Zep.pl

Holy. Crap. This is the single greatest thing I have ever seen. And, a Python port, Ruby port, and PHP port.

Beautiful Desk

This desk would look great with the new iMac. The cable drawer is much needed.

Revenue Growth

First off, someone kill me if I ever talk about “sources of revenue growth” intead of “making really cool products that people actually, you know, like and stuff.”

Piracy reduction can be a source of Windows revenue growth

Uno

What took me so long to run Uno on my PowerBook? I really thought brushed metal and pin stripes (they become more subtle with each release) were ok. Hopefully Apple will head in this direction with Leopard.

Finder looks much better now:

Learn Cocoa: Part II

The concept is to teach Cocoa, Xcode and Interface Builder basics without any assumptions about previous experience with C or IDEs. The approach is basically total immersion, so it’s a “learn by doing” thing.

Purple Cow

Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable. Purple Cow is an easy to read marketing book with a collection of short essays. It’s more inspirational and definitely not a how-to. There are used copies on Amazon.com for only $6.00. Quite a steal. Read more about Purple Cow.

Twitter

I decided to give Twitter a try. My user name is ‘nummi’.

I Love Easter Eggs

I just puchased a copy of Cha Ching (the fun and easy to use money manager, done Mac OS X style). I’m not sure how long this has been here, but I opened up the ‘About Cha-Ching’ window and clicked on the icon. It played some audio that sounds akin to the McDonalds “I’m Lovin’ It” theme. The company logo also hoots like an owl.

Speaking of Easter Eggs, here is something a little more geek. Type this into Terminal.app:

cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.history | grep "LOTR"
