{ About }
Hello, my name is Chris and this is my tumblelog.
I act as an Explore liaison for Virb. That means I help finding and featuring great content from the Virb community on Explore. Found something you think should be featured there? Well, feel free to share it in the Explore group. Thanks.
Sometimes you'll find me contributing links, photos, uploading concert videos, recommending or sharing music, talking about Mac related awesomeness and doing other interesting (or not so much) things on this profile.
I share my iTunes and iPod listening habits on Last.fm, and can also be found on other sites, like Tumblr, which I use to host a photoblog.
The photos I upload every once in a while are shot with entry-level cameras, nothing serious. Make sure to view them with Safari though.

Secrets preference panel updated for Snow Leopard ∞
From time to time we have shared hidden settings in applications which can be used to "tweak" an app's behavior, such as forcing Snow Leopard's dictionary to reuse the same window or make the print dialog expanded by default. These settings are normally changed using the Terminal.app which can be daunting to some. Secrets is a (free!) preference panel which has collected a bunch of these settings and made changing them as simple as checking a box or choosing from a drop-down panel of possible choices. It includes settings for about 40 different applications...
MacHeist nanoBundle offers 6 apps for free ∞
I would recommend this because of Shovebox alone, which I often use to synchronize temporary information to the iPhone/ iPod touch app. It's really good.
Shovebox:

Plastic Birds ∞
Midway
Message from the Gyre
These photographs of albatross chicks were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.
To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world's most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.
