  • 8.11.07 One More Mood Swing posted in Geekery

    If you’re digging MoodSwing, grab this version. It adds more dependability, and iTunes support and current weather ability. Use the instructions in this entry, but you can now use !itune to insert the currently playing iTunes track. And, modified from a Colloquy script, you can type an exclamation point followed by your 5 digit zip code to insert the current weather for your area. So !55987 will come out in the format “Right now in Winona: Sunny and 76°, 56% humidity.”

  • 6.22.07 Pandora Better posted in Geekery

    PandoraJam ScreenshotI have a new favorite Pandora interface: PandoraJam. It’s a native Cocoa app (Mac only) that gives you keyboard shortcuts for Pandora, last.fm scrobbling and recording to iTunes with album cover tagging. It’s shareware ($15).

  • 9.2.06 The music war is on. DRM shields up. posted in marketing

    Samsung has joined the fray, along with Microsoft, Myspace and Spiral Frog/Universal to compete with iTunes. More options, more music, right? DRM issues aside, here’s my biggest problem. With the exception of Myspace, they all seem to be planning proprietary formats that can only be used on certain brands of players. […]
