Winamp's woes: how the greatest MP3 player undid itself is a good little article. I remember MacAMP too and the drama and stuff around that. I even wrote some plugins for MacAMP when it was - I kid you not - MacAST. Many of the people behind that app went on to found Unsanity, which last released an update in 2010 or so with a post on their site on October 8, 2011.

P.S. My plugins included Dancing Baby, Ear Hair (IIRC), and one that was actually fairly popular and quite versatile with a fairly sophisticated means of determining the EQ levels.

Here's the article.

1. Retina Display Ready - meh.
2. Darker UI - okay.
3. Unified Library with iPhoto - Hmmm, I kind of liked my setup before.
4. Advanced White Balance - sounds good.
5. Improved Highlights and Shadows - Yay!
6. Professional Auto Enhance - people use auto-enhance?
7. Faster Browsing - woooo!
8. Lots of Little Changes - Okay. Whatever. Metadata -> Info. Gotta remember that one though.

My running streak came to an end.

I was running at least a mile a day for as long as I could so long as the reason I missed was not laziness.

Well, I didn't miss a day's run out of laziness. I probably burned twice as many calories today as most days when I ran.

But oh well, it's over. And I'm somewhat relieved, too, because now I can get back to longer runs three times a week.

I think I'll take it really easy for awhile though.

Time to catch up again! 😀

The fix? Turn off the "Push" setting.

Thanks to MJTsai and others for this.

P.S. I bought a license for Fantastical. Their 50% off deal got me.

Cool. Also, here's a very good article on concussions as they relate to Crosby.

Get them here!!!

This article was a fascinating read, and focused primarily on how to render the main character's hair in Pixar's new movie Brave.

FlipBook HD is now available, and it's pretty sweet. If you own an iPad, check it out for sure.

Here's a cool animation, for example. Great for kids or adults who like to sketch and doodle.

Two versions, same theme. I think I like the second one better (first one courtesy of Zero Drop).

The second, well, it's on the wall here.

It's quite nice. 😀

You can grab it for $99 or so. Here's a video:

If you want to get better at golf, buy this DVD today!

Here's a bit more on the DVDs themselves and a forum thread discussing the 5 Simple Keys® themselves.

Michael Tsai shares the tip that holding down shift and option can control the volume level and brightness to a finer degree. Four extra steps, to be precise.

I decided to go with my "stopgap Mac" plan. I'll pick up a refurbished Mac Pro to tide me over until the new ones ship. Current rates are 15% off, which isn't terrible (nor is it great).

I'll just move the hard drives over (and possibly the lower SuperDrive, as my current Mac Pro has two), and that'll be that. I'll probably pick up a display while I'm at it. I'll always be able to use it.

The current Mac Pro and display? I'll find a use for it. I'm not sure what that is, but the "use" might be to put it downtown. I could trade out the Mac Mini there and give that to the kiddo or something. We'll see.

P.S. Or I'll just use an Apple employee discount and get a new Mac for the same cost as a refurbished one. 🙂
