iBAM reader @smorgasbord shot me this YouTube link this morning. What a cool use of a Mac! Thanks bro for the link!

Enjoy!

DIGG THIS POST

There’s a new Twitter app on the streets, it’s called TwitterFone! It’s pretty simple but it’s backed up by some freaking awesome technology. In a nutshell, TwitterFone makes it possible to “tweet” through Twitter without having to type or text anything. You just talk and it transcribes it for you and posts it to your Twitter account.

TwitterFone launched this last week (May 6th to be exact) and has had over 15,000 signups in the last 4 days thanks to some really cool people helping promote the new service. I caught Pat Phelan (the idea guy) on the road and even got a chance to ask him a few super quick questions about the new startup. Here’s how our little convo went:

Keeping Your Mac Cool

Ever find yourself breaking out into a sweat while typing an email or browsing the Internet? I do and it’s not because I live in Arizona (although that does assist). It’s because my “not so laptop friendly laptop” tends to get a little toasty at times. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Mac, but sometimes it gets to thinkin’ too hard and making me sweat because it’s turned itself into an all too efficient lap warmer. Not my favorite use for my Mac, I’ll admit. So what do I do about it, you might ask? (Well, thanks for asking). I use SMC Fan Control for all my laptop cooling needs. (This is starting to sound like an infomercial, I think)

Shop iBoughtAMac etc. at CafePress

Ok… So, I got quite a lot of pressure today to open a CafePress Store after posting Cadie’s onesie pics. So, I took my sheets of iron-on’s and the art I had made for the iBAM Tees and uploaded the whole sha-bang to CP for anyone to posses. That said, if you want one of Cadie’s onesies, a semi-spendy front only printed tee or a pretty cool mug, swing by and do your worst. I’ll try to add more stuff as I think of it (or as you suggest it). All proceeds will go to help out here at iBAM. Just remember that if you buy something, please send me a link to a pic of you and/or your iBAM swag. I really geek out over that stuff! Rock on!

Edit Photos Right In Your Browser With Picnik

Have you heard about Picik? It’s one of the coolest things I have seen in a very long time. I am a long time Photoshop user and will be for quite a while longer, but in my dealings with clients of my design services, I have one re-occurring issue that rears it’s ugly head nearly every time I complete a project.

 

“I don’t have Photoshop, so how do I edit photos for my new website?”

Previously, I would be forced to recommend one of several options that were met with all sorts of responses. Here are snippets from some of my conversations: [Continued]
