SecretTweet combines PostSecret and Twitter

If PostSecret and Twitter got together, the result would be this: secrettweet.

SecretTweet is a site that allows anybody to submit a secret without having to buy any postage. All secrets are guaranteed to be 140 characters or less (good for quick reads), but you sacrifice the visual element of the secrets made prominent by PostSecret. Still, it’s a good way to satisfy your secret-crave mid-week while PostSecret sits dormant.

The secrets posted to the front page of secrettweet are all approved by an admin, but if you want the unabridged and potentially offensive/inappropriate version, you can go to the unabridged portion of the site and read the secret tweets as they roll in.

Thanks Yelena!

Ford 2010 Fusion Hybrid

So my dad and I are looking at new cars and one of the ones we’re both pretty fixated on is the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. It’s a rather ordinary looking car but underneath it’s a bit more than extraordinary. It offers quite substantial mileage per gallon over the other cars in its class and it has a wonderfully design dashboard that really extends the center console unit to a great degree. And according to Ford, if you’re driving below 47mph, the car is almost 100% electric. So in most city-driving situations, you won’t be using any gas at all!

I really wouldn’t mind driving this car. It’s spacious, not too ugly, decently priced, and it has an awesome webpage. Sadly, I doubt we’ll get this car because it’s only available in automatic. :(

VMware Fusion on my Mac

November 9, 2008 @ 10:08 pm

Ever since I’ve gotten my Mac, I’ve been running Parallels on it in order to get to the Windows-side of things. It’s been running smoothly for the most part with very little hiccups. I’ve been quite satisfied with it.

But everybody kept telling me that VMware Fusion was better. VMware Fusion is another program that allows for Windows virtualization on the Mac, and just today, I finally got around to testing it out.

VMware Fusion is better. Not by a whole lot, but it’s definitely more configurable and surprisingly easier to set up (Parallels was easy already, so you can imagine what little effort went into setting up VMware Fusion to run Windows XP).

Anyway, between the two, I would probably now recommend Fusion, just as my friends had done the same to me. So if you’re looking for a way to run another operating system on your Mac (not just Windows), VMware Fusion is your best bet.
