Video App Lust: TubeTV, Lostify

Taking the agent out of the agency.
I don’t know where I have been for the last year, but I just came across SpotRunner.com via Chris Baggot’s blog.
I also found an old post on Seth Godin’s blog about this as well, and he sums it up best:

OS X Tip : Creating a Bootable backup on a FireWire Drive
Everyone knows to create a backup before you do an Archive and Install or any sort of system maintenance, but very few actually do it. A recent experience has shown me the value of creating a mirror of your computer onto an external drive. [...]

Today’s Apple News
I won’t say much about today’s news from Apple, other than I am kind of kicking myself for not being patient and saving myself 200 bucks. I knew this day would come, I just didn’t expect it so soon.

I am really excited about the wi-fi downloads. I’d prefer completely [...]

New iPods Next Week?
Something is cooking in Cupertino, according to The Unofficial Apple Weblog.
I really hope its just a new iPod that is an iPhone without the phone… Because it if it is something better I am going to cry.

Macbook Woe(s) or “How to recover accidentally deleted files from your Macbook”
So get this…
