Dock Spaces gives you multiple docks to switch between
July 9, 2009 @ 2:31 pm
Just got word of this free app called Dock Spaces that allows you to set different docks in OS X and switch between them with a simple click or hotkey. I find it useful when making and publishing screenshots, although I’m sure you can probably find other uses for this app.
Multiple Inboxes in Gmail Labs
February 5, 2009 @ 10:16 pm
Gmail Labs just added the ability to access multiple inboxes on one screen with the “Multiple Inboxes” feature. Essentially, what this does is add dedicated search panes right alongside your regular inbox. This is great news for those of us who are power Gmail users and rely on its fantastic search capabilities to sort and organize our emails.
To get multiple inboxes in your Gmail, click the Labs icon at the top right of your inbox and then enable “Multiple Inboxes”. Once enabled, you will see a new tab under your Settings that allows you to set parameters for each inbox. Modifying each inbox is as easy as copy and pasting a search or sort query into the blank space provided. You can have up to 5 additional inboxes (best for those who have larger resolutions, obviously) and you can have them display either to the right, below, or above the main inbox.
This is by far the best Labs feature to be added to Gmail and those of us who choose to take advantage of this feature will surely see their daily productivity shoot through the roof. I feel like this is one of those features to change the web email landscape in much the same way Gmail did when they first appeared on the scene.
Multiplicity!

I already posted one of these multiplicity shots when I came back on Wednesday, so here are the rest of them that I have collected so far.
Lockheed Martin’s Multiple Kill Vehicle successfully tested
December 10, 2008 @ 6:00 pm
Last week on December 2, Lockheed Martin successfully conducted a test of their Multiple Kill Vehicle-L at the National Hover Test Facility at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The test was conducted to see whether the machine could hover in the air for an extended period of time while locked onto a target. In the end, the MKV-L managed to hover for about 20 seconds at a height of 23 feet while locked onto a target.
At first, I thought the rapid-fire sound was the machine shooting bullets, but upon further viewing, I realized that it was most likely the sound of the rocket that keeps in afloat in the air. In fact, I’m not even sure that this thing is firing any sort of projectile (it’s simply locked onto a target).
Check out the hi-res image of the one above at Lockheed Martin. And below is the test video that was released with the image that shows several different views of the test.
