Thought I would mix it up a bit for the people (I think) who read my humble blog with a tech review! I use Quicksilver heavily, and I’m wondering if Blast from Apparent Software would be a good complement. It has keyboard shortcuts, and I can get it for free if I review it here. I’ll be sending them an email in a bit. Watch for it!

It’s true. (I do like free, though.)
Lately it seems more and more evident that the general population expects software to be free or at the very least cheap. This is reinforced when companies like Apple, who make a tremendous income off of their hardware, the iTunes store, and many other revenue streams, heavily discount their…

I had tweeted this earlier across multiple tweets, but here is my suggestion for Google in one place:
Okay Google, why not do this: In Chrome, feel free to remove H.264, but make a project on Google Code that would make Chrome play H.264. Then, either keep it that way or recognize the high amount of activity and downloads that code project is getting (of which stats are public) and put support back into Chrome for H.264.
What do you think?

I can’t believe they killed it! I think Google went wrong not in the code, but in the fact that they didn’t really push it. Some people embraced it, but others wanted to wait to see how it turned out. The problem with that? Too few adopters and too many waiters. If Google had pushed it more, I think that balance would have shifted so that it would have came out. I think Google could still save it though, if they do that. I hope they save it!

This is what becomes of not reading close enough. Now a lot of my extensions, such as Helvetireader, are not allowed! Or there’s a conspiracy brewing…
Alert reader Wolf points out that—presumably due to a typo—Section 5 of the Safari Extension Gallery Submission Agreement currently reads, in part:
…In other words, those developers who have submitted extensions up to this point in time unintentionally promised that their extension(s)…

I just found this cool Dashboard widget for Mac. It does…
Lorem Ispum!
Not that impressive, I know, but useful. For example:
Sed nec diam eu diam mattis viverra. Nulla fringilla, orci ac euismod semper, magna diam porttitor mauris, quis sollicitudin.
All I had to do is mouse over the button, click, and paste. A cool feature of this is that the farther to the right you’ve moused from the left of the button you are currently mousing over, the more Lorem Ispum you get. It can prepare Lorem Ispum for a paragraph (used above), header, and list, and in plain text or HTML too!
In other words, go get it at http://tobiasahlin.com/blog/introducing-loremify/. Who knows when you’ll need some dummy text?
Etiam at risus,

Note: Written entirely in Dashboard using the Tumblet and Loremify, only leaving to copy the url from Safari.

Hello, it’s me again in my shiny new blog!
I’m here to talk about E3 right now. For people who don’t know what E3 is, it’s one of the biggest gaming related events and lots of cool stuff is shown there. I’ll be focusing on the Kinect and 3DS in this post. First, the Kinect. It was shown off yesterday along with the new XBOX 360 which Engadget gave a really cool nickname to. *Goes off and looks for it* The Stealthbox. Anyway, the Kinect had a working title of Project Natal. Some of the demos were a Breakout style game (cool), a game show (semi-cool), a game where you’re a blue monster (in a way, meh, but in another way, awesome!), and a racing game (awesome!). Microsoft showed off here a dance game, a racing game, a fitness game, and a lot more. I see the Kinect being good for quick play sessions because of the no-controller setup. Just turn on, play, turn off. Looks cool, really want one.
Next is the 3DS. First, cool wordplay in the name. The 3DS is a (no-suprise) 3D DS (or more so a 3D DSi). It gained a sliding round control thingie, a 3D screen on top, a 3D slider to adjust the amount of 3D, and two cameras on the outside for 3D pictures. Its screen looks nice, and Engadget’s hands on looked nice. I like it. Good job Nintendo!
Be back soon,

I’ve moved! Started fresh! Liking it! Using way to many exclamation points!
Yes, here is my new blog. Can’t wait to get Twitter integration working.
Well, better get to watching Mythbusters.
