Konfabulator

I just downloaded Konfabulator on my powerbook. It allows for widgets to be displayed on the desktop. There are tons of widgets out there that do anything from play minesweeper to show the top 5 processes.

This program is great because its very customizable and fun to use. Plus this is one more flashy, mac-only application to make my windows friends jelous.

Haircut

Me and my son went to go get our haircut this afternoon. Its really funny to me how he seriously enjoys just doing everyday activities with me. I enjoy it too. Its we both of us go out that I realize how he's a smaller version of me. Its really interesting what he notices and what he thinks about the world around him. He's a pretty deep thinker for a four year old.

I love the way my Mac smiles at me!


One of the coolest new features of Mac OS X 10.3 is secure delete. Secure delete removes the files in your trash, and then overwrites the location in the harddrive the information was stored. This makes it imposible to recover the files. This is great for security. I've used third part software to remove files with the Florida Air National guard. I think it's cool that this is built in to the OS.

Even better is this warning. I love the way the mac smiles at me, warning me what it's getting ready to do.
