I love this feature in Lion OS

I used to always use Quicksilver to quickly look up words while I'm reading. With Lion, all you need to do is double-tap with three fingers and voila, a little pop-over window appears à la iPad with the definition and a synonym. 

It's the attention to detail that sells me.

If this is a sign to come, I'm without a doubt buying Watch the Throne. 

Dabbling with Time lapse

My first time lapse video.....actually my first anything video.

 

I took the pictures and rendered the movie using iMotion HD on my iPhone 4. Did some quick post-editing and added a soundtrack on iMovie. I can't believe how easy it was....it's practically insulting to those who put countless hours making things like this. 

 

And one more thing....I couldn't find my Glif, I'm certain I actually lost it. So I used Bluelounge's CableDrops as an impromptu iPhone stand. Works perfectly with the iPhone 4. 

 

The Bicycle City

Something that you and I take for granted is literally pulling these people out of poverty. It's allowing them to go. Go to work. Go to school.

It's the little things that make the difference; cannot be any truer.

A must read on the state of Egypt and what needs to be done next

The NDP and the Islamists are two faces to the same coin, and neither can be allowed to control this country ever again.

A great post and a must read by Youth activist Sandmonkey, appropriately titled Playing Politics.

It's essentially one of the many things that the people of Jan25 must do in order to ensure that Egypt doesn't get sidetracked or better yet, hijacked.
