I actually tweeted about this not too long ago, and at the time I mentioned I could only find the song on the artist’s MySpace page. Unfortunate, because I like to meter my time on that website as much as possible. Anyways, I was jonesing to hear it again today but was both sad and delighted that Bis removed it and added some new tracks, and so my focus shifted to YouTube. Here it is, “Do This” by Canibus and Chino XL. I really like the hook in this song, and even though his verse is short I can never get it out of my head:
I’ve got another application screencast for you this weekend. This time I talk about a handy little video-streaming program called Livestation. It lets you get news (and other TV channels from around the world) delivered right to your desktop. Thanks for watching, as always. =)
Here’s my video post for the week. I decided that since I did a video about Dropbox, and since I sort of criticized Microsoft during that video for not rolling out Mac support with Live Mesh, I’d go ahead and follow up now that that support is available. Live Mesh is a lot like Dropbox with some unique features that make it either better or worse, depending on your point a view. Take a look and leave a comment if you have anything to say! Thanks for watching!
Pandora Radio has changed the way I’ve listened to music. It’s the most powerful music recommendation application I’ve ever used, and it’s led to me spending a lot on new albums. If you’re a music lover looking to broaden your horizons, check it out at pandora.com.
In this video not only do I talk about Pandora Radio, but some complementary tools to improve your Pandora listening experience. The first tool is PandoraBoy, a Google Code project that runs Pandora as an application (OSX only, but Pandora also has a platform-independent Adobe AIR application). This is cool for a couple reasons – first of all, it lets you cut out the big advertisements that are on Pandora.com and in the Adobe AIR version of Pandora, and secondly it adds some functionality (Growl notifications, keyboard shortcuts) which only a desktop application can deliver.
The second tool is a plugin for Adium, which is (in my opinion) the best instant messenger client for OSX. The script lets you use whatever is playing in PandoraBoy as your Adium status. If you’ve used iTunes to show your Now Playing song in Adium you’ll know what I mean. Check out the video and leave a comment! Thanks for watching!
I wrote a post some time ago about Dropbox. It’s an awesome online storage solution for backup, syncing and sharing your files. Despite having written about it I was still inclined to do a video showing how the whole thing works, so that’s exactly what I did. I even compared it to Live Mesh a bit so that’s a bit of a bonus. Thanks for watching!
Alrighty so let me first apologize for not getting a post up on Thursday. I was kinda busy this past week so I never got around to it. Instead, I’ve decide to record a video of what I would have written about on Thursday, which as you might guess was Apple’s notebook event from this past Tuesday. Here you go, she’s a two-parter:
This week’s video is another short walkthrough of a handy web application. This one’s called Pixlr (at pixlr.com) and it lets you do some in-depth image editing from inside your web browser. The interface is really slick and reminds me a lot of Photoshop. Pixlr’s great if you are at a machine that doesn’t have your favorite image editing application installed and you need to do some image work, especially if you’re a Photoshop user because you’ll be instantly familiar with Pixlr. Thanks for watching!
Here’s my video for the week, a review of an extremely useful application called Wallet. Sure, it might not be the flashiest app you’ve ever seen, but it provides some pretty handy functionality!
