state of the flooz
Well I think ecto is it. This is a very polished blogging tool, and I've only really messed with it for about an hour now. It seems to have all the perks I like - does tags very well, categories are there, image placement is working, itunes and amazon inserts are a bonus, clean and tasteful UI. I dig it.

State of the Flooz
So carrying on let's talk about the state of the flooz here. We're coming up on 30 days in on the intel imac dual core experience. So far its been a slick transition.. except no gaming, just hasn't come into play yet. (pun!), Anyways ya no games. In fact the gaming/pc/xp box is off. And ya know.. that box was dying.. lol. With it off, the room is much quieter.
So far I've just been truckin along on this planet mac. I like it. I've done downloaded a handful of apps and started playing around with new things:
- cmaps - to create concept maps
- ecto - looks like the new blogging tool for me
- handbrake - makes rippin dvds fun and easy
- flysketch - love the onion skinning feature
- voodoo pad - nice little note taker
...and now a word about STATS!
As some of you may know I recently began video blogging my intel imac experience via youtube. At first i did them just to test youtube.. and well, after a combined total of 3000+ views across several different video posts.. i guess you can say they're official, thats a video blog that will be ongoing.
The intel imac series will be mirrored on the floozyspeak podcast as well, best place to grab that is in itunes. So two good places to find that videoblogpodcast whatever the heck people are calling that now.
YouTube has been interesting. Some of the videos ive done only have a few dozen views while others, mainly the video blog entry kind and the anime video kind have really taken off in views. One of the Neon Genesis Evangelion music videos I put together almost 10 years ago is slowly climbing up the charts.. very slowly, but hey i'll take 800+ views!
In other news, semi related to stats, the newly created Seriously Curious podcast for my job here at lextant has 61 subscribers on itunes, hey.. now thats excellent considering only a handful of folks really knew about the podcast internally at work.
On the Production Wire...
...two new websites in the works, GatorDave revisited and a new vodpodcast show with my first iWeb website launch coming soon. Probably see some interesting works coming from my darling gal Mary as well, gonna try for some fun improv on camera action here soon.
Blogwatch
...the blogosphere scene is full of noise lately. CNet talkin trash about apple, Microsoft gettin viral hype over a tablet gizmo with gps and wifi, MaBell on the loose and gettin hungry, players getting on the scene to try and tax your emails and more...
however.. with the strange and bad.. come a bit of good..
getting real from 37 signals makes a splash with a tasty well received read, rubyonrails gets a big plug from apple, seth cranks out an excellent video, steve goes education, ajax galleries of usage hit the web, and much much more...
