A smattering of opinions on technology, books, business, and culture. Now in its 4th technology iteration.

* Tweetdeck. Duh. * ECMerge. I complained to Scooter Software about the lack of a mac version of BeyondCompare, they kindly suggested ECMerge or Araxis Merge. Araxis is way too expensive. ECMerge is solid but I still pine for BeyondCompare. * Toast Titanium. I want a way to watch my Tivo shows on my mac and Toast seems to be the way to go. Seems to work well. * MATLAB. I’m a sucker for math software. Only reasonable if you are an active student or your employer buys it for you. * VLC. Another duh. THE way to watch wmvs on a mac (and UW lectures are all delivered in wmv format).
Oh and on the PC I am so in love with Steam. I don’t even think about CD-based games anymore. Why isn’t all Windows software delivered this way? Why hasn’t Microsoft purchased Valve?
