Get A Grip On Your Daily Life

I just thought I would pass along to all of you a great new website dedicated to the way all live now. The Managing Your Digital Life Podcast & Blog is a great destination for information on how to deal with all the electronic stuff you accumulate during your daily life. The folks there, like Scott Bourne and Andy Ihnatko, answer questions like: What sort of hard drive should I buy? How do I create a backup plan? What’s the difference between backup and archive?

They will provide tips, tricks, news and reviews relevant to the most up-to-date storage, backup and archiving systems. The goal is to help you take care of, manage, access and safely store/backup all your precious homework assignments, videos, photos, databases, music files and more.

MacBreak Dev

There is a new video podcast on the web that will be of interest to all developers and those on the geeky side. MacBreak Dev is in its second episode now. Join Alex Lindsay and the rest of the MacBreak team as they dive deep into developer tools that can re-shape your Mac.

In the first episode Keith Lang stops in to show us how to adapt a Wiimote for a 3D experience. In the second installment, Lang shows us how to control time with sound in Quartz Composer. Both sound good, and I can’t wait to see how this show develops over the coming months.
