Fluid: The Site Specific Browser

There are some websites like Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, and others that you might want to run in their own application. I know that it might be more convenient for me to have a Gmail app rather than using Safari or setting up Apple's Mail to access it. The companies that provide these services don't provide a desktop app, but they do provide a web interface. That is where Fluid comes in. Fluid allows you to be able to take that web interface and use it in its own application. You can make an application for any website and it will run just like any other native application on your computer. This is a nice seamless way to integrate online services into your everyday suit of applications. Watch the video below to find out how to set this up. Feel free to comment.

Any one who follows this blog to any degree should have heard about Southern Fried Geeks by now. We have not had a show in a while, and that is because we are working on some major improvements and changes. One of the main things will be our new set. This is the unboxing video of the audio mixer that will be used to mix the audio for the people on set. Enjoy!

Mac Pro RAM Installation

This Christmas I got a few new things to make my Mac Pro actually be a Mac Pro. Up until this point, I only had 2 GB of RAM. As you might know 2 GB just is not enough to run multiple apps as well as editing and exporting video. So I was happy to get 4 more GB of RAM to add this Christmas. The video below is a video of my installing the RAM. Also, go to Other World Computing to get more instruction on the installation process. Enjoy!
