Quick note on Safari 5

I'm really enjoying browsing with Safari 5 and I'm currently working on a few extensions to fill in the gaps.

I'm going to start publishing the Extension I'm using as well the ones I'm developing.

Still trying to figure out if I should bundle the extensions with siliconchaos.com or twelv22.com

BTW, twelv22.com is my business site. Still working on it so don't expect much yet. Should have the logo up by this weekend and hopefully I can get some content up and running soon.

Anyway, hope you all have a great weekend. I'm spending mine learning Objective-C and the iPhone SDK

Panic.com/blog site design

Visited http://www.panic.com/blog/ today and was totally blown away by the sites design. Each topic has a different theme and the visuals are just amazing. I've always been a fan of their application icons and application user interfaces, but IMHO this site is their best interface design yet.

Here are a few screenshots:

What is "love"?

Why is a score of zero in tennis called "love"?

This tennis term is not very lovely for the players. But, no matter; the word's origin has nothing at all to do with amore.

Love is really a distortion of the French word oeuf, which means egg, as in goose egg. Love is definitely a kinder way of referring to zero points than goose egg.

This installment of Useless Information was taken from "The Book of Totally Useless Information" by Don Voorhees. Hope you enjoyed it.

Manga: Psycho Buster サイコバスターズ


Started reading a new manga, at least new for me since it was first published in 2006. The story starts off when a beautiful girl asks Kakeru (you average bottom of the food chain always picked on type of guy) for help. The girl turns out to be by a psychic on the run (along with three other of her comrades) from a shadow organization. The story does sound a little vague and is a classic example of Deus Ex Machina, but so far it has entertained me with the 19 chapters I've read so far.

Ther are seven Volumes and 32 chapters, the author Aoki, Yuya ( 青樹 佑夜 ) also wrote Get Backers which is one of my favorite Anime (looking forward to reading the manga).

New Articles maybe by end of week

I've been swamped with work lately and haven't been able to write a thing. I was able to download the Fedora 13 Live CD's and installation DVD's, and plan on getting it up and running soon so I can do a write up it.

Also plan on writing on my recent experience trying to find the perfect Twitter iPhone client. I'd say I'm about 70% done with my research.

Anyway, back to work and I promise to get something out this week. I'll have the Linux highlight for last week up by tomorrow.
