An interesting essay analyzing Bob Marley’s Career.

Geoffrey Philp’s Blog Spot: Bob Marley and the Seven Chakras: “If you are a big tree, sings Marley in a perfect mixture of Rastafarian mythology and King James Bible lyricism, we are the small axe (Small Axe)”

Seven years ago on this date, I met Ana. I love you babe!

Yesterday they started selling tickets for this years Austin City Limits Music Festival. I woke up this morning and the Tier 1 ($90) tickets already sold out. I rushed to buy mine before the Tier 2 ($100) Sell out too.

Mozilla just released Firefox  1.5.0.2, which amongst other fixes is a Universal Binary.

Blizzard Entertainment - Inside Blizzard: General FAQ: “What is Blizzard’s plan for native Mac OS support, now that Boot Camp is available? We have a recognized track record of native Mac OS support, and we have no plans to break with that tradition. We understand that our Mac player base prefers native software whenever possible, and our cross-platform development practice addresses that.”

Props to Blizzard

Microsoft Readies ‘Monaco’ Competitor to Apple’s GarageBand: “Microsoft is still pushing full-steam-ahead with a music-making program, code-named ‘Monaco,’ according to Microsoft partners who requested anonymity. Monaco would be very similar to Apple’s GarageBand application, but would be optimized to take advantage of Windows Vista and the Aero user interface.”

“Very similar” as in, the same but not as cool.

A list of items a KDE developer thinks they should improve on.

Nine things KDE should learn from Mac OS X: “Hopefully you have learned some new things about OS X. I know that most Linux developers come from the Windows world so you know exactly what you are completing against there, but take the time to check out your competition on the OS X side. Not just from Apple. For example I recently downloaded the application ‘Colloquy’ which is a third party IRC client. After using it for a few minutes my impressions were that it was a better application that anything that we had. You might find that in OS X they are doing something you have never seen in Windows or Linux.”

I’m a little late posting this, but Apple just released the aptly named Boot Camp (Which I guess to them describes the Windows experience). It is a Mac application that lets you install XP on your Intel Mac. It prepares a driver disk (wow, actually managing drivers on a mac…), Installs a bootloader and launches the XP Install. I particularly enjoyed some of Apple’s sidebar comments:

Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old- fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries.

And…

Word to the Wise

Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it’ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes.

Update: I am not planning on defiling my MacBook Pro just yet. If I could install Windows on an external drive, I would consider it.
