- Send Backpack pages to your iPod with Automator
Filed under: Software, Cool tools, Productivity, Tips and tricks, Internet Tools
We sure have gone kookoo for iPod syncing lately - what with tips and scripts for syncing GTD info, Yojimbo and now even the TUAW-approved online PIM, Backpack. I honestly don't remember how I stumbled across this tip, but it hails from - of all places - a public page of Backpack user dchadwick. Through the use of a Mail.app filter and some clever Automator actions, dchadwick walks us through using Backpack's "email this page" feature, and then running an Automator script to export said email (once you receive it, of course) to your iPod. It isn't quite easy-breezy, but it's the best (read: only) solution I've seen for achieving such Backpack + iPod nerdery as this.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Hardware, Humor, Peripherals, Odds and ends
Electronista is reporting that Fujitsu is bringing their Happy Hacking Keyboard to the Mac (with a Mac command key, etc.). Apparently something of a cult classic among certain PC users, Fujitsu is promoting these small USB keyboards for use with the Mac Mini. What makes the keyboard special is a driver that, according to electronista, allows "owners to visually reassign keys by dragging and dropping functions over the keyboard." They are available in Japan now, and will probably soon be heading stateside. Seriously, though, how can you not want a happy hacking keyboard?Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Software, Cool tools, Productivity, Internet Tools
German-based Nova Media landed on our radar last year with their iSync plugin that supports more phones than Mac OS X's default set. Not content with mere syncing, however, the company also makes an Address Book plugin, recently updated with more supported models, that allows phones from Nokia and Sony Ericsson to shake hands with Apple's contact manager for all sorts of phone call integration. Sending calls to voicemail, replying via an SMS, logging the call and even starting one are all possible from within Address Book. And while AB supports these operations with the default batch of iSync-supported phones, Nova Media's Address Book plugin enables these operations with a large set of Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones that Apple likely never will support.
Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a demo available for download, but at roughly $8.50 USD (Euro 6,50), I bet it would be hard to go wrong. After all, I can say from personal experience that $8.50 would be a small price to pay for the satisfying ability of clicking a button in a Mac OS X dialog to send someone directly to voicemail.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
