Birds of Wales announce homecoming show/party/dinner

We’re putting on an evening of music, food, and fun times at a place called Mitzi’s Sister on Queen St next Friday the 8th of September. It should be a pretty good gig. You pay what you can to get in, buy yourself some food and drinks (its a dinner party of sorts), and be entertained by Birds of Wales, and also a set by Morgan Ross.

Come on out! Yeah!

Cool map of Starbucks & McDonalds taking over the world

I found this interesting image on Digg:
This pair of maps show the global presence of Starbucks coffee shops and McDonald’s restaurants. When examined graphically, both companies act as global hubs that connect some of the world’s poorest, most remote countries with some of the wealthiest. Very cool yet freaky at the same time!

HTTPMail Plugin for Tiger

THANK GOD! I’ve been waiting forever (since I got this new mac) to get this plugin. Its been a while since they updated their code, but its finally here. HTTPMail Plugin for Apple Mail. Its a plugin that lets you access your Hotmail account from within Apple Mail. Its pretty awesome, and I don’t know what I would do without it. I absolutely HATE logging into Hotmail through their web admin.

Click here to get it

Thanks again to the people at Automagic Software who created this wonderful plugin that has made my life so much easier!!!

New Apple OSX Features

This could be old news, and probably is.. I suspect this video was released while I was away.. Either way, its pretty cool, and if this feature is included in 10.5, i’ll probably be discontinuing my use of Virtue Desktop.
