iTunes Screensaver

  • 6 Jul, 2006

I’m not sure how long ago Apple added an iTunes screensaver but I just got around to playing with it. It’s kind of fun. It loads up all your album artwork and displays it on the screen. Then albums flip and change into new ones. It’s like an iTunes ad for your personal music. What […]

Dropping Spotlight for Quicksilver

  • 26 Jun, 2006

Some people rave and rave about Quicksliver but I haven’t found anything special about until recently. I finally figured out something useful and cool to do with it.

Seeing that Flock has now entered public beta, and I think it kind of rocks, I wanted to try and sync Firefox and Flock so I could go back and forth. Well it kind of worked. First I had to edit he Google Browser Sync extension so it would install in Flock. No problems there. […]
