Dale one of the principles over at Brave New Code introduced me today to their latest product WPtouch.
Dale also customizes the templates for Typical Mac User Podcast web site. So what is WPtouch?
Simply put, WPtouch is a complimentary theme installed as a plugin on your WordPress blog or website that will format your content with this Apple-inspired, full-featured theme when your visitors are using an iPhone or iPod touch.
So if you have an iPhone or iPodTouch you can now see the Typical Mac User site in a new interface that is perfect for the iPhone. It literally took me six minutes to add this plugin to my Word Press and it just worked. No BETA here. Of course if you are using those devices and prefer to see the site in the normal way you can do that too. Great job Dale
Here is what my site looks like using WPtouch.
Well one day ahead of the rumor sites Apple refreshed its iMac Desktops with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn mobile processors, as well as a new powerful graphics card that beats anything previously used in the Apple desktops.
Starting at just $1,199, the new iMacs also include 6MB L2 cache, a faster 1066 MHz front-side bus, and 2GB of memory standard in most models (expandable to 4GB).
If you want to go for the gusto, then get the new 24-inch Extreme configuration offers a 3.06 GHz Intel processor with a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphics card with 512MB of video memory.
iMacs are absolutely gorgeous machines and these new models with available upgrades make this one great solution for many people whether new to the Mac family or long time users.

Back when Victor was crazy enough to have me share the microphone on his live show, we spoke at some length concerning the state of screencasting software. At the time I explained my interest in ScreenFlow and my thoughts that they would eventually “get it right.” Well the folks at Vara Software have now made me look very smart with the release of version 1.1. The new version addresses many of my complaints with the 1.0. Most importantly the export process is better and faster. (Yay lossless and Apple TV formats.) There are also some very nice new bells and whistles including markers, audio waveforms and a bucketload (yes, bucketload) of small tweaks that make the production end of things easier and faster. I’ve been using the various beta builds of version 1.1 for about a month and even published a few screencasts using it. Don’t take my word for it though. Head over to Varasoftware and check it out.
As you guys know I had my MacBook Pro laser etched by the guys over at iTattooapple Here is the video for your enjoyment.
