If you haven’t used Meebo yet, here’s a link that will open it up in a new window. www.meebo.com Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Ok, so now you know that it is a website that will let you stay connected with all of the major IM networks anywhere you are, even keeping your chat logs as you travel. Combine that with their “Meebo Me” service, which lets you connect directly with visitors to your website through a AJAX chat window (as I’ve implimented on the contact page of my design portfolio) and you’ve got a prime example of Web 2.0 making our online lives easier.
Meebo has been under the radar for a long time now, steadily growing in popularity through word of mouth. Now over at the Meeblog Elaine has shared some great news. Time Magazine is including Meebo in its list of the 50 Coolest Websites of 2006. This is some well deserved attention for the team behind Meebo, and I expect we will see a huge flux of traffic and development as they get pushed further into the public eye.

I am making progress on a dedicated Industrial Design portfolio. Now that I’m entering my second year in design school I feel that I’d really like a central place to show my work.
I’m making slow progress developing the site… you can see the progress at design.ocell.net. If you have any thoughts on it, please feel free to leave comments here!

On The Desk

I’ve had my Powerbook for nearly two years now… and I have fallen in love with the way OS X does things. My main machine has remained Windows though, so I haven’t been able to enjoy a lot of the productivity boosters like Quicksilver, Spotlight, Expose, and on and on the majority of the time. The Tax Free Weekend here pushed me over the edge and I picked up a 20″ iMac with the dual core Intel.
Wow.
This thing is great! I am slowly transitioning all of my data to it from my Windows desktop (pictured on the right) and am figuring out the best workflows for different jobs. I’m still struggling to figure out how I’m going to manage my photo editing.
Synergy has been a life saver during this process. I can control both computers with one mouse and keyboard, switching between the two by just moving my mouse from one screen to the other. I’m planning to format the Windows machine once all of my data is off and turn it into a 3D modeling workstation for my Industrial Design studio at school.
If you have any great Mac tips, or photo workflow tips, please feel free to leave them in the comments!
