  • OpenOffice 3.0 beta is live

    You can now download yourself a copy of the first beta release of OpenOffice 3.0 for Mac OS X. This is the first version to run natively on the Mac and not require X11.

    The download clocks in at 168MB and is for Intel Macs only.

    It should be noted that the OpenOffice 3.0 beta is also available for Linux, Solaris and Windows.

  • The iPhone is amazing

    Further proof that the iPhone is the greatest phone on the planet…First a little back story, my girlfriend teaches a drama class, and said drama class was preforming a series of one act plays. At the last minute they realized that they didn’t have all of the sound effects they needed. Enter the iPhone.

    They needed a dog barking. The iPhone has a ringtone of a dog barking.

    They needed an old telephone ringing. The iPhone has it (actually named Old Phone).

    They needed an old car horn. And you guessed it, the iPhone has it.

    So using nothing more than default ringtones and an iPhone held up to a wireless mic I was able to provide sound effects at the last minute for a theatrical production. And that ladies and gentleman is why the iPhone is just so amazing.

    For the life of me though, I cannot figure out why anyone would choose to include a dog barking as a ringtone…
