Miro -> iPod

Miro is an open-source internet TV platform that enables downloading and watching online TV and other channels (video podcasts). Miro in the current version is unable to sync with your iPod automatically. I made a simple Automator script that copies videos from your /Movies/Miro folder to /Music/iTunes/Music/Movies and then imports it into iTunes. Please submit your comments.

Elsa Kawai is an award-winning, cross-media visual designer whose talents are markedly visible in graphic design, fashion jewelry design, and photography. Elsa also creates and markets her own product lines which include brand names such as Oddzballz and EK Jewelry.

Born in Malaysia, Elsa Kawai grew up in a humble, middle class family with her parents, brother and cousin. Elsa rarely had any childhood toys and her grandma once told her that the best & most satisfying toys reside within one’s own imagination. These words inspired Elsa to delve into her artistic capabilities as a little girl. Elsa would attempt to draw everything in sight and would frequently create little games and toys to pass time.

In 2002, her reputation and career successes captured the attention of fans and fellow artists across the world and eventually brought her to the United States, where she now lives and works as a visual designer with a leading global and media company. Elsa’s portfolio runs the gamut from fashion, everyday life, abstract, the natural to architectural perspectives and more avant-garde macro photography

How to: Inhale more life into your PowerBook

You still haven’t switched to Intel-based MacBook or a Mac Book Pro, and you are “stuck” (like myself) with an (not that) old G4 PowerBook? Here is some tips of how you can get the most out of your PowerBook macintosh.

Memory upgrade: Adding more memory will increase your PowerBook’s overall performance. PowerBook comes with 512 or 1 GB of SODIMM memory, depends on which PowerBook model do you own.

Installation procedure: Flip your PowerBook over and set it down on a desk. You should be looking at the backside. Turn off and unplug your Powerbook. Take out the battery. Take out the four screws that are holding the cover of the memory slot using screwdriver. When installing additional memory module, make sure the gold pins are facing down at a 30º angle, and make sure the pins are positioned correctly. Also,make sure that you have your module inserted correctly. Boot up your mac and go to system profiler to see how much memory do you have.

External hard drive: Having an external hard drive is always a good thing. If you don’t have one already, I would recommend purchasing LaCie or WD models as they are very reliable. Installing applications and saving backups onto external HD helps you keep your PowerBook hard drive “clean” and more organized. When buying external HD, make sure that you buy one with FireWire interface. That will enable faster data transfer.

Maintain Regularly: Maintaining your mac properly is very important.

Battery Replacement: If you haven’t had your PowerBook battery replaced in a long time, it’s time to get a new one. If you are that lucky to find a new PowerBook battery, buy it straight away You can try on e-bay to get a battery that is slightly newer then the one you have. Calibrating your battery is also recommended.I hope that these tips will help you to get more out of your beloved PowerBook and that you still enjoy using it as when it was brand new.
