Google Map Image
There's only one thing on the net cooler than Google™ Maps. What could possible be cooler than that?

Putting an interactive map on your own website.

Google™ has released the API for their mapping system, so now you can develop websites using their maps. And it's much easier than you may think!

Quick Definitions in OS X

Definitions Pic
To quickly get the definition of word, simply press 'command+control+D" and hover the word with your mouse.

Additionally, press F5 in the middle of typing a word to get the proper spelling, and a list of similarly spelled words.

(I set my definitions list to be F4 in the system settings-->keyboard and mouse, for ease of use).

(I apologize in advance if the key combo wording is not correct. Being a new switcher, I've not yet learned the new keys' names)

Ever use a Linux or non-Mac UNIX machine and notice the fancy colors different file names have when using the ls command in the terminal?

Well now you can have the very same thing in Tiger's terminal :-)
