New Site - whyangels?com

I’ve recently got a new site going at: www.whyangels.com

It’s a sister site to whychristmas?com and whyeaster?com but you guessed it, is about angels!

Ever wondered what angels are? What they look like or do? Well the site answers those questions (and more!) from what the Bible has to tell us about angels.

Oh Preview!

Having recently made the jump from PC to Mac, the one program I really missed was Picasa (I have parallels and can run it from there - but it takes a while…).

I’m sure many know the fab new ‘basic’ image tools in 10.5 preview - but I’ve just found them and, well cool!  Basic resize, crop and colour adjustments all within preview, a great little time saver.

news on whychristmas?com

I’ve got a blog going on my Christmas site whychristmas?com!  I’ll be using it for updates, thoughts and possibly even the advent calendar! Excting stuff ;-)

And some more great news about whychristmas?com is that it’s now part of the Merry Network, a group of like minded Christmas sites.

This year should be the biggest and best Christmas yet!

songbird, from the guys behind winamp …

… with some good stuff by mozilla/vlc/lots of other clever people!

I was installing this: http://userstyles.org/styles/2318 in FF this morning (and wow it’s nice, makes google reader even better ;-) and saw in the list of supported programs ‘songbird‘. Not heard of that I thought. A new things from mozilla?! So after a google I found: http://songbirdnest.com/ and even though it’s still in developer build, it looks very impressive.

Imported my itunes library (except things from the itunes store) great, found all the vids on my system (in all formats but doesn’t seem to like flv at the mo) and plays things very nicely. And it’s SO FAST! There’s no lag at all when clicking to play videos or music.

And having surfing as built in (but using a decent browser) is also great. Think of it like having firefox, itunes and divx in one program! I’ve not tried the ipod support yet…

Once this gets into a fully working program, I think it’s gonna turn a lot of heads!
