Come Pick Me Up
“I wish you would / Come pick me up / Take me out / Fuck me up / Steal my records / Screw all my friends / Theyre all full of shit / With a smile on your face / And then do it again.”
Ryan Adams, “Come Pick Me Up”.
Meandering [RSS]
Aimless wanderings from around the big ol’ interweb…
- Sleeveface
- My new favourite blog.
- Offbeat Guides
- A really neat new service for compiling custom travel guides, which are then available as a PDF or in print. The events list for around the time of your stay is particularly nice.
- KavaMovies
- An interesting new application for managing your movie collection. With a few more features, this could be quite useful.
- Cursebird
- What the f#@! is everyone swearing about on Twitter?
- Ack In Project
- A Textmate bundle for using ack for project searches in Textmate. It's a ton quicker than the built in project search.
- TinEye
- Impressive image search technology which aims to find similar matches to images across the web.
- Multicolr Flickr Search
- Search 10 million Flickr images by colour.
- Kayak
- A really powerful flight search tool. I really like the interactive sliders for refining flight times, trip durations and the like. I'm surprised I haven't heard of this before!
- Lab Tick
- Manually adjust the keyboard brightness on Apple laptops - something that's not supported by the OS.
- HostsWidget
- Allows manipulation of /etc/hosts right from the dashboard. It also flushes the DNS cache automatically.
- Zattoo
- Live streaming of pretty much all UK terrestrial channels. It seems to work really well.
- The Twitterverse On Glossy Displays
- Considering Apple's seemingly relentless desire to give us all glossy displays, the consensus doesn't seem to be pro-gloss. That's because glossy displays are WRONG.
- Earth From Above
- A fantastic looking photographic exhibition in New York, running in May and June next year. See today's Boston Big Picture for many great photos from the photographer, Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
- 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.
