So you got a new mac finally and you’re wondering what are the absolute best apps that I need to keep myself going? In our new highly subjective top 10, three get to stay and seven get the boot.

Here are the ones we’re sticking with:

Pastor: Still a quick and easy way to store serial numbers, passwords and the like. Still getting regular updates.

NetNewsWire: We used to recommend the lite version, but now we can recommend the full version, which of course is even better — and it’s gone free.

Cyberduck: Unless you have specialized needs, there is no real reason to pay for an FTP client.

Here are the newcomers:

Jumpcut: Multiple clipboards seems like a no-brainer feature, but it still isn’t built into the system. Of all the freeware options, we like Jumpcut best.

Transmission: The combination of a great interface and superior performance make this the P2P program of choice.

xPad: A tried a true method for keeping notes without the hassle of a learning cure. (Replaces Sidenote, which accidentally slid out from the side one time too often.)

MainMenu: Maintain your Mac from the menu bar with handy access to cron scripts, permissions and lots more. We know all about Onyx, but it’s overkill for our needs. (Replaces MacJanitor, which does only a fraction of the work.)

iStat menus: Sure it’s great to have neat little graphs in the menu bar to let you know how your Mac is doing under the hood. But even better is that you can customize the date and time to your heart’s content. (Replaces wClock, long abandoned by its developer.)

Firefox 3: At last, Firefox is speedy enough and Mac-like enough that we can recommend it on a par with Safari. (Replaces Camino, which is still loved, but lags in plug-in power.)

Smultron: Text editors have raw processing power missing in word processors, and for the Mac it’s hard to beat Smultron. It might not be as powerful as TextWrangler, but its clean interface and support for HTML have won many friends.

Here some others that get the boot:

Seashore: It was hard to let this one go. It’s just that we found 10 others we liked better. Seashore offers gradients, textures, anti-aliasing, multiple layers and alpha channel editing for your basic image editing needs.

Silverkeeper: Who needs it when you’ve got Time Machine? And even if you don’t have Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner is a much better solution. Or use the free version of SuperDuper along with Time Machine for the ultimate backup.

PixelNHance: It’s still a great program, but you’ll find much of its functionality in the latest version of iPhoto, which of course comes free with your Mac.

From converted train cars to converted prisons, we’ve come up with our picks of the 10 most unusual places to stay.

1. Edisto River Treehouses - Canadys, South Carolina

For those who refuse to grow up, a stay in a tree house is a dream
come true. Not only is it fun, but it’s clean, safe, and very
reasonable.

2. Celica Hostel - Ljubljana, Slovenia

If you’ve always wanted to spend a night in the slammer, now’s your
chance. Once a military prison, this happening hot spot is now an art
gallery and youth hostel

3. Schottenstift Monastery - Vienna, Austria

If the bellboys look like monks, you’re not imagining things. This
hotel is actually a functioning monastery where your wake-up call might
just be chanting.

4. The Red Caboose Motel - Strasburg, Pennsylvania

All aboard! Although they once travelled from city to city, these
little red cabooses now function as private hotel rooms. Needless to
say, kids go crazy for this place.

5. Propeller Island - Berlin, Germany

Art lovers rejoice! From upside-down rooms to levitating beds, it’s the next best thing to spending the night in a museum.

6. Schlosshotel Schnburg - Oberwesel, Germany

For a true fantasy experience, nothing beats a night in a genuine
castle. In spite of its long history, all modern amenities, including
Internet service, are available to guests.

7. Ariau Amazon Towers - Near Manaus, Brazil

Connected by a series of catwalks, eight buildings comprise this
compound, which has become a favourite of celebrities and everyday
travellers alike.

8. Hotel Sidi Driss - Matmata, Tunisia

The force was with the cast and crew of Star Wars when they filmed
at this out-of-this-world property. The amenities are minimal, but at
less than $20 a night, so is the price.

9. Euromast - Rotterdam, Netherlands

A tourist attraction by day, this imposing tower becomes an
exclusive hotel at night. Those wishing to give it a go should book
early; the tower’s two suites fill up three months out.

10. The Giraffe Manor - Nairobi, Kenya

Don’t bother with a “Do Not Disturb” sign. The long-necked visitors
who peek in through the windows of this extraordinary compound will
just ignore it.

There it is folks, if you have your own list, let me know

So I came up with this do we need one? lemme know your thoughts….

i thought it looks too visiting cardish no?

So i’ve frozen on the new look..for now…what have we changed?

Damn it…I’m sick again. I’m quite frankly sick of being sick…is there a cure for that…the minute I stopped working out, I’m sick again..and I can’t work out, cuz theres too much work…there’s too much work, cuz we’ll…there’s just too much work. This is not working for me. I been doing this for too long. I need to find my middle path, my zone of creative stimulus plus job satisfaction.

So finally got the wi-fi problem fixed at home! Whew! whatta relief!!

Anyway the story is the same.. feeling sick all over again. I have to stop eating out. I need my home made meals else, I might just relapse again.

Let’s face facts…everyone wants a perfect girl…one who’s honest, cute, smells great, has a great sense of humor, clever, she has to be sensible, intelligent and well read, but she also has to be a child at heart and not be too opinionated or outspoken about the things she knows, and especially not to the point where she
disagrees with him on any topic, and embarrass him in front of his
friends…okie so i’m letting myself go here…but what if you’re girlfriend is all this, but is a Nazi??

Questions to ask yourself to see if She’s a Nazi:

1) Does she have a swastika tattoo on her head?
2) Does she smile when she hear’s “Sieg Heil”
3) Does she make like the Rock, when she smells a burning cross in the yard?
4) Does she wear Doc Martin boots and do goose steps?
5) Did she always tag all greeting cards with the quote “Mein Kampf”?
6) Does she have a secret stash of the Nuremberg trials?
7) Whats her pets name? Goebbles and Goering?
Recall your first date…when you met her did she say “White Power”?
9) Is her every dress monogrammed SS?
10) Does she think you’d look great in a tiny mustache?
11) Does she think that mixing of races is blood pollution?
12) Does she drive a Panzer?

If you answered yes for the above…I think she’s a Nazi. Otherwise my name ain’t Kiran Krishna Bergstein
