Hit TV: 2006 - Unreality TV
TheSims2.com - Home
TV takes a new direction in 2006. A role playing virtual reality community game is displayed in real time on TV. No player knows when he or she will be on TV.
You read it here first. (Ok, maybe not first.)

RyncX & RsyncXCD for OS X
macosxlabs.org - Documentation
Rsync is a tool of legendary power. This may make it very useful for the rest of us. Especially handy for backups across a wireless LAN.
RsyncXCD_v2.1 has been released. It is based on the latest release of bootCD. This CD allows you to pull down from your network server a loadset image folder to a machine that has only its hard drive and CDROM as possible boot sources. This CD will let you connect to your server as an Mac OS X client, and cleanly install your image folder onto a volume that later you will boot from. For best results with older machines, burning at 4x or slower speeds is recommended.

Portraits and Prints for iPhoto
Econ Technologies:Portraits and Prints
Now that I have an outstanding Canon Pixma iP4000 printer, this $20 shareware app has become very interesting. iPhoto does NOT do a fantastic job with printing. I'll try it and report back.

Powers of 10 -- updated version of the old demo
Molecular Expressions: Science, Optics and You - Secret Worlds: The Universe Within - Interactive Java Tutorial
This version of the old powers of 10 demo goes from 10 million light years (10**23 meters) to 100 attometers (10 ** -16). It stops at quarks -- too bad -- it would be interesting to continue to the Planck length.
I'm struck again by how self-similar the views are until we drop down to a terrestrial scale.

how to add an Airport express to extend (WDS) an Airport Extreme network
macosxhints - Airport Express WDS with third party NAT / DHCP: "This hint describes how to add an Airport express to extend (WDS) an Airport Extreme network that uses some other (wired) host (e.g. a broadband router) to provide DHCP and NAT. The Airport Express Assistant will let you set up WDS automatically, but it insists that the master airport uses NAT and DHCP, and has a static IP address, which means you have to form a separate subnet for the wireless portion of your network.

Exif Jpeg header parser and thumbnail remover (OS X)
Exif Jpeg header parser and thumbnail remover
The only program I've heard of that can attach an EXIF header to an existing JPEG. I wonder if it can fix duplicate rotation tags!?
They reference this article -- one of the very few anywhere on the EXIF file format
http://park2.wakwak.com/~tsuruzoh/Computer/Digicams/exif-e.html
I liked the explanation of the EXIF orientation tag from the reference:
The orientation of the camera relative to the scene, when the image was captured. The relation of the '0th row' and '0th column' to visual position is shown as right.
0x0112 unsigned short 1
Value 0th Row 0th Column

2 top right side
3 bottom right side
