The guys at Potion Factory have a great looking app in Podcast Maker. They’ve recently added Voice Candy to their list of applications. Besides being another beautiful app, what is Voice Candy? Straight from their site, it reads: Voice Candy is a fun and useful recorder for your Mac. You get 8 different effects to [...]

My curiosity often costs me a lot of time. My most recent expense started when I subscribed to the coding monkeys blog and read their post about how SubEthaEdit (what a great icon) fully supports being an external editor for Xcode. I don’t plan to collaborate, but I had to try it. It’s kind of [...]

Chax allows you to add tabs to iChat. I switch back and forth between Adium and iChat. Now that I can coerce iChat to use tabs, I may be settling into iChat for a bit longer than I normally stay. [via MGG] update: if you want the tabs (you do) you’ll need the 1.4 beta. [...]

I love finding apps that solve an annoyance that I’ve been trying to solve with other tools. The two annoyances that I’ve just found a solution for are: My downloads folder, “InBox”, gets messy…real quick. It’s hard for me to find things I need in my receipts folder.

WebnoteHappy Lite reached 1.0 yesterday, congrats to Luis! I plan to post a more thorough explanation of how I use WebnoteHappy, but in short I no longer use traditional bookmarks. Everything I bookmark goes into WebnoteHappy. It doesn’t matter if I’m in NetNewsWire, Camino, OmniWeb, or Safari, creating a webnote is easy. So now all [...]

To protect against inevitable drive failure, I clone my PowerBook’s startup disk to two firewire drives, one at work and one at home. Up until recently, that involved OS X’s Disk Utility and “restore”ing the startup disk to the firewire drive. That process was klunky and took about two hours (my external disks are slow). [...]

For a long time now I’ve been thinking the following after mounting a new apps disk image: “Why did they open the Finder without the toolbar? Now I have to click the stupid toolbar button just so I can drag the app to my Applications folder as they suggest.” I justified this two ways: 1) [...]
