TuneConnect 2
I run a media server on a mac mini that sends music and other stuff throughout the house. Previously I used VNC to get in there and control it, but this thing is definitely better for the specific purpose of controlling an iTunes on another machine in your network. VNC is great and all but UI-wise it’s slow and choppy. There’s even key-strokes and such that work even if the app isn’t in focus, so you can just minimize and mostly forget it while you’re busy hacking away on other stuff.
I’m also aware of Remote for iPhone but that still requires opening up the phone each time you want to change a track, which is less ideal when you’re sitting at your computer working.
Haters of iTunes and other “i” applications may remain silent at this time. Consider my hand pre-raised in your face. Ed Colmar I’m looking at you.

particularly interesting for the free VirtualBox, really good to know.
Saw this at the bank today.

Build your own laminated scrap wood table
Really, really want to do this! I think finding a building partner and making two, so each walks away with something, would probably be a better idea though. Taking this on solo would be a huge challenge.
MacHeist nanoBundle
If you’re on Mac, MacHeist’s new software bundle is completely free for 3 more days. It comes with 6 cool little indie apps that normally cost between $15 - $50 each, at least one of which (TinyGrab) I could not live without. In fact, I created this screenshot with TinyGrab. In one keystroke, it takes a screenshot, uploads it to a server, and pastes the URL into your clipboard. The entire process usually takes about all of 2 seconds. It’s become essential to my workflow.
A final app, Mariner Write, which is a Mac-centric replacement for MS Word, gets unlocked if and when they get to 500k participants at the end of the 3 days remaining. So far they’re at ~ 232k after 2 days.
If you’re on a Mac, please go grab it!

Been getting this podcast since day one… the amount of content is getting serious. Highly recommended for techno fans. The recent Surgeon set is really reminding me why he’s one of my all time faves. Go Tony!!
