Nocturne App MicroReview: Computing Deep Into the Night

Category: tech reviews,toolsjmacofearth @ 8:18 am

Have you ever been in bed computing and your significant other (bed partner) is ready to go to sleep? If you've ever had complaints about the brightness of your monitor at night. Or finally, if you are computing in a completely dark room, sometimes just reducing the brightness of your crisp new laptop screen doesn't cut it. Check out Nocturne (free app from the makers of Quicksilver.)

By launching Nocturne you can completely invert the colors of your screen. What's bright is now dark. And it's surprisingly workable and probably saves a lot of power in the process.

Nocturne - black & white inverted mode

The coolest mode is when you set black to a color, like blue or light-red. It looks like a nightscope for your Mac.

Check it out if you ever compute in the dark. You'll be amazed.

Mapping Your Own Social Media Genome: Managing the Parts as a Whole

Category: about me,community building,social media,toolsjmacofearth @ 7:44 pm

From wikipedia, "the genome of an organism is a complete genetic sequence on one set of chromosomes."

Screen shot 2009 08 23 at 11.26.04 AM Mapping Your Own Social Media Genome: Managing the Parts as a Whole

Taking the parts of social in order:

Twitter: Tweetdeck, Twitter.com, Twitblock.org (check out the spam killing features of twitblock)
Facebook: Tweetdeck, Facebook.com
Email: Mail (mac)
RSS: iGoogle page (when I find a blog or site I like I subscribe to the RSS feed even before I read the article I was interested in. Then I check my iGoogle pages a few times a day when I'm looking for ideas to see what other people are writing about. I rarely revisit sites to see what's up, I check my RSS feeds and return only when an article connects to a topic I am interested in. So you might check the titles of articles in an RSS feed and see if they are enticing and clear. If the title isn't selling your ideas, I'm not (most people are not) liable to return and read your post.)
WordPress/Writing: Uber.la is where I do 80% of my writing these days, I rarely even open MS Word. And within WordPress I also do my writing for a number of other blogs.

How do you map and manage your social genome?
