I was surfing around last night and I came across this site.

Finally!

I guess I’m done. It’s been nice knowing all of you. I’m going outside now.

Testing Journler’s blogging abilities — If you see this, it worked. Yay!

For the last few days I’ve been messing around with a great program for the Mac called Journler. It’s like a journal on steroids. It has all the basic features you would expect from journaling software, but then takes it to a whole other level. You can do things like add audio, video, and photos to your entries with the click of a button or record them directly using your built-in hardware. You can even publish your entries to your blog (I haven’t actually tried this yet, cross your fingers). The interface is sleek and intuitive, just what you’d expect from a Mac app.

Don’t look at this as a full review of Journler though, since I’m still plummeting head first through the learning curve, but I was impressed enough with what I saw to give it a mention to anyone who has never heard of it.

I’m still a big time Mac noob. I’ve had this MacBook for about a year now and I just recently discovered what that weird little diagonal line is that all the Mac tutorials refer to. But I do listen. The OS X gurus may not think I’m listening, but I am — and every now and then I pick up on their good habits. I’ve recently been introduced to a little app called Quicksilver. I’m really not the guy to be giving a full review of this app, or any Mac app for that matter, but from what I’ve seen of it so far, it’s pretty damn incredible. Here’s what I can tell from the little time I’ve spent with it — it’s an extremely powerful search application with a slew of built in macros (is that the right word?) which allow you to do all sorts of things to the items that you’ve just searched for. It uses a lot of keyboard shortcuts (which I love) to accomplish tasks at a lightning fast pace.

I’m really not doing this program any justice, so I’m gonna shut up now. The guys over at the Blacktree Inc. will most likely be sending me a cease and desist letter any day now anyways because of this literary mutilation of their product. Go ahead and check it out for yourself. I think you’ll really like it. If you don’t, blame the gurus.

These are great pictures. They remind me of what my basement (a.k.a. the dungeon) used to look like.

I saw this little trick on Digg this morning. It actually sorta, kinda works.

Cut and paste the following text into Google:

{-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(wma|mp3) "DIGG"}

Replace the word “DIGG” with the name of your favorite band and voila, a listing of open indexes containing downloadable music files. Of course you could just go here and let them do the dirty work for you, but where’s the fun n that?

I weigh 210 pounds on Earth, 79.3 pounds on Mercury, 190.4 pounds on Venus, 34.8 pounds on our moon, 79.1 pounds on Mars, 496.4 pounds on Jupiter, 192.3 pounds on Saturn, 186.6 pounds on Uranus, 236.2 pounds on Neptune, and a measly 14 pounds on Pluto.

Next time someone asks me how much I weigh, I’m going to tell them I fluctuate anywhere between 14 and 496 pounds depending on the day. Oh yeah, and what planet I’m on.

How much do you weigh?

We’re less than thirty minutes away from Steve Jobs taking center stage at the annual Macworld Conference & Expo. This year promises to be pretty exciting, so say the experts.

You can check out live coverage of the keynote courtesy of uneasysilence.com. They also have a list of other websites offering live coverage of the event.

This is incredible. It’s a stop motion video of a guy playing the drums and the piano. He claims he can’t play either, but using stop motion, he sounds like a pro. It’s pretty cool looking too, in a freaky sort of way.

This is pretty cool. It’s called Goggles and it’s a fun little flight sim that uses preloaded Google maps.

You can fly over New York, Washington D.C., Paris, Tokyo, and London all while laying down strafing fire.
