Quite often when I run across things on the web that I think might be interesting to ponder, I drag the URL to my desktop, amassing a little collection of things to revisit when I get a free moment. Unfortunately, I’ve collected quite a few things over the past month and am just now getting around to going through them. Some of them will end up as bookmarks for later, but some have just grown stale in their contemporary relevance. Some I will comment on more fully in individual posts later, but most I’ll just list here for posterity. Warning: they’re quite random.

• Interesting documentation of one individual’s search for bluetooth sync-capable phones for his iBook.
• Folder Synchronizer looks like an interesting utility to keep two folders on different computers in sync. Might be able to use this to keep iTunes libraries in sync between my PowerBook and a server.
• It’s interesting to read Ned’s perspective on things of a coding nature; He and I seem to share a certain similar pragmatic outlook on development practices. Here he’s talking about throwing exceptions, and he doesn’t particularly like Java’s approach. Nor do I.
• Another installment in the “Hollywood really does think it’s the center of the universe”, Brad and Jennifer think they can do diplomacy better. Give me the standard break.
• Ann Coulter, in her standard biting style, trashes the Libs for their trashing of Rush and his addiction to painkillers.
• Nice article covering the differences in the various DVD media.
• Main Eclipse project download site. Got to get this running on Panther soon.
• There may be the slightest shred of validity to this claim, but I doubt it. I don’t buy the whole “WiFi is frying our little one’s brains” business.
• Unofficial Cocoa Dev FAQ. Very Cool.
• Motion Tracking plug-in for FinalCut Pro. Need to check this out.
• Good article on understanding the real-time rendering engine in FCP 4.0
• CSS Best Practices from the guy who brought us CSS ZenGarden.
• Another bit of PC gone completely awry: Master/Slave as a technical term banned by LA County. Geez.

It’s nice to have a clean desktop again.
