You’re just out of one fire and hold your breath to dive into the next one. Or two. How many times before did I feel exactly same?

Я сидел в баре, уплетал за обе щёки сэндвич и запивал “Капучино”. Эта их еда была чертовски хороша. Вчера я пробовал салат с креветками, сыром и зеленью, но сегодня пришёл к выводу, что сэндвичи мне нравятся больше.

Это было самое замечательное место в мире — полуподвальное помещение, в котором смущённо приютился стрип-бар. Всё здесь отдавало некоей неустроенностью, как если бы давний знакомый вынужден был попросить остановиться у тебя на выходные и поставил рамочку с фотографией жены на столик в комнате для гостей, не смея потеснить царящий на нём хлам.

Spotted a cool video:

A SHORT LOVE STORY IN STOP MOTION from Carlos Lascano on Vimeo.

I’ve always had awkward relationship with music on Mac since the inception. First of all, since day one I realized I’d like a simple, fast, and tiny music player instead of iTunes. David vs Goliath. Too bad it seemed that there just wasn’t one. I searched and couldn’t find anything matching the requirement.

So I listened to music using iTunes. It felt my pain and became even bigger and cumbersome with all these iPhone-related additions. Now iTunes is so much more than a music player so it’s not a music player any more.

I am not an active music listener at all. That is why I beared with iTunes for so long – it just gladly intensified my non-musical being. I’ve recorded music with GarageBand and Logic Express but I just hardly listened to music on my Mac at all.

Until yesterday when I said “fuck that”. I fired up Google search without too much hope and found Vox on VersionTracker. Looks like it just launched but already does the good job.

AleNofx revolutionized playing music on Mac OS X the way Apple itself revolutionized a lot of other things – with a simple and elegant solution.

I’ve come across the best Twitter client for Mac OS X – Nambu. The biggest difference between it and others is because it’s a native Mac app, not an Adobe Air resource hog.

What’s in it? It’s fast, it’s free, it’s configurable, it has features like retweeting, multiple accounts, saved searches, tracking new tweets, etc. And the last but not the least it’s smooth-looking, and fast! Did I say it’s fast?

It also has support for other services, not only Twitter, but do I care. If you are on a Mac there’s absolutely no reason to not use Nambu. Dump the others. Really. Now. Install Nambu.

Heres another test of iPhone Wordpress. Here I tried to insert an image:

I wonder how this software can be so buggy but nobodys shouting? Right, because nobody would blog from iPhone.
