’ll be there!!
Valleyfair’s 4th of July Fireworks
The sky will be lit with many beautiful colors and exploding sounds on our Nation’s birthday as Valleyfair sets off its Fireworks Spectacular at approximately 10:00 p.m. on July 4th.
Ride the rides, enjoy the day and stay for the show. Sounds great to me. 
Valleyfair will have extended hours on July 4th from 10:00 a.m.-Midnight.
Enjoy and Happy Forth of July!!
Apple Special Event Invite
It’s all the buzz, those Apple Special Event Invites. Check out this one I found.
Pretty swanky isn’t it!!
Ok, I’ll admit it, I created it in Fireworks this morning. Actually I created it for a contest over at TUAW.com. I may just win a cup! 
Click on it for a bigger version that you can actually read.
My idea was to be generic of course, yet hint that it’s another iPod event. A growing iPod family? An upgrade? Wireless iPods? Who knows. Maybe the event has to do with AppleWorks, no one really knows.
