Looking for something to use your Wii remote for other than breaking your TV?
Now you can control more than your Wii with your Wii remote control, you can control your Mac.
The iTheater folks also announced this will be the last official release that supports OSX 10.3. All following releases of iTheater will be for OSX 10.4 and up.

TubeSock is a great-looking app for OS X that lets you save videos from YouTube and easily convert them for viewing on your iPod, FrontRow, or anywhere else. Freeware purists can skip over this one--it costs $15 if you want to be able to convert more than the 30 seconds of video allowed by the trial version--but the rest of you, read on: TubeSock integrates with Safari and Firefox, providing a "Show in TubeSock" button. When you're looking at a YouTube page you can press the button, which will open TubeSock with a preview of the video. Then there's a handy "Convert" button that will not only put the video in your desired format (H.264 by default, of course), but it will also send it to your device program of choice--your iPod, iTunes, or FrontRow. Very slick.Filed under: Design, Photo, Windows, Blogging

Apple started a trend with FrontRow by introducing the suave effect called wet floor. Everyone and their dog are using on their website now, but so what? It is cool. Siuyee Presents a free plugin for WordPress that allows you to use the wet floor effect on images. The only downside to this neat plugin is that it can't be used in the rich editing mode, only in plain editor mode. Of course the easier way to avoid this is to just use a bit of simple code to "wet-floor" any image. The plugin even offers customized height and opacity. This example code is all you need: <img class="reflect rheight80 ropacity40" src="abc.jpg" /> I know from experience that this code works in both posts and in theme template files, so you can easily "wet-floor" your banner or footer image as well as little Susie's picture in your post. I know there are a ton of similar scripts out there, but I found this one particularly useful and easy. Who knew eye-candy was so simple?Filed under: Audio, Photo, Video, Macintosh, Open Source

Are you a Mac user and Front Row-less? You might want to check out iTheater, an open source media center for OS X. It's got a nice web site, but the software itself seems very much a work in progress, sporting a very Windows Media Center look, but the screenshots of the interface-to-come are promising. iTheater is a universal binary and has all of the DVD, video, audio, and photo features you'd expect, plus widget functionality. And like many open source projects, the iTheater team is seeking developers.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
