Currently available on the Mac (beta version available for you Windows users), this cool piece of software gets a streaming feed of some of the coolest desktop wallpapers on the internet. You can set a refresh rate of several minutes to hours or days and it is constantly getting updated with fresh content. If you find one you like, just head up to your menu bar and pause the feed and the desktop will stay there until you tell it to resume. You can even skip forwards or backwards to find the desktop that you just absolutely have to have.

You really should go check it out. No, seriously, click the logo above or this link –> (Desktoptopia.com) and GO CHECK IT OUT! You’ll thank me, really you will. Ok, nothing else to see here, move along now.

Looking back now . . . I wish I would have bought it sooner! This is an absolute sweet device. The user interface is spectacular, it just makes sense! Now for those of you that know me, I am an avid fan of Apple. I’ve owned a couple of their computers now and I’ve always enjoyed using them. I try to avoid being too big of an Apple fan boy but well they seem to just get customers. I sure hope they keep this up!

The camera comes with all original equipment which includes a battery, a Canon 18-55mm lens, strap, software, manuals, etc (all in the original box). I’m also including a 256 MB Compact Flash card. I’m asking $550 for all of this. If you are interested, please send me an email or IM.

I have been pining for some time to get my hands on an invitation to try Google Analytics (which is still in official beta testing). Well, I received that invitation early last week and immediatly began to implement the code on my website. In 5 min., data was being collected and within a few days I could begin to see trends on my site.

Google isn’t currently accepting open requests for the service but you can request an invitation as they become available: http://analytics.google.com

That’s when I stumbled across Adium X, then in its 0.40 life cycle. Adium is currently up to 0.89.1 and they are fast closing in on the much-anticipated 1.0 release of their software. Now some of you may consider using anything pre 1.0 release as unsafe. Adium is very stable software for chatting that in my opinion works much better than iChat. Now, it might mess something up every now and again but all in all, a very stable chat client.

Adium also has a host of modifications or Xtras as they are called that can be used to custom tailor Adium to suite your personal tastes. These vary for contact list (buddy list) layout, message styles, sounds, notifications, dock icons, etc. All of which can be updated via Adium Preferences with no need for other applications.

Now surely with all my lauded praise, Adium must have some faults, and it does. Adium can’t handle file transfers as well as other AIM based clients. This is due in large part to a user’s firewall/router settings as well as the open source framework, libgaim, that Adium is based off. Adium also has no integrated support for audio or video chat. Thus if you are a fan of your iSight – you’ll still need to use iChat.

With all that said I found the following article today quite funny in regards to all of the Boot Camp hype going on. I must say however, great marketing move on the part of Apple who’s stock soared 10% after the Boot Camp announcement.
