I thought that since yesterday was Christmas, I would give you all a review of one of my new gadgets. The iBeam is a set of a flashlight and a laser pointer that fits on the remote/headphone connector, but the iBeam doesn’t work with the nano. I thought the iBeam was a great gift and […]

DockSwitch is an awesome Menu Bar utility that allows users to create and switch docks. You can customize each dock to your liking, and you can switch the docks to each customization.

Today’s TWiT mentioned a great new site, Writely, which is a new word processor “web 2.0” site. It features many great tools, including blogging, sharing, and saving and uploading in .doc format.

Think of Adium X like a Firefox for iChat, it has many features not found in iChat and you can customize it to your style. Adium X lets you customize the your buddy list, the dock icon, and your message window, and you can download many themes from Adium Xtras. I’ve customized my Adium to […]

After writing yesterday’s article, I figured out that you can actually download Google Earth for Mac. This version of Google Earth for Mac must be some version that was leaked from Google. It has some bugs, and is a little slow, but it is still great and fun. One bug I noticed, is when playing […]
