Mac OS X Sound Effect Song, Very Clever and Amusing
If you're a Mac person, this will make you chuckle. Someone took the OS X sound effects and created a song. It's not a run away pop hit...but it's enjoyable. Some people are very clever...and have too much time on their hands.

Batteries Plus? Who needs a store dedicated to batteries? Turns out, I do!
The other day, my mildly crunchy wife asked I take her to lunch, then drive to Batteries Plus so she could recycle a bag of old batteries she's been carrying around in her car for months. She had discovered online, Batteries Plus recycles them.

Could Spezify.com be the next Google?
I stumbled across Spezify.com while browsing web magazines at a Barnes & Noble. I immediately tried to check it out on my iPhone but couldn't because it requires Flash - but I bookmarked it and took a look later. And it may live up to the boast.

Learn to Spell
Around the office, I'm known as a bit of a spelling Nazi. I've always been a good speller, and I will admit that I get more than a little upset at some pretty common misspellings.

Apple's rumored tablet Mac will probably be very cool and very useful
I recently had the opportunity to configure a client's ModBook - this is a conversion kit for a MacBook that makes it a tablet (pen-based tablet Mac). It was cool, but not terribly easy to use for day-to-day stuff, but I suspect Apple will do it right.
