New iPod Shuffle
This has got to be the coolest MP3 player ever. [Link]
My desktop is cluttered with a ton of jpgs, urls, txt files and other random shit. In fact, the majority of Mac users desktops are cluttered. Its a Mac thing.
This is where Hazel comes into play. Hazel can help you keep your desktop and any other folder organized. You could create rules that will tell Hazel to do a certain thing once these rules are met. For example, you could tell it that any JPG that is placed in the Desktop to automatically take it and place it in the Pictures folder. Or if you find a movie file place it the movie folder. You could also set rules based on time, for example you could tell it to delete files from the trash that have been there for more then a week. Its really flexible and you could really do a lot with it.
Problem is its not free, but what I am doing is trying it out and if it turns out the software is actually practical I will pay for it. Check it out. [Link]

The Apple Store, Mac & More located at Marina Mall just got a new supply of Crumpler bags.
I love the way how Apple always manages to find a cool way of attacking Microsoft. Tonight is the Worldwide Developers Conference where Apple will be introducing some new products and someone managed to take a picture of a banner for the new Mac OS which has the headline “Introducing Vista 2.0”. If you didn’t get what it means its basically taking a shot at the upcoming Microsoft Vista (the new Windows) which is already more then 2 years late. Basically the poster is saying that OSX (Macs operating system) is already way more advanced then Vista. [Link]
update: another banner reads “Redmond has its own cat. A copycat.”
Chicken of the VNC is the best VNC client I have ever used on the Mac. Its super fast, has a cool name and its free. [Link]
This has to be one of the strangest screen savers I have ever seen. Its Mac only. [Link]
I found this cool Mac software via Digg called Kip. What is Kip? According to the description on their website, every house has cardboard boxes full of receipts, important medical records and old letters. Kip finally gives you a tool to keep all these documents in one place, instantly retrievable and searchable.
Whats also cool about Kip is that it looks and works like iPhoto. You can tag your documents so you can later find what you want quickly. I am going to use it to scan some of my receipts, contracts and letters which should turn out cool. Its also free so check it out. [Link]
Just what I needed. Firefox looks really cool now. [Link]
If you don’t come back, Nibaq gets your MacBook, I get your Nano.
Seeing Double
Nats MacBook arrived today and sadly for her she isn’t here to enjoy it!
Just got my MacBook RAM today from Transintl. I now have a total of 2GB which is a huge leap over the 512MB that came with it. Everything is running way smoother and I can finally multitask!
For those of you who are still stuck with the 512MB stock RAM and are having issues with Photoshop may I suggest ChocoFlop. Its what I was using and it gets the job done when it comes to basic image related stuff. Plus it launches in like 2 seconds. [Link]
