Viddyou

I found Viddyou in a comment right here on Pixelspread in response to a post I made about Vimeo. I always love when readers take the time to leave me a comment, so I thought I would return the favor and take a look at Viddyou.

First thing that caught my attention was …

Helvetica

Today I got the opportunity to see the film Helvetica. I've been excited to see it for quite a while, and now that I've seen it, I'm so glad I got to catch one of the screenings. If you are at all interested in typography or design, I'd highly recommend trying to get …

Tumblr Button

After seeing the TwitThis button, I decided to do the same thing for Tumblr. Twitter is a decent way to pass links, but I believe Tumblr is a much better format for sharing web pages you love, since you can actually fit a whole link, and write a bit about it before …

Textpattern Comments and Excerpts

I finally took the time today to improve on the Textpattern commenting system for Pixelspread. I really don't know why I didn't do it sooner. As perhaps you've noticed, Textpattern uses comment preview as a way to prevent comment spam. As I've noticed in the past …

WorseThanHorses.com

I've spent the last few days working on a blog/homepage for my friend Greg, and today is the day that it launches. WorseThanHorses.com is running on Symphony, which is why I made that post about it, and will be Greg's online personality. I tried to be pretty thorough …

Another Guest Article

I wrote another guest article the other day at aMacGenius.com about the software tracking site Wakoopa. My general thoughts are that the site is an interesting idea, but there are better ways to acheive the goal, like iusethis. Hope you get a chance to read, and of …

Not Listed in Force Quit?

I just recently had this problem: for the first time ever, Quicksilver froze. It didn't crash and quit. It just froze. When I moved my mouse over the icon in my top bar, the spinning beach ball appeared and never went away. My first instinct was to go to the Force Quit …

IBoughtAMac Article

I just wanted to mention a guest article I wrote on iBoughtAMac today. If you read my post about Moody, this guest article is a expansion on that idea. So if you've ever had difficulty sorting through your massive iTunes library, and have no clue where to start, head …

Starting to love Symphony

I've worked with Symphony when working on the ZombieAttack blog. My first impression was that it was a little overwhelming. I also decided that it was a bit more powerful than what I was going to be using it for.

Today though, I've started using it for a brand new …

Mood tagging iTunes

I remember when Potion Factory released Tangerine. The idea was cool, using BPMs to organize music. The problem was, the execution just never worked very well. I wanted it to separate out my really upbeat intense music and and slow and mellow music, but it didn't do a …

Where Twitter Failed Dealing with Downtime

Of course everyone noticed the serious downtime on Twitter for the past few days. If you haven't noticed, you probably don't use Twitter, and so why would you care?

For those of us that have Twitterrific open on start up though, we all noticed Twitter had more than …

Get A Mac song in Garageband

This is a little project I did a while ago, and never really got around to doing anything with it, so I thought I'd "open source" it... or share the files with everyone. I was going to make a Get a Mac parody with a friend, but I was having a hard time finding an mp3 …

5 Quicksilver Favorites

I think Quicksilver is about my favorite mac app ever. It does everything! Hopefully you know it can launch your applications quickly and easily, but here are 5 of my favorite things Quicksilver can also do.

1) Quicksilver can control iTunes

Go to Quicksilver's …

I Love Vimeo

There are a few websites that I love. I love flickr, I love twitter, I love virb, and I love tumblr. That's been it for a while... until I started using Vimeo.

For a little while I thought Viddler was going to be the video site for me, with the cool commenting …

TheSh.info Launches Blurbs

I decided last night to add a section to the shinfo. The section is called Blurbs and can be found on the site right now. It should be the first thing you see. I decided to create it because of the success of places like Twitter and Jaiku.

I feel like there are lots of …

TheSh.info Launches!

Today I launched a design and concept I've been working on for a little while. My idea is to create a place for stories, articles, and videos to go that don't really fit anywhere else, but totally deserve a chance to be seen and read. These articles and videos may not …

Thoughts on Microblogging

Microblogging seems to be unbelievably trendy recently, with services like Twitter and Jaiku taking off in popularity. With the medium being so young, different sites are trying different methods. Twitter keeps it simple, just asking what you're doing in 144 …

Unlimited Joost Invites

I've written a few posts about Joost before, and I'm finally able to answer the question Do you have any invites? with a Yes! That's right, I have unlimited invites, as does anyone with a Joost beta account. Feel free to leave a comment if you'd like an invite.

I've …

Viddler!

Just another YouTube, right? Actually, no! You'll be surprised. Just looking at the above video I made, you'll see a lot of differences(yea, there isn't much content to the video, my apologies.)

First of all, comments and tags can be applied from anywhere. You can …

Virb Transport goes Beta

Virb (you know, social networking done right?) opened a brand new feature today called Virb Transport. I had no idea they were even working on anything like this, but basically it allows you take any piece of your Virb profile and put it on your own website or other …
