Cool Things
Okay, two cool things - one for the homeowner in you, one for the mac geek.
Leafblower. Damn. I bought a $70 leafblower back in early November to deal with the plethora of pine needles that had carpeted our front driveway. And that was pretty damn cool. But on Sunday I took it up on the roof to clear the leafs, pine needles, and detrius-clogged gutters. Holy moly! Took less than half the time it would normally take to sweep the roof and hand-muck the gutters, and the gutters are clean.
Coverflow. I saw what looked to be a neat little app on Jon Hick's desktop, and googled for it. What I found was a "tech demo" of a neat little app that loads all your iTunes album artwork, and lets you flip through it like you're hunting through your physical CD collection. If it can, I'll go out and hunt down your artwork from Amazon (which has an amazing library of CD cover art). Apple needs to buy this thing up now and integrate it into iTunes - major cool factor.
