Teleport

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

One of my co-workers turned me on to what will quickly become one of the most useful Mac apps I’ve ever installed.  A little FREEWARE utility called Teleport which allows you to share Macs over a network so that you can use one keyboard/mouse with two or more computers.  It’s very easy to install and […]

Date In OSX Menu Bar

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

One of my pet peeves on Mac OSX was that it didn’t display the full date in the menu bar. I had a piece of software installed called iMenuCalendarClock which put a little calendar with the date on my menu bar, but I don’t think that you should have to install software just to […]

AJAX Solitaire

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

Pretty cool; Solitaire in AJAX.  There were a couple of times when the cards didn’t turn for me until I clicked on them and the statistics page didn’t work after I beat the game (on my first try, mind you!), but still pretty damn neat.

Retargeting Images

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

This is a crazy video on a software app (which I can’t figure out the name of) that shows how you can “retarget” an image to scale/fit a screen without pixelation. You can also erase stuff out of the image and it uses the same technique to replace that object in the image with […]

Blog Additions

Monday, August 13th, 2007

I’ve added a banner from Amazon (as you can see on the right) that SHOULD feature content about Flash/Flex/AIR, but right now it’s not and I think that’s because it will only do that from now on based on content I write (it is content driven), so we’ll see.  If it continues to post stupid […]

Wordpress Upgrade

Friday, August 10th, 2007

I upgraded to WordPress 2.2 yesterday because I wanted to get a stats plugin running and I added some other behind the scenes plugins as well.  If you see anything that is broken or out of place, please let me know so I can take a look at it.  Thanks.
