OT: My 15 Minutes (almost)

January 28, 2010

A shade under 1 minute is just about 15 minutes right?  If so, I have had my 15 minutes of fame this week.
A couple days ago I was contacted out of the blue by a very kind producer at ABC World News, and asked to be one of a small group of ‘experts’ who [...]

OT: Artists I’d Love to See in iTunes

January 9, 2010

 
I’ve only recently started to use iTunes as my primary music library.  With the ability to share out one library from my Mac to a couple of Windows machines, and with three of us in the house using iPhones / Touches, it just makes good sense for us.
Although I’ve got a few gripes [...]

OT: Hook ‘Em Horns

January 7, 2010

As all of you who are college football fans know, tonight is the National Championship game – and my hometown team, the University of Texas, is up against Alabama.
I’ll be glued to the TV and hoping Colt Mcoy can conjure up a Vince Young like performance and that the UT defense can stifle the [...]

OT: Google’s Holiday gift is huge, but you likely won’t see it

December 21, 2009

Here is one of those times  that Google’s “Don’t be evil” seems to come into play. Instead of simply offering special Holiday sales (though there is a storage space sale), they seem to have launched a huge, albeit vague PR/Humanitarian campaign involving $20 Million and a list of charities. I’m not playing the Doubting Thomas [...]

Holy USB Battery Pack on your wrist, Batman!

December 9, 2009

I’m actually supposed to be drawing the contest winners for the CopyTrans contest — sorry folks, no late entries because things are timestamped — but I had one of those rare moments where I saw something online and almost spit coffee all over my Mac. It’s all thanks to this little Brando USB Wrist Band [...]

OT: Unbelievable Alley Oop Dunks Video

December 6, 2009

 
Nothing to do with iPhones.  I may be one of the last folks on the web to spot these videos featuring B.Manley – but Oh My Freaking God this one is awesome to watch.
This made my day so far. Lots more trick shots and amazing stuff HERE.

Happy Thanksgiving, Hook ‘Em Horns

November 26, 2009

There are huge amounts of food in my immediate future, as well as a long day of laziness, family time, and football watching – hopefully culminating with a big Longhorns victory over Texas A&M this evening.
I’ve got tons to be thankful for this year and every day – not least all of [...]

OT: Loving the Camino Browser for Mac

November 22, 2009

 
I’m a long-time fan of the Firefox web browser.  I’ve used it for years across Windows and Mac PCs, and it’s always been my favorite and default browser.  Over the last three days or so I’ve been trying out an alternative on my MacBook – the Camino (2.0) browser.
And much to my surprise I [...]

OT: Get your Mac menu bars ready – Notify 2 is coming!

November 13, 2009

Mmm, Notify. Generic name, great software.
I’ve been keeping Notify in my menu bar for the past few months and it has been kicking emails and showing names with growl notifications — basically doing the job that the Gmail Notifier app would be doing if it didn’t take so long to refresh. I love Notify because [...]

OT: Happy Birthday Firefox

November 9, 2009

Five years ago, an open-source browser called Firefox—one that didn’t ship with your computer—was available as a 1.0 download. To say it’s changed the world’s web experience is understatement.

I’ve been a Firefox user and huge fan of this browser since pretty much the 1.0 days – whether using a Windows machine (or a Linux [...]

Brilliant stuff.  I’m guilty of several of them, but still hilarious.  Number 7 is my favorite.
