I really love Rene Magritte, so what could then be better than to place him on my MacBook Pro? Etsy.com has some great dekals for $13. But which is best?

Laptopstand like iCurve (or Elevator as it is now called) are great. But you might wanna go cheaper. Like MacGuyer you can use paper and cardboard: http://www.cardboardlaptopstand.co.uk/

But why pay, when you can create it yourself!? Laptop cardboard tutorial

Or even from a clothhanger.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ODskdEPnQ] Just got a Beta invite and installed BumpTop on my PC. Its really fun! Suprisingly not slow either. Doubt this will be the future for user interface, but great new thinking. And might be good on handhelds?

I have been on Twitter for a couple of months, but never really got the point. Probably also cause no one else in Norway got it either. I only had ONE friend/follower on Twitter. That was Tim. But over the last months, suddenly everyone seems to be on Twitter. And when the biggest Norwegian newspapers like VG and Dagbladet have journalist like my friend Snorre Bryne (Dagbladet) using it actively communicating with his readers and having Twitter streams in their articles AND Twingly, then you know its become mainstream in Norway too. The widespread popularity of the iPhone has increased the usage too.

Any-ways, having a blog I mixed that up with Twitter with TwitterFeed (its just really a feed from my blog to my twitter account) and then having the Twitter application in Facebook feeding from Twitter to my Facebook status field, suddenly I have created a little mashup and am so proud!

BUT, I dont own an iPhone, but obviously want to spam everyone with meaningless trivia from my daily life. So what to do? Tata!! I found the solution: Jitter. A tiny free Java application created by Abiro. It works on pretty much any phone supporting MIDlets. Such as my old w810i. Technology is wonderful! Hurrah!

My very first Windows gadget is ready to download ! Created it with Kim EBN from the Online department in Microsoft Norway. I designed it, he programmed it. Its a countdown to the events in 4 different cities.

Yet another iTunes application I found on the net. Looks good, but I would have to have my Mac online 24/7… http://www.codewave.de/products/mytunesrss “MyTunesRSS allows you to access the music and videos from your iTunes library or any simple watch folder over a local network or even the internet. You can access your music from all over the world using a simple web browser.” Seems good. Has anyone tried this?

Havent tried this application yet, but seems promising. Finally a manner of cleaning up the chaotic iTunes library with TuneUp:

FluidTunes from Majic Jungle Software. Scroll your library in iTunes waving your hands in front of your Apple Mac. Havent tested this one yet, but seems like a pretty cool app.

Swedish Sallinger has done it again!

Salling Media Sync synchronizes playlists, music, and podcasts from iTunes onto your mobile phone. It’s free to use, but when registered it intelligently updates your phone, which is much faster.

The Remote Buddy application supports just about any remote hardware that is available for the Mac. Its kind of like a pimped up version of FrontRow. Here is the video showing all features. The site has a good overview over all possible hardware solution for enabling remote control over old Macs.
