Apple has released new PowerBook models. While these are not the rumored G5 PowerBooks, these new models do contain 1.5GHz and 1.67GHz G4 processors. These new models also include Bluetooth 2.0, a new trackpad with scrolling capabilities, Apple’s new Sudden Motion Sensor, AirPort Extreme built into every model, and an 8x SuperDrive built into some models and optional on others. The new PowerBooks start at $1499 (retail) and $1399 (educational).
This week, I’d like to continue with the “theme” established by Brian in last week’s Freeloader Friday and “farm-out” to a few different sources in order to show you some quick tips to get your first website off of the ground. Join me for this week’s Power User Monday.
Ok, so I’m a little bit early for my February update, but I just wanted to get this done. My Personal Library has finally been completed (until I buy something else)! If you want to trade or purchase, contact me via email and we’ll work something out. Current Library stats:
Books: 300 (complete)
Movies: 124 (complete)
Music: 64 + 281 iTMS purchases (complete)
Games: 7 (complete)
Solscape is a “Solar Data Browser” application that grabs real time, up to the minute images of the Sun in multiple light wavelengths. Solscape also monitors current Solar flare activity, Earth view satellite images, Solar geomagnetic activity, and Aurora activity. Solscape gets all of its information via the Internet and compiles it in a single, easy to use application. You can save and archive the data that Solscape collects for later use, and you can tell Solscape to automatically grab the data when you want.
Pros: Solscape is a fun and complete reference for all of your weather-watching, sun-staring, and aurora-gazing needs.
Cons: None significant.
The time has come for the grand unveiling of my new Gallery. As you can see, I enjoy photography, but I’m no professional. The pictures from “Alaskan Vacation 2002″ are probably the best, since I was able to hang out with the ship’s photographers. Please feel free to explore the Gallery, and remember that flash-photography is strictly forbidden. This gallery has been brought you by SimpleViewer and SimpleViewerAdmin.
The Gallery is in the beta stage, so if you see any bugs or have any comments/suggestions, please let me know.
Let me just say that MSN Search really likes me. Unfortunately, it has to be the worst search engine on earth. Sure, it’s in beta release, but way too many people are using it without realizing how poor this search engine is in its current state. For example, I’m the #5 result for a search of “recommended snes games”, the #6 result for “SNES games”, the #2 result for “Tux HeadPhones”, the #1 result for “finding good friend”, the #22 result for “latitude/longitude distance calculation”, the #2 result for “msn explore free”, and the #2 result for “outlookexpress”. So, if you want all of your searches to eventually lead to my site, please use MSN Search. If you want accurate results, please use Google.
