brix mail… 1984 Playset Goes on Sale in Two Days
Podbrix has made some neat stuff, and this one looks like the best so far – too bad it’s a limited edition of only 100. Order now! I wish I could!

Amazon.com: Western Digital 250 GB USB 2.0/Firewire External Hard Drive with Dual Option Backup and USB
This lovely little beast has 250 gb of disk space in a nice little box complete with USB 2.0 and Firewire. It comes with a copy of Retrospect Express from Dantz/EMC (I’m a huge fan of the Retrospect line, so this is a good thing) and it’s pretty easy to use.
So don’t just sit there – go get one and backup your data!

the Widget Foundry :: flickrframe Widget
If you have a flickr account – or a friend who has one – then check out this Widget. It will show you three images from the chosen stream – in order or randomly. Clicking on the image will bring you to the URL of the photo – it’s kind of neat to have different photos of the family show up whenever I use Dashboard.

DBB is a project started when various internet filtering companies started to block access to Boing Boing for reasons that are pretty silly – just because they tell people how to bypass internet filters.
It’s a long standing internet tradition that if access to something is blocked, that someone else figures out how to provide access to it. In this case, there’s the DBB project – a way of providing access to Boing Boing via other peoples websites.
I believe in free speech and openness and all that other cool/good/hip stuff, so I’ve jumped on the bandwagon:

Letterbox | aaron.harnly.net | Aaron Harnly
Letterbox is a plugin for Apple’s Mail.app that takes advantage of your widescreen monitor. It rearranges the interface into three vertical columns –so the message pane is to the right of the message list, rather than below.
I just installed this, and it’s pretty darn good – like “I can’t believe Apple didn’t come up with this” good. Go check it out!

Medallia Blog: SmackBook Pro Archives
I myself also use a desktop manager – it’s very handy to have all my web browsing windows on one screen, then be able to switch over to a completely blank screen to check my email or whatever. Anyway, the new MacBook and MacBook Pro come with accelerometers to try to prevent the hard drive from crashing if the computer is dropped. People have already started putting together games and other interesting toys to take advantage of this – I think this is a novel way to switch the screens. Watch the movie and decide for yourself.

Take one MacBook that’s white, another that’s black, and then mix up the keys. What do you get? The MacBook Chess…..

Proposal via Apple’s website – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
Apple did a live webcam for the grand opening of their latest store on Fifth Avenue in NYC. An enterprising young man with love on his mind took advantage of the web cam (see the time lapse
