Yesterday, as I was perusing through the world wide web, I came across a really cool wallpaper site, which has a whole host of different themes wallpapers for your computer, as well as your mobile phones and other devices.
Check it out, I bet you will find some images that you will enjoy. I did!

A few weeks back when Apple hosted the World Wide Developers Conference, one really moment that I found quite fun and humorous was when it was announced what the name of the new OS X would be. Since Apple has named all of their OS X versions after specific big “cats”, it was only a matter of time before they would be in a bit of a bind in terms of running out of decent cat names to use. Well, there is no need to worry, Apple has some really clever developers to come up with a good solution to fix the naming problem!
Here is a clip for your enjoyment

Came across an article that provided a never before video interview of Steve Jobs from 1994. It is really quite thought provoking to listen to Jobs reflect on the notion of technology in relationship to ones life work developing technology.

Just finished watching Apples World Wide Developers Conference Keynote. There is a lot of very cool software and hardware coming out of Apple. Anyone who thought that Apple has not been working tirelessly to bring about truly awesome products, well I think Phil Schiller summed it up best by quipping, “Can’t innovate anymore, my ass!” during his particular presentation of the newly announced, redesigned Mac Pro.
Bravo Apple, Bravo!

Patrick Is a Genius! No, not me, the other Patrick from the across the pond. What did he do that was so awesomely brilliant you ask? Well, it has to do with how this particular web page theme was working, or I should say not working as I had hoped. Simply put, whenever one would “click” upon an image within a post, there should have been a “lightbox” effect, which would allow the image to appear within the middle of the page, within a separate little box. What was happening unfortunately was that the image was showing up upon a new page, separate from the actual post it was originally within.
While I knew that this was an issue that pertained to the distinct theme I had chosen for the look of my blog, I wasn’t quite too sure where the miscommunication was within the actual code so as to fix this little hiccup. After tinkering about, I figured to search out one who might have a much better sense of not only what was going wrong, but how to make it work!
Sounds complicated? Well, for one such as Patrick it was quite easy to comprehend and see just what was going wrong. It turns out it was a Javascript issue within the code of the particular theme. He directed me over to fetch a plug in that he knew would allow for all the parts to play nicely, which would allow for the desired “lightbox” effect to take place! Voila!!! What a simple solution indeed! Finally, the images within each post have the desired “lightbox” effect! Three cheers for Patrick!
So a massive thank you is in order for Patrick, who not only so graciously responded to my inquiry as to why I was faced with this little technical hiccup, but provided a most elegant solution to solve the sites snag. Go check out his personal blog site and get a glimpse into the different grovetastic projects (like Atomic Duck) he has delved into, it really is some very cool stuff indeed!
