So I just got my Griffin Elevator stand for my laptop, and I’m using it now. Just wanted to say, for anyone out there using their laptop-as-a-desktop for any length of time, this thing is the best £25 you can spend.
The machine is raised up approximately 4-5″ and tilted at a slight angle, which puts […]

So it looks like my new setup is going to be a 15″ MacBook Pro + Extra Big Ass Monitor™, rather than the 17″ or 20″ iMac + 12″ iBook setup I’ve been rocking for the past few years. My approach has always been, until recently, to have a powerful desktop setup and a […]

 Well, given that the current iPod is 4.1″x2.4″, if they shave 1″ off the height, and keep the screen size the same, they’ll have to shrink the Click Wheel and possibly end up with something like this. Given the dimensions, I wouldn’t be surprised if the final form factor is closer to a square (the face […]

I’ve been tinkering with the original file they linked, which essentially presented 3 objects (Near, Middle, Far) that rotated periodically. […]

Well folks. We have a widget. Ok, so it’s not exactly groundbreaking. It may not even work. Heck, it doesn’t even have an icon, but hey, it’s a start. So if you want to check it out, download DayBreak here.

Well I’ve got the basics of the javascript behind DayBreak working in a webpage. You can check it out here. (Only tested in Safari/Webkit, obviously.)
