I saw this Tweet from Brian Tong a few days back.  As he put it:

Now it ALL makes sense! http://twitpic.com/1121r0

As I look at all the Apple Devices I own, is there room enough for the iPad? I bet my wife says NO!!  I wonder if has to do with our family owning a 24″ iMac, a 13″ MacBook Unibody, an iPhone, his & hers iPod Touch, an iPod with video, an iPod Nano and an iPod Shuffle.

One of my all time favorite OS X third party applications was Techspansion’s VisualHub.

It was able to covert a video file into many different file formats. However, the developer decided to call it quits back in 2008 and though the utility is still useable there has not been an update since that time.

Finally, after a few years a candidate to replace VisualHub has emerged.

The fine folks over at The Little App Factory have developed Evom. Best of all it is free! Evom is able to convert video files into several file formats including Apple TV, iPod, HTML5, YouTube, Flash, AVI and many more. Like many people, if you have lost the ability to make VisualHub work or are new to OS X, please give Evom a try.

If your like me and your music collection continues to grow, you may find that your iTunes library is starting to take up a large amount of space on your internal hard drive. There is an easy and simple way to free up that space by directing your iTunes folder to a external hard drive. Donald Bell from CNET breaks down the steps to accomplish this task, both on OS X and on Windows.  Follow the step by step instructions found in this PDF.  Like always, make sure to backup your iTunes folder before making any changes.

In case you haven’t noticed, this blog has gone through some changes. On January 30th, 2010 despite my best efforts Wordpress left my blog in ruins. All of my posts from 2006 on, were lost to a catastrophic error. Therefore I have decided to forgo days and months of troubleshooting what went wrong. Stay tuned as I try to put out new content aimed at the geek in me. Thanks.
