Tip: One thing that I have noticed is that if you regularly use a Windows machine to sync your iPhone, it cannot be jailbroken with a Mac. I'm not entirely sure why.

IE has never liked Javascript very much, and IE8 will be rolled out soon. Many nice Javascript elements that I commonly use don't work yet in IE8, such as Shadowbox and BeautyTips.

This blog/site runs on Drupal and I use modules to handle my Shadowbox and BeautyTips needs, however these haven't been updated to the latest and greatest versions of their stand alone counterparts so they don't yet work in IE8.

After I first saw The Italian Spiderman, I really wanted to have that cougar sound clip that that is used in the videos. So I searched all over the Internets and I found that same audio file. I edited and tweaked it into what I believe is the greatest ringtone to have ever been invented by a mere mortal, but that's just my opinion.

I created a version for my iPhone but there is also an MP3 version too if your phone supports it.

Preview the greatest ringtone ever!

I slammed my head against the wall for hours trying to figure out why h.264 MP4 HD video from my snazzy new Samsung digital camera wouldn't import into Adobe Premiere CS3.

Answer: Change the file extension to .mpg

Change filename.MP4 --> filename.mpg

I recently just started using the 960 Grid System CSS framework in 2 recent projects. I've got to say that I'm really liking it so far. Using the Photoshop templates to layout and mock-up the design makes it super easy to get an original design down in a few hours.

Brian Tong from CNet explains an awesome Insider Secret on how to stop iTunes from going through that tedious back-up process every time you sync your iPod or iPhone. There are ways to do it for Windows and Mac.

I'm going to print up 300 CD labels for my buddies new Album. I bought the 8931 CD labels from Avery but it only came with some bullshit software that I would have to install on my computer. I went to their crappy website to look for a some sort of generic template that I could bring into Photoshop to make their label. But I couldn't find any, of course they had templates for Microsoft Word (I pause typing to make a masturbating gesture with my fist).

So I poked around the Internet and found a zip file with the labels I needed on the Adobe Exchange, of course you have to have an account to download the file. That's crap, I already had an Adobe login, so I downloaded the file and I posted it here.

You can download them directly from me.

Here's the text from the Adobe Exchange listing with all the label numbers and what-not:

Dr. Steve Brule is enjoying some Sweet Berry Wine

- I first saw this off of an email that Pat sent out trying to convince other people to go to the wine festival coming up.

And this is what happens if you enjoy a little too much Sweet Berry Wine!

For your health!

I couldn't find a list of State abbreviations that I could quickly use as options for a drop-down list for an address component for a project I'm working on. So I have a complete list of the 50 states in excel, csv, and text format. See the links

Hopefully someone will find this helpful some day.
