...I added Mark’s blog as a favorite. Primarily because it’s awesome, and also because of his tagline about bacon. <3

To favorite someone’s blog, you’ll need Firefox with Firebug installed.

1. Open someone’s blog and view source.
2. Look for an HTML comment like this:
   <!-- Asset Stream 6a00b8ea0717f31bc000b8ea0717f51bc0 -->
3. Copy the asset ID (the 6aNNNN... number).
4. Run this command from the Firebug console (with the above ID):
   app.c.addAssetAsFavorite( { asset_id: "6aNNNN..." } )
5. Check your favorites. It should now be listed!

Steampunk Laptop

Via Engadget, the coolest laptop ever made, bar none.

Looks like it's possible with some registry hacking. Enjoy.

A few people (you know who you are) at the office just picked up an Intel Mac Mini. If you're like me, you have more than a few movies on disk somewhere in formats other than QuickTime (mov). Since Front Row is the best thing since sliced bread, clearly a way to watch these movies with Front Row is in order. A few links:

• Front Row on a PowerPC Mac Mini
• DiVX 6 For Intel OS X
• Oblig Macintouch Link
  

For those burdened by the unholy cross of the Comcast/Motorola PVR, a bonus link for piping digital HD video from the PVR to your Mac for recording.

That is all.
