Facebook has revolutionized social networking as well as the entire World Wide Web. It’s ever evolving enhancements make it the single most desirable social networking tool available.
More and more people and organizations are joining Facebook daily. Did you know that more than 2.5 billion photos are uploaded each month? Amazing!

16Jan The Future of Music – Technolust
It’s been a long time since I have seen a musical instrument that could revolutionize the world of music. Sure, synthesizers and mixers have been around for a while, but this is crazy cool.
The Eigenharp is an electronic instrument that has an infinite range of sound. Folks, this is no Keytar. Check out the G4 video below to see the Eigenharp in action.
Eigenharp ‘Alpha’ – Available in a variety of finishes, it has 120 highly sensitive keys, 12 percussion keys, 2 strip controllers, a breath pipe and numerous pedal inputs. This gives almost endless possibilities for flexible keyboard layouts, fast instrument switching and expressive musical control. The comprehensive software system provides a wealth of musical performance features, including playback of its own native instruments, many common software plugins, soundfonts or midi instruments.
Amazing- A bit pricy however. The ‘Alpha’ starts around 5k!

06Jan Widget Love ♥ Keep Your Widgets and Apps Updated
There are two widgets that I load on every single Mac system I touch. “App Update” and “Widget Update” are absolute musts. These widgets created by Georg Kaindl save me so much time.
I have tons of apps and a loads of widgets… Keeping them updated used to be a serious pain in the arse. Since I discovered these lovelies- life is so much sweeter.
Launch the Widget pane and simply hit “Refresh” on either widget and it will tell you what apps/widgets updates are available. The app/widget name is listed with version/rev number. Click the link and you can download the new version instantly.
App Update
Automatically check for updates to your installed software. It supports Apple’s software directory, MacUpdate and Version Tracker. It will present you with a tidy link list of all the updates found, enabling you to read release-notes and download the the updates quickly and painlessly.

31Dec Free Books Online; Seriously- They’re Free
I can’t believe I have never stumbled across the E-Books Directory website before. E-Books Directory has nearly three thousand e-books listed in over four hundred categories. Damn Skippy!
E-Books Directory is a free web resource which contains links to free downloadable e-books, technical papers, documents, as well as user contributed content, articles, reviews and comments. E-Books Directory is a service to students, researchers and e-book lovers.
E-Books Directory has everything from Cooking to Computer Programming books. I just grabbed some PHP programming goodies. This weekend I think I will peruse the Photography and Web Development sections.

29Dec Dr. Visit #10 (Fill #4)
With all the holiday shuffle I neglected to post my last doctor appointment recap. Sorry!
I have not lost anything since my last visit. I seem to be loosing and gaining the same three pounds over and over.
I have not been eating the best foods but I have certainly been improving my diet over the past several months. I really have not had any restriction with the previous three fills. I have been able to eat anything.
At the last visit I received another 1cc fill. I now have 8.5cc’s in my band and I finally have some restriction. It’s about damn time! So far I can still eat any type of food however it must be chewed well and moist.
French fries (I know, I know) and chicken seem to be the worst. French fries really do not go down well and dry chicken is just not worth the fight.
When I eat too fast or too much I feel like I am having a heart attack. The food simply sits at the band and sends pain out to your chest. The pain quickly dissipates as the food goes down. It is a clear way of telling you to either slow down, chew or stop.
I hope with this fill and my exercise program I will see some forward progress again. The holidays and all the crap that comes along with them have certainly not been helping my progress.
I am really going to focus on me in 2010. Time to get back on the train and ride it all the way into the station. I am ready for another fill (yes I want it) to further restrict my intake.
27Dec 2010 – Why Does That Number Look so Strange?
Two thousand and ten; it still sounds so far away! I remember when I was a kid and 2010 was the “future”! Well the future is now; yet it does not seem any less strange.
We still don’t have flying cars or tele-porters. Food is not magically cooked in automated ovens. We don’t have laser pistols and we have not been attacked by aliens from outer space (yet).
What happened to the 90’s? Where did the 80’s go? Does anyone even remember the 70’s? Time – the hands of time just turn and turn and turn… It is hard to fathom the things we have seen. I simply can not imagine what amazing things are to come.
I guess I just have to embrace 2010. Most likely 2011 will be here before I remember to write 2010 on my checks.
