The Watch

Happenings this past week.

• Microsoft's Surface announced
• Put This On episode 3 airs
  I particularly liked this one.
• The new IFTTT is revealed
  Can't say I use IFTTT for very much, but for the things that I do use it for it's truly fantastic. And this new update makes it even more fantastic.
• Scam School Book 2 released
• New YouTube design unveiled
  Does look to be better than the current one. But it was hard to be any worse. The current one sucks.
• TextExpander 4 is released
  And is no longer in the Mac App Store.
• Launch Center Pro is released
  It's much better than the original version of the app. And it is not a free update. In fact, it's $2.99 — and only for a limited time. Is it worth the price, though? Without a doubt.
• Tweetbot for Mac teased
  Let's not go too crazy… Oh, hell. Go crazy.

Gems in the Rough

The best links, sites, videos, and things you should see from this past week.

• Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates
  Another "Epic Rap Battle of History". And this one may well be my favorite.
• An interview with Adam Savage
  Of MythBusters fame. But you knew that already. And it's a good interview, too.
• "Noisy" wallpaper by Kyle Gray
  Another great wallpaper from Mr. Gray. It's the one that I am currently using on my iPhone.
• Teaser trailer for Monster's University
  Looks like this is going to be a good movie. Coming next summer.
• Apple's new iPad commercial "Do It All"
• The perfect iTunes equalizer setting
  This is indeed a very old link, but it came up again this week and it's imperative that every geek know about this.
• Unknowing Agreement
  A very interesting point.
• Bluelounge
  A great Mac accessory site that I found this week.
• The 2-Minute Rule
  Showed me once again that there is still much to GTD that I do not know about. And I really think this 2-Minute rule thing is going to help me.
• How to pronounce Uranus
  I love C.G.P. Grey.

Tweet of the Week

I can't complain about Twitter being down if Twitter is down!
