iPox Wiki

  • 19 Mar, 2006

I’ve created an iPox wiki to hopefully help me keep track of things that still need to be done.  Not only can I make the lists, but so can you.  It’s open to the public right now and we’ll see how that goes.  🙂

Playing with Apple’s Photo Booth

  • 17 Mar, 2006

One of my new applications is Photo Booth from Apple. It’s a simple application that ties into my iSight web camera and takes still pictures. You can also select filters and take pictures that look interesting. 🙂 Below is some of my fun with Photo Booth this morning. Granted, I think I need better lighting. […]

Mint : It’s like Firefox for Stats

  • 15 Mar, 2006

No, Mint isn’t another new offering from Mozilla, but rather well designed stats package for your website. Not only does it look good, it’s also very easy to use and extendable! Mint costs $30 and you install it your webserver. It’s PHP based and requires a database but it’s really simple to setup and use. […]

My First Dashboard Widget

  • 14 Mar, 2006

I’ve created my first Dashboard Widget 🙂 Thanks to a nice tutorial from Josh Nimoy I was able to walk though the steps and see how easy it is to create a simple, yet pointless, Dashboard Widget. You never know, this could be the first steps towards something amazing! If you want, and I don’t […]

iRows : Web Based Spreadsheets

I searched for a web based Microsoft Excel today and I found iRows. All the basics, none of the bloat or cost!! Today was a snow day and I was told not to come into work but rather work from home. Great idea except I treat my home computer differently than my work computer. For […]

Target Disk Mode Rocks

  • 10 Mar, 2006

You gotta love target disk mode. It’s a wonderful feature from Apple that lets you boot a machine as a firewire hard drive on another. This then allows you to quickly copy off files and folders. This morning I hooked up my PowerBook to my new iMac via a firewire cable, held down the T […]

Writely Purchased by Google!

  • 9 Mar, 2006

One of my favorite Web 2.0 applications is Writely – online word processing. I just find it so useful, simple and wonderful! Completely imports almost any text file with formatting and export them as well. So handy. However, today I found out it got bought by Google!! What does that mean? Well I’m not sure […]

Pixoh: Image Editing Online

  • 9 Mar, 2006

I was going to talk about box.net online storage today as a cool web service, but Pixoh image editing is so much cooler! Pixoh allows a user to upload a photo, or grab it from the web, and edit it online. Currently you can crop, resize and rotate. Then, when you are done, you can […]

Blank DVDs Are Cheap
