A friendly, “you need a new shirt,” iChat from Ed reminded me that I hadn’t checked my Daring Fireball feed today. As of yesterday, John Gruber has two new t-shirts designs for sale. I’ve had his original t-shirt since his first membership drive, nearly two years ago. I had already been reading his blog for…

Veho claims that “You will never look at television in the same way again!” So I decided to check it out. Veoh consists of software that you install on your Mac or PC, similar to the interaction between iTunes and the iTunes Music Store, though it looks quite a bit less polished then iTunes. It’s…

This MacBook Pro with a 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor will replace the Dual 2.7GHz PowerMac G5 that’s at my…

Are you feeling geeky? Wanna know exactly how much of your CPU you’re using or about how much memory is being used up? How about your hard drive stats!? With the iStat Pro widget you can do all that a bit more! I’ve always been facinated with the status of my machine and just watching…
