Customize with CandyBar

Those of you who have used Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger know that User Interface customization was typically an easy task and allowed you to make your Mac more your own. However, the software that users used to make these graphic changes in the past no longer works on Leopard and above. But have no fear! Candy Bar saves the day with a drag and drop interface to easily change any icon from a standard application icon to a system or volume icon. For just $29, Cnady Bar allows you to use free icon packs from The Iconfactory to change things up a little. Candy Bar also allows the customization of the dock. You can replace the background texture, "landing strip" seperator, lights and arrows and even convert the dock back to the old 2 dimensional version. Candy Bar is a must have for any Mac geek with a need for a personalized touch.

Online Names

Do you have an online name you always use? Or do you have different usernames for each website. My user name for anything is thundermonty. David Di Franco is thecreativeone and Chris Pirillo is Lockergnome. There are advantages of having the same online name. Lets say someone likes your youtube videos. They'd take your username and search it in Twitter or Friendfeed. If you use the same username people can find you better. Search Google for thundermonty and you'll find me. They are fun to have and sound good. So remember to have a online name that is easy to type and easy for anyone to remember.
