You don’t have to know me very well to find out that I am cukoo for mobile devices. silicon.com has this top ten mobile design classics article that made me feel happy. My top favorites are actually numbers seven and eight, the Nokia 7600 and the Siemens Xelibri respectively. via slashdot
It’s my day off and I’m excited to go on a bit of an adventure and then… snow. Snow everywhere. Lots of it. And it sucks.
Since getting my mac a few months ago I have become obsessed with mac apps.
So here is my list of my favourite apps that you must have.
disk inventory x website
As a multimedia artist and general internet addict, I am constantly suffering from data residue on my hard drive. You know, the files that get hidden away when you’re doing a render in a hurry and things like that. Well, disk inventory x will give you a nice little picture of how much space files are taking up and then give you the chance to delete it or just launch it’s location in the finder.
handbrake website
Often I need to rip a dvd to use for web documentation or in live video performance (all legal, of course ;)) and handbrake makes it really simple. Simply insert a DVD and minutes later you’ve got a tidy .mp4 on your desktop.
ipoddisk website
Rip the contents of your ipod to your hard disk. Now you can have it both ways. (A word to the wise: make sure you shut down iTunes before you use ipoddisk, it always seems to crash my system.)
jumpcut website
Saves all your clipboard contents for easy retrieval later. A must have for web designers and developers.
smc fan control website
MacBook Pros get hot, hot, hot and this will cool them down.
todos website
Organize all your apps with this meta-app. Command-Option-Control-T launches a palette of all available apps on your system.
For one brief moment the chaos subsided, and now the clock is ticking once more, the wind howls and Jesse hates Aerosmith. In the next few weeks we’re getting ready for Dowsing for Failure at Open Space, which is shaping up to be one of the most interesting shows I’ve ever been a part of. I’m still mulling over the exhibit manifesto and I’m not quite sure what to make of it yet, but I likes it. I likes it just fine.
I’m also planning my next website, a showcase site for Grand Theft Bicycle: Babylon. It’s going to have a media gallery, artistic statement, etc, etc, etc. Of course we will have all of your favorite GTB characters as well.
Speaking of web projects, I’m pretty much finished the site I’ve been creating for Kristina Campbell. It is a minimal affair, but highly functional and soon it will be bursting at the seams with images, video and sounds. I have also finished instructing Russ on how to use his blog. You should take a moment and visit him at russellreilander.com.
Feeling like a lookey loo? These photos and these photos are amazing. Props to the peeps at Dorkbot SoCal. via boingboing
