ShadyURL: Make Your URLs Scary!
Feb 28th
Have you ever wanted ot scare your Twitter followers? ShadyURL.com is a service which lets you do exaztly that. ShadyURL takes your URLs, then turns them into something that will scare the people who look at them. It’s like a URL shortener like Bit.ly or TinyURL, except not at all. ShadyURL makes your links longer, but most importantly, makes them scary.
ShadyURL doesn’t really do anything useful, unless you think making people not want to click on certain links is useful. It is a fun service but is deferentially not a service that you would need to use daily.

Switching Over to OS X
Feb 23rd
Yes, I switched over to OS X! Last Sunday I walked over to my local Apple store and bought the 2.53Ghz Mac mini. 4GB of RAM. 320GB hard drive. After using it for a few days, I LOVE IT! It’s great! Fast, small, and elegant, I love the Mac mini.
This is just a short and quick post. I just wanted to announce to everyone that I am now a Mac. Do you know of any good Mac apps that I should download? I have been testing out a few and will be doing some reviews on them later.

Probably some of the most valuable data on my computer. Gone. Luckily, I had all my iTunes music on my iPhone. After doing a little searching, I ran across an application called iRip by The Little App Factory. I read about it a little more, More >
My Thoughts On Google Buzz
Feb 10th
As you may already know, Google has recently launched something called Google Buzz. In this post I will be telling you more about Google Buzz and I will also be sharing my opinions on the service.
How is Google Buzz different?
In my opinion, Buzz is not a copy of Facebook, nor is it a copy of Twittr. Buzz is simply in-between. It is not as complicated as facebook, but is also not as simple as twitter. What makes it different than Twitter is the fact that Buzz lets you comment on other peoples updates and it also lets you upload photos. More >

Tweetie (Website) (Review) Do you tweet? Have an iPhone? Why not tweet on your iPhone? Tweetie is a great app for doing this and it’s also my primary Twitter client for the iPhone. It is clean, simple, and quite useful. The app supports the new version of ReTweets, and GeoTagging as well.
