Truly excellent Honda ad
Just an amazing ad spot by Honda. You know a company has done something right when you feel good watching an advertisement. I’ve embedded the video here, but honestly, for the full effect, go watch it at Vimeo. There’s some very cool stuff that the whole page does to heighten the effect of the video.

Nifty little tool for Mac laptop users
Lifehacker is such a great website. For example, we’ve got this great app
Pause iTunes Whenever You Unplug Your Headphones with Breakaway:
Freeware application Breakaway automatically pauses and resumes your iTunes music when you unplug or plug in your headphones, perfect for using your laptop in public places. Not only will the auto-pause prevent you from blaring music to everyone around you if you accidentally unplug your headphones, but you also won’t miss a beat if you step away with your headphones and then come back and plug in. Breakaway is freeware, Mac OS X only.

Spanning Sync
Just wanted to put a little note in here about this excellent (but very beta) piece of software I’ve discovered for syncing iCal & Google Calendar bidirectionally called Spanning Sync. Finally, iCal & gCal can play nice!
