You Got the Right Smack Baby!

Ray Charles died today at 11:35am. He was 73 and died of liver problems that can probably be blamed on his years of herion abuse.
The “Genius of Soul” died right here on the westside, just like 90% of celebrities.

25 Weirdest Amazon Products

BoingBoing points out The Top 25 Weirdest Things found on Amazon.com.
From live lobsters to chocolate covered pork rinds, and my absolute favorite: Owl Puke.

Too bad half the list is sea monkeys, and a couple items are standard items for gardening.

AnoniSurf

Don’t want your your favorite porn site to know your surfing from inside NASA? Trying to keep the feds from knowing you grow your own medicine?
Then AnoniSurf is the answer you’ve been looking for!

“AnoniSurf has arrived for MacOS X. No longer a front-end to Anonymizer, AnoniSurf uses a script by James Marshall called CGIProxy. It filters out ads, masks your IP address, and prevents you from unwanted hack attempts while surfing the web. Please read the disclaimer before using the software! v1.2 adds a server database, server crawler, cleaner interface, smaller file size, software update feature, and an online PHP framework created by Patrick Paul.”

FGSoft.net has contacted me and asked me to remind you that they do not condone illegal use of their software, and they are not legally liable for any misuse.

CapsGetPeeled.com however encourages you to participate in victimless crime, senseless mayhem, and total anarchy (just dont use this app to do it).

Gumby

I’ve been using Gumby since last year but completely forgot to post about it! This app does EVERYTHING!

“Gumby is a multipurpose application for manipulating, fixing and converting files found on the net. Over the years, many tools have appeared to handle such files, unfortunately the majority have been PC-based, thus leaving Mac users in the dust. Gumby tried to rectify this situation by providing roughly 20 programs into a single application.

VCD Jelly: Extracts an mpeg-1 film from a file.
SVCD Jelly: Same thing as above but for Mpeg-2 files.
SVCD Fixer: Fixes SVCD’s so they work on some players.
Binchunker: Converts a binary file (.bin) to an ISO.
SFV Checker: Performs checksum verification on files.
PS2 Patcher: Patches PS2 images (CD or DVD) for the Japanese swap trick.
PPF Patcher: Applies PPF patches to images.
MPEG Cutter: Cuts or trims MPEG documents.
Unrar Extractor: Extracts files from RAR documents.
PAR Checker: Fixes RAR documents using parity files (PAR).
PS2 PAL: Converts PAL PS2 games so they run on NTSC TV sets.
GI to ISO: Converts Primo DVD images to standard ISO.
S/VCD Builder: Creates VCD or SVCD images from mpeg documents.
MPEG Fixer: Demuxes, Remuxes, Fixes and Repairs MPEG files.
Batch Processor: Automates multiples functions to work with 1 click.”

All the CGP staff use this app daily, and according to the site a major update is coming.

Your Mac is a HDTV PVR

This excellent MacOSXHints.com article explains in detail how to use your firewire equipped mac to record HDTV signals at full resolution for free. All that is needed is a HDTV cable box with FireWire (Since April 1st the FCC requires your Cable company to offer you one), a mac with firewire, NinjaMonkey, and tons of hard drive space. The only downsides are some HDTV signals are encrypted (unplayable), the files can only be played back in VLC, and video at 1920×1080 and 1280×720 (1080i and 720p) takes up huge amounts of drive space.

Rasterbator

Unxmaal.com points out the Rasterbator. A very very cool website that takes any image you give it and makes it HUGE, and rasterizes the image into various sized dots. The resulting image is broken up into pages and downloadable as a pdf file. Then you can print the hundreds of pages out when you get to work the next day. I love the smell of hot toner in the morning.

GBA Time Machine

Lik-Sang is now selling the GBA Time Machine, an adapter that lets you play Famicon games on your Gameboy Advance! The Famicon was the Japanese version of the NES, and with a cheap adapter you can use this with your american NES games. With the new NES styled (pictured above) GBA it’s a perfect match.

Missing Sync for Zodiac

MacNN is reporting that Mark/Space has announced The Missing Sync for the Tapwave Zodiac! The Zodiac is a palm based portable gaming device made by ex-Apple and ex-Palm employees. It’s got a huge screen, good graphics and sound, bluetooth, SD slot, force feedback, and can run any Palm OS application. But, and this is a fairly big but, absolutly zero mac support. No palm or iSync. Tapwaves retail games, movies, and mp3′s cannot be installed from a mac. You can however send normal Palm .prc files via bluetooth to the device. For $40, The MissingSync should do all of this and even transfer your highscores from the Zodiac to Tapwave’s website. I love my Zodiac, maybe now that I can use it as a PDA I will love it more.

Linux on Airport Basestation

Please dont ask me why, but this guy has figured out how to install Linux 2.2.16 on the original Apple Airport Basetstation (graphite). I cant possibly think of a use, but the author says:

“Having a linux router obviously offers a huge amount of flexibility. Just an example: my ISP quite often drops my connection – I let ‘init’ take care of respawning pppoEd which in turn runs the right scripts to send me an email to work with the new IP address as soon as the new connection is up. Also, the status of the ppp link is monitored by the leftmost red LED. “
