CoverFlow – Interactive Cover Art App

  • 30 Sep, 2005

Thanks to All Forces for pointing out a great little application called CoverFlow. It works with iTunes to organize a searchable database of your music’s covers. It’s fun to play with and looks great. Even complete with smooth movement and other nifty little effects. It’s still in development but it’s a free download to check […]

Best Practical iPod Accessory

  • 30 Sep, 2005

Have you heard of the Griffin SmartDeck? It’s quite possibly the best iPod accessory that is also very practical and reasonably priced. For just $30 you get a cassette adapter that listens to your radio and tells the iPod what to do! You can control the volume and playback of the iPod. Use the cassette […]

New iPod First Thoughts

  • 30 Sep, 2005

Well I’ve had Chester, my new iPod, for over a week now and I haven’t gotten to play with him much. My old iPod is working just fine and my new iTrip hasn’t arrived just yet. However, here are my current issues with the iPod. First, Apple cuts costs by packing the iPod with a […]

I hate plumbing.

  • 29 Sep, 2005

Yep it’s true. A quick replacement of the drain has turned into a replacement of much more. However that’s all fine and good and almost done! Just a small leak left and I have no idea how to stop it. It’s down on that U thing as it’s going up and joining to the next […]

Chilly Willie

  • 29 Sep, 2005

Well it sure was chilly this morning. I believe there was scattered frost and it was like 60 in the house. That doesn’t sound cold but it is. Outside was like 35. Now I’m a fan of fall, but it’s still cold. Our first night in the 30s in months. Soon it’ll be October and […]

Tub Drain 19. Me 1.

  • 28 Sep, 2005

Well I’ve been trying and trying to remove the drain from our bath tub as I need to put in a better one that works without using pliers. It took me quite a few tries (days) but I got it out tonight! They made no tool to get the drain out so I improvised with […]

Google Video Goes Flash

  • 26 Sep, 2005

Finally, Google Video has gone Flash! No more downloading the Google Video player (PC only) or worrying about the video being in windows media format, or avi, or mpg, or real or whatever. Now it should all be in Flash and it should just work. Granted the downside is that the quality is probably less […]

Hello Chester – My new iPod

  • 26 Sep, 2005

I was all excited the other day when it arrived. My new iPod. 20 gigs, full color screen and best of all it was free! I think I’ll call him Chester.I did one of those free iPod deals after researching it to make sure I wasn’t going to get screwed over. And it worked! All […]

Charamel Best Firefox & Thunderbird Theme

  • 22 Sep, 2005

I try and check out all the themes for Firefox and Thunderbird that I can, however only one has ever really impressed me. That theme is Charamel. This theme has had a lot of work put into it and it’s absolutely beautiful. Everything works together and it’s a joy to use. There are even elements […]

Nvu I want to use you.

  • 21 Sep, 2005

Nvu is yet another spawn of the Mozilla family. This time, non-Mozilla employees ripped out Composer, the HTML editor that can be found in the Mozilla Suite. They then re-worked it into a stand alone application called Nvu. Now I was all excited to hear about this project. How could it be bad? Well I’ve […]
