Mario Paint Composer

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Remember the Mario Paint Rickroll?
Well apparently it was made using the Mario Paint Composer by ufungames. The program essentially lets you play Mario Paint without the need for a console. It’s good fun if you’re bored.

DROPCLOCK IS AWESOME!
It’s an aesthetically pleasing screensaver that shows the passing of minutes in real-time with large Helvetica numbers dropping into water in slow-motion!!! [via]
It’s available for Mac and Windows. DOWNLOAD IT NOW (the file is big).

I didn’t know you could zoom in on multiple files in Bridge

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Maybe it’s because I don’t normally select more than one file at a time in Adobe Bridge or maybe it’s because I’m an idiot (maybe both), but I just found out that I can zoom in on multiple files at once without losing the zoom area in a previously selected file.
My productivity just shot through [...]

The Wordpress Blog has a sneak peek look at the upcoming 2.5 release of their blogging platform. As you may know, Doobybrain.com runs on Wordpress, and to say that I’m looking forward to this next release is a bit of an understatement.

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

After you download and install the new Firefox 3 beta 3, you are greeted with this stunning welcome page that features a flying robot blasting off to…somewhere.
I gave beta 3 a quick 5-minute try and the thing that I liked most was the revamped address bar and how the drop-down list of URLs is presented [...]

How to play and rip any DVD regardless of its region code

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Sorry, this post is Windows PC only
Just the other day, I got membership to a Video EZY video rental store near my apartment. Generally speaking, the deals for renting videos in Australia are pretty good. The selection of movies might not be as great as a video rental place back in the US, but for [...]

New Zune firmware installed

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

I installed the new Zune 2.2 firmware today on my 1st generation Microsoft Zune player (I got one when it was on sale at Woot…).
I never was able to use the first generation Zune’s original factory firmware mainly because I couldn’t get the Zune software running on my laptop’s Vista installation (a bit silly, I [...]

Splashup: powerful online image editor

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

No, the screenshot above is not Adobe Photoshop. It is Splashup, an online photo image editor and manager.
Of all of the online image editors I’ve used, Splashup is so far the best one with the most features that I would make use of. The website and application load so quickly that it feels like I’m [...]
