Web Site Stuff, Leopard Stuff and other junk...

I've been working a bit more on my web sites, specifically I made one for my palace which you can see here. I've also started updating my family photos site. Some of the updates are made possible by the new iWeb. I'm probably going to make a third web site which will be my homepage at my comcast space using it.

Speaking of Apple software I have noticed that for Leopard they are doing some more graphics updates. Specifically they have updated the title-bar buttons and they look nicer to me:

Check out more screenshots of the latest OS X build here. The first screenshot shows the new default wallpaper. They need to update the scrollbars and buttons to match the new titlebar buttons in my opinion though. I don't like tabs like this they take up too much room in my opinion. One last thing.. I notice that Apple has gone with 512x512 sized icons so that they look good in the Finder's new "coverflow" mode. For example.. take a look at TextEdit... you can actually read what it says on the icon there.

I'm watching The Crow: Wicked Prayer right now. It's interesting that Edward Furlong is The Crow in this one and it also has David Boreanaz (Angel) as the bad guy and it also has the guy who played Tank in the matrix as a bad guy. I also noticed Danny Trejo (Machete) is in it... he gets put a lot in movies as a tough guy. But Edward Furlong and his girlfriends death didn't seem as tragic as the original crow's was in the first movie to me for some reason. I think perhaps they didn't make them as likable.

One more thing.. I like this car stereo. It's nice how it includes an SD memory card slot although I myself just need a stereo that has aux in, iPod connector and maybe radio although I'd probably never use the radio part. One thing for sure is I don't need any CD player or Video playback capability (this doesn't have either). They should include the Blaupunkt iPod connector with that reciever I linked to here.

Another little project I worked on recently...

I have this one TV table\tray that my family gave me a while back which I have been using as a side table for my little computer desk that I keep my Mac Mini on. There was just one thing.. the computer desk I have has a black table top and the TV table has a natural finish. It's been handy to me for quite a while and I use it everyday to eat on, to write on, etc. But I have been tired of it's natural finish and how that looks next to my computer desk. So I lightly sanded it and painted it with satin black. A few coats later and it looks a lot better especially next to my computer desk. If I had a camera I'd take a picture to show here. I polished it with furniture polish this evening and it looks nice. I now notice my printer stand also has a faux natural finish that is peeling off so I may paint that next. ;) Hooray for having things match!
