I came across this news on some Apple weblogs, they reported that Japan is selling the Snoopy iPod Nano set limited edition. This set includes the iPod Nano, together with leather case, wheel sticker. I don’t like Snoopy character but I do love the idea, and I’m sure that more personalized iPod will be rolled out.

For this particular set, only 1000 of them will be made and only be sold inside Japan. I guess we only can see it on the photos

I love changing my desktop wallpaper on weekly basic. As time comes and goes, my desktop is getting prettier.
I’ve captured some of my desktop screenshots from Windows old days till Mac era

This slideshow is done using SlideShowPro; and to be honest, it ate up half of my day just to work around with Flash, WordPress, Permanent Links and XML. This thing is very time consuming and sometimes annoying. The result is what you see; it works fine but not what I desire yet.

Adobe finally rolls out the new version for their famous product line: Adobe Reader 8.0. This update is Universal Binary, and that’s great news for any Mac guy who using Intel Mac computer.

The funny thing is Adobe releases both PPC and Intel Acrobat Reader 8.0, it means 2 seperate version for 1 software; which I guess it’s quite redundant They should be capable of making one software that can run on both PPC/Intel machine like other software.
Anyway, the new Reader 8.0 runs really fast in my MBP, the new icon is red – look pretty nice in my opinion.

However, Preview for Mac still remains as one of the fastest PDF reader built-in in Mac OS

How did I re-master my site (P1)

My site previously was developed using iWeb but I found it’s a pain in the a$$ when trying to integrate new features into it since iWeb code is pure HTML-based. So I decided to change my taste, try new things and see how it works out.

There are several choices out there available as free open-sourced if you need a flexible blogging system. I just name a few: WordPress, Joomla!, Movable Type, Blogger, Yahoo 360.

For me, I personally hate Yahoo 360 most but it doesn’t matter here (even I have my own 360 Page – never got updated ); and I finally arrived at WordPress, that’s all it takes to re-master my own weblog.

Installation
wordpressThe famous 5-min installation of WordPress surprised me, 5 minutes is more than enough providing that your own web hosting already gave you mySQL pre-installed which I think almost all of them did. My Singhost does it . Just blindly follow the instruction, and your own weblog will be up and running without a hitch. What will you have? Nothing! Yeap, I mean it, you have nothing. It’s just a very simple weblog, zero content, basic look-n-feel. The rest will be your jobs.
