The Sites Drawer

JohnStansbury — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:44:32 PDT

Oh, the glory days of RSS. I got a copy of NNW 1.0 on an old MacAddict disk and was amazed at how much was in there in the start. Still interesting seeing how many of those sites in the drawer have fared over the last 6 years.

Movable Type, Easy As Twitter?

JohnStansbury — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:27:49 PDT

This is such a great idea, it needs it’s own word. Use the iPhone interface plugin along with the Menu Extra capability of Fluid to make a faceless application that sits up in your menu bar.

AppTrap

JohnStansbury — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:54:52 PDT

I don’t know about this. Seems a little too easy to get rid of something you may need later. However, I could be completely wrong, and this is the best thing, ever. Just something about it makes me wonder.

Plusoneme.com - A Place to acknowledge people

JohnStansbury — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:10:32 PDT

“PlusOneMe (+1 me) helps you acknowledge people's strengths. It's gold stars for grownups. When you want to acknowledge somebody for a strength they have, you can +1 them for that attribute.” Not a bad idea, actually.

Unintentionally (I think) hilarious pro–Obama video that has to be seen to be enjoyed. All that’s missing are the silhouettes of two robots and the janitor.

Liberation fonts.

JohnStansbury — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:13:04 PDT

Very close to a very usable font for every computer in your house. I would love to use this more…if the thing didn’t need to constantly have the kerning adjusted between applications. Great for the price, though.

Plugin List adds 122 Leopard Mail Templates

JohnStansbury — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:55:26 PDT

Ugh. If stationary wasn’t one of the worse ideas Apple forced on us in 10.5, I don’t wanna see what made the list. And _making them easier to find_ is not really what I would consider a good idea.

Tim Challies reviews Amazon's Kindle

JohnStansbury — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 18:23:25 PDT

My conclusion, then, is that the Amazon is very good at its primary function and, as long as the prospective buyer ensures that he knows what it does (and what it doesn’t do) he should be well pleased with it.
