Some cool OSX apps

Time for some geek posts.

But before that, something totally out of topic: I was listening to the latest Stupid Church People podcast and would like to share something that was said about blindly accepting religion. It should be clarified though that the statement only applies to people who simply follow religion blindly – if you are confident about all aspects of your faith, then this probably doesn’t apply (though I dare say that it should, because no one should be so arrogant to assume that they are sure about something they couldn’t possibly fully understand). Anyways the gist of it was:

The trouble with religion is that it tries to kill the questions more than it tries to provide the answers.

Amen.

Now back to geekdom.

If you’re an apple user, if you do websites, if you know what’s good for you, get these apps now!

Once and for all

Don’t you just love weblogs? Whenever there’s an issue, I can always go back to it and smile while I vindicate myself 🙂

A friend posted in her blog how someone she doesn’t know messaged her out of the blue in her Friendster account to engage in some mundane chitchat, only to find out that she ended up talking about me and pertaining to an issue that’ s supposed to have been resolved ages ago.

Before I continue, I would like to refer you to past posts for the lowdown of what has happened…

Then, I will continue on what has happened since then and what will happen now – once and for all.

No names will be mentioned as usual, since I still want to be a good person and give the individual a chance to back-off.

What Happened?

Here’s how it started

Here’s how it supposed to have ended

Obligatory birthday post

This will also be the test-run of the footnote plugin I’ve just installed. I’ve been in contact with the developer via email, and we’re sorting out bugs and sharing notes. He was also gracious enough to give me his Ecto plugin for me to use.

Anyways, today is like any other day (as are all my b-days) difference is we had to get up at 5 past for a 6am mass. What was interesting though was yesterday. Where I had a car accident.

Harry Potter 6 discussion (SPOILER)

Just finished listening to the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince audiobook. The narrator was really good! I actually found myself laughing out loud at some of the mundane humor inserted throughout the book, which I knew wouldn’t be that funny if simply read and “imagined.” Amazing how far delivery can contribute in the immersion of literature.

Anyways, I’ve got nothing better to do this morning so I thought I’d like to talk about the book of course that is to say that:
