Aimless wanderings from around the big ol’ interweb…
- Sleeveface
- My new favourite blog.

- Lab Tick
- Manually adjust the keyboard brightness on Apple laptops - something that's not supported by the OS.

- Remote Buddy
- Very impressive looking remote application for Apple Touch devices to control desktop Macs.
- Photo Aging Project
- Dan Hanna's pretty amazing photo-a-day project, which so far has two photos for every day for the past 17 years shot in sync with the rotation of the earth around the sun.
