This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. MacDevCentral is running a story about Tunaric a music analyzer that will, after a few seconds of listening to a song through your computers microphone, tell you what the song name is. I tried it out on a few popular songs, and it actually worked! I was really surprised, I really didn’t expect it to work that well.

The Webdings font has alot of common symbols that can be used in web-sites. For instance, the pause, fast-foward, play, etc symbols are all in the Webdings font. This might seem really obvious to seasoned designers, but I never knew this. You can find a listing of what symbols equal what keys on your keyboards here.

This year for Christmas I bought myself the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, and I have to say after about a month of use, this is one very nice keyboard. Before I got this keyboard I was using the standard Apple keyboard which caused my wrists to hurt after about 30min of typing. This keyboard doesn’t bother my wrists at all, the split design along with the elevated center really does relieve stress on my wrists. The programmable keys at the top are also very nice- and they are fully functional on OS X!..

Will Shipley has posted about a bounty for the first person to get Windows to successfully boot on an Intel Mac. When I first heard about Apple switching to Intel chips I immediately thought: “Wow! Linux, Windows, and OS X on one machine! That would be computer utopia!”. Unfortunately Apple decided to use the EFI instead of BIOS, so Windows XP wont boot on the current Intel Macs (Windows Vista might boot though…). It’ll be interesting to see if this is possible and if it ends up being accomplished.

Heres something I came across today, flip4mac, a free Quicktime plug-in that allows you to play Windows Media Player files in your Quicktime player. From the quick testing I’ve done, this Quicktime plug-in works alot better than Microsoft’s Windows Media Player. If your a mac user I’d recommend downloading it.

While working on the next version of XASH I came across a problem: I couldn’t seem to connect to a WebView which was a sub-view of a NSView which was a sub-view of a NSSplitView. The connector just wouldn’t select the WebView no-matter how I dragged my mouse over it. I did some research and came across a feature I never knew existed in interface builder, a hierarchical view of all the UI elements and object instances: The badly circled button on the right of the window allows you to access this view. This is really nice for easily setting up connections between controller objects and UI elements- you can easily select the UI elements no-matter how deep the UI elements are nested.
