Widget Smidget
I'm blogging via my Mac's Blogger widget. Now I don't know if this will get published so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Update: Didn't work that well. Probably it's because I'm out of space in my Tripod account.Labels: Apple, Mac, Widgets

Goin' Nuts on Apple
It seems the Apple bug is slowly infecting people in the office. First, it was the now-defunct Big Dipper with their Power Mac G4s, then it was Gramps with his iBook. Now there are more and more people in the office using Macs. There's me, Gwen, Mia, Charles, a couple of guys from Solucient and one or two from News/Newsbreak using MacBooks or PowerBooks. What's so cool is Connie's thinking of getting a MacBook Air for work and Miguel had exploratory talks with Apple on using Macs in the workplace. Really good news.Labels: Apple, office

Leopard Love: Reason 2
Everything's so simple, I'm just so amazed, and because of that I'm sounding like an Apple fanboy!
So you shoot videos using Pure Digital's Flip Video Ultra and you have means to share these on YouTube or Kyte. Now comes the missing link - Apple's iMovie from the iLife '08 suite.
 It's so easy that I was able to make a short wala lang movie from the footages I took in Nigel's birthday party. Granted I still have tons to learn on editing and shit, but to do something like this with just dragging and putting texts blew my mind away. When I showed what I did to my wife, she was so jealous she can't wait to have her own Mac.
Now if only we had this technology when we were shooting our short film in high school, then Lilim would have been chosen as the class film instead of that silly kidnap comedy.
Check out what I did in my Kyte channel.Labels: Apple, FlipVideo, gadgets, kyte, Leopard, Mac, video, YouTube

To Ubuntu or not to Ubuntu
 I've been toying with the idea of installing Ubuntu in my old Pentium desktop PC. Some of the tech guys in the office have changed their laptop's OS to Ubuntu and not only was the user interface very nice, their machines were relatively faster.
To be absolutely honest, it really remind me of Mac OSX, only faster. O ha! Yes, they do have a version of spaces, but the way it transitions from one space to the other is very, very nice and smooth. As for other software, there's no need to worry. Browsing will easily be handled by Firefox, while there's OpenOffice for work stuff.
Still reading up on the facts from their website. Has anyone there tried it? More importantly, wanna do an Ubuntu project on my old PC? Show of hands, please.Labels: Apple, Computers, Firefox, Mac, OpenOffice, Ubuntu

Leopard Love: Reason 1
I'm lovin' Leopard's new widget maker! It's so fuckin' easy to make a widget from almost any webpage. All you have to do is click on the Clip It button in Safari and select the part that you'd like to be your widget just like you would crop a picture, click on save and it's automatically added to your widgets.
Things that I have widgetized so far:
1. ABS-CBN's Breaking News
2. Google Finance's Peso-Dollar Exchange Rate
3. CyclingNews' HeadlinesLabels: ABS-CBN, Apple, CyclingNews, Google, Leopard, Mac, Widgets
