Gear Guide: For your private enjoyment

This is what I am talking about, an ipod gear guide for the masses. With Christmas coming this is just what I needed.  Not to mention it is from one of my favorite sources too.

Feature: Gear Guide: For your private enjoyment: "We kick off our winter gear guide with a look at iPod-friendly headphones, speakers, and software aimed at your personal listening pleasure."

Can I Get an ‘Hallelujah’ for Auto-Completion With the Esc and F5 Keys?

"The Cocoa text system has a built-in auto-complete feature that is tied to the system-wide spelling checker dictionary. Start typing a word in app that uses a Cocoa text editing field, hit the Esc key, and you’ll get a drop-down list of suggested completions."

Addiction level set to 10 - Marvin Spectrum

This game is one of the most addictive games I have come across on the net in a while. Dubbed the Marvin Spectrum, you run through an obstacle course where you use the up, down, and left arrow keys. I have lost hours of my life I will never get back... First seen on Digg, then on Lifehacker Marvin Spectrum has all the trappings of something viral.

Vines Everywhere

This is a photo of one of the many rows of vines I visited this summer at the Grand Pré Winery in the Annapolis Valley, in Nova Scotia. A beautiful place to visit, and one of Nova Scotia's great tasting wines can be samples while you are there.



I suggest you stop at the patio restaurant for a bite, and a glass of wine. 4 stars for sure.

Google Trickery

I was cruising Lifehacker this morning, and came across this link that details how to use the google search engine to find .mp3's on the net. This is an alternative to using limewire or other p2p software solutions, but without taking up any HD space for the app, and any accompanying spyware.

Marsedit

So now that I am using Wordpress, I need a good post creator that i can use off-line. Enter stage right MarsEdit. MarsEdit is a light weight software package for Macintosh, produced by Ranchero makers of my other favorite Mac app NetNewsWire.

Welcome!

I hope to post to this blog on a regular basis. I am excited about the prostect of having an outlet for my techno-lust.
