Friday : Avast me hearties!

Today be International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Well today is friday, I am tired of writing code and making inferior website changes so I figured I would share with you an email I received to end the day of this work week (that is if I don’t end up back here on Saturday - fingers crossed).

In celebration of this joyous day, I bring you not only the original Dave Barry column that started this mess, but also The Pirate Name Generator, The Pirate Personality Test, and The Pirate Translator!  Jon also brought good pirate garb for your borrowin’ like hats, swords, eye patches, clip-on earrings, rum, etc.  They are in his office.

iTunes 8 : New Visualizer

iTunes 8 has some pretty cool features ” get you to buy more music features ” but one that caught my eye this lovely morning was something I had not even thought about Apple updating.

The new visualizer on iTunes 8 is just amazing! I wish I had a video screen casting program so that I could record it and show everyone. For now you will have to just check out the screen shots I took and uploaded to Flickr or go download iTunes 8 for your self.

Strangely for some reason I was not able to upgrade from 7, I had to go to Apple’s website and download it from there. Either way this is a great update to challenge Microsoft’s xBox 360 visualizer.
