  • My cable box at home in a Motorola. I hope I can use this to unlock a few secrets. I’ve already done the Firewire thing, but with only very limited success.
  • I made a spelling error, and was curious if anyone else had ever made the same mistake.

  • Retro toys from our childhood. I’m sure you’ll find something you forgot you had as a kid.
  • Calibrating the MacBook battery. Will come in handy when I get a replacement (I assume).

  • Pictures of an abandoned Japanese island mining village. Eerie.
  • Was not a big fan of the Model Ms. They remind me of being rudely woken up at sleepover parties by buddies who had PCs. I’m a mac guy.
  • Interviewing the guy behind clickykeyboards.com
  • Screencasts showing cool ways to use TextMate. I never thought a text editor could blow my mind.

  • I’ve been trying to get this up and running for years, but have just been too damn lazy. I made it my mission to get it working tonight and I finally did. Yay!
  • Screensaver that makes your currently open windows and desktop picture fly around in a virtual 3D space behind your monitor.
  • I’m not sure which is cooler: what the guy did, that he did it with a Max Headroom mask on, or that he did it during Doctor Who. Check out the video!
  • Like most things in life: moderation and common sense. Two things that humans are very bad at.

  • Finally a reason to use the Services menu in OS X? If it lets me create a system-wide shortcut key to paste the current song in iTunes then I’m all there.
  • Video demonstration of MacFUSE (Google’s version of FUSE for the Mac).
  • Home for Google’s MacFUSE.
  • Basic tips on getting MacFUSE installed and running successfully.
  • A comparison of Skype versus Gizmo.
  • Better alternative to the Script Menu that’s standard in Mac OS X because with FastScripts you can assign system-wide keyboard shortcuts.
