Safari 3.1 Bookmark Syncing Bug on Mac OS X 10.5.2 ★

I realized earlier today that my bookmarks had stopped synching between Safari and my iPhone — changes on either side didn’t get to the other. Nothing I tried in iTunes worked. This KBase entry has the solution: nuke the “RegisteredSafariSyncClient” preference in Safari using the defaults command.

Lightroom 1.4.1 ★

Fixes some serious bugs in the 1.4.0 update, which Adobe pulled a few weeks ago.

Google App Engine for Developers ★

Good overview of Google App Engine from Niall Kennedy.

Adventures in Rechargeable Batteries ★

Jeff Atwood on the state of rechargeable batteries, including the key insight that raw capacity isn’t the most important factor:

For one thing, there’s the issue of discharge rate. It turns out that massive 2500mAh capacity of the Energizer rechargeable battery doesn’t mean much when the battery drains itself within a month.

I asked on the Twitter, and many people are recommending Sanyo Eneloops.

Twitter Profile Page Ideas ★

Clever suggestions from Merlin Mann.

New Project Switcher in Basecamp ★

Nice video showing how 37signals sweats the details.

Good Spaces Tip ★

Good tip from Nat Irons: Shift-drag a window in Spaces mode to consolidate all windows from that app in one space.

Bill Buckner’s Fenway Park Comeback ★

Classiest thing the Red Sox have ever done.
