iPhone G3 Love

I have returned from a moritorium on posting due to work and school with a shoutout to Apple for blessing us Canadians with the iPhone 3G.  What an amazing device.  Once I have a week of use in on the device I will post my thoughts and a list of my favorite apps.

Joost Invites To Give Away

Apparently Joost is not as popular as I thought... Or, I spend to much time one the net compared to those I associate with. I have asked all of my friends if they would like a Joost invite, and the most common response is "What is Joost?" from the look of absolute horror on my face in response to this people ask "what is wrong?" To that I say "am I the only person plugged into the Internet?" I realize that it is just series of tubes, but dang... Joost is everywhere in the space isn't it? Anyway, I have two invites that expire on the 22nd, and am now offering them to the first two posters to this comment.

Services Scrubber Hurray!!

Mac OS has a Services menu where all the tasks associated with each app on your system are found in one location. I had for the longest time items in my services menu that where out of place like "convert to simplified chinese". I went looking for the location of each of these services in an attempt to remove them. This can be a difficult task in itself, so I googled "how to edit the services menu in OSX" and found an app that simplifies the process of disabling services you don't use, and removing those that are orphaned when uninstalling software. The App is called Services Scrubber, and it can be found here. Give it try. I am glad I did.

Searchmash

Searchmash is googles new search engine that has a web 2.0 feel, and is customizable to the searcher. If Google implements this search engine as a replacement for their current offering, they will most certainly secure an already tight grip on the search engine game. I am using this as my default search engine and I suggest you give it a try. Happy searching...
