Links for January 3rd
Merlin Mann | Jan 3 2008
- 1Password to Rule Them All at LifeClever - Chanpory reviews the game-changing 1Password. I think I've tried to make it my Pick of the Week on MacBreak Weekly about 3 times now. One of the truly indispensable OS X apps, and Chanpory shows you why. (Loving the graphical password strength meter in the latest beta)
- Market share for browsers, operating systems and search engines - "Apple's market share rose 7.5% for the Mac and 33% for the iPhone in a single month." Wow. That ain't hay.
- TVShows automatically downloads your favourite shows If you don't mind getting your IP address stuck in the door (and, IMO, you should), bit torrent can bring much bounty to your Mac. This OSS app grabs the torrent for your favorite TV shows (not the actual video file) then passes it along to your BT app to complete the work on your dirty little scheme. Neat idea. [via JimRay (but you didn't hear it from me either)]
- 30 Minute Clutter Solution - Good Housekeeping - Useful series of articles (hidden behind an un-useful form UI) gives tips on how to deal with many of the problematic clutter attractors in your world. Try the medicine cabinet or mail and keys for practical advice on problem areas.
- Beat the Press Archive | The American Prospect - There's something weirdly Mythical Man-Month about replacing your best employees with noobs in order to save short-term money. Bonehead decisions like this have your "shareholder value" swinging. [via Daring Fireball]
- San Francisco Storms | Ask MetaFilter - I'll admit that San Francisco's lack of real weather has made this Florida boy into a nervous nelly; we're headed for supplies at the Home Depot this morning...because it might be a little windy. Friends back in Tallahassee are surely pointing and laughing right now. As is appropriate.
- Will You Look At That - Until I do that long-overdue post on "Amazing sites I look at all day but that you may not know about," enjoy entry #1: this nicely-curated collection of cool photos from Flickr.
- Movie-Montage.com - Training Montages - Oh, sure you've got Rocky eating lightning and crapping thunder, but who can forget "Hungry Eyes" from Dirty Dancing? Oh, Baby, nobody puts you in a corner. Nobody. [via MeFi]
