If you've ever hacked an iPod, you know that the firmware is extremely easy to work with. That may be why there are so many customizations for the most popular portable music player on the planet. TrailRunner is such a mod. If you're a runner like myself, you'll no doubt find this incredibly useful.
"TrailRunner is a route planning software
for all kinds of long distance sports like running, biking,
hiking, inline-skating, skiing and more. If you ever asked
yourself how long your workout routes are and what route
you should choose for this evening — then TrailRunner
should be your training-partner. TrailRunner can calculate
a route for your desired distance and export directions
onto your iPod, giving you a detailed orientation while you
are on your way."

This is probably one of the coolest mods I've seen in a long time. While this was done with an old IBM keyboard, the premise can easily be done on a Mac. I know it gave me a lot of ideas!

Getting TiVo to work with Mac |

Tivo, as a company, is very similar to Apple. Both companies owe
their success to spectacular user interfaces and attention to detail.
Apparently the Tivo CEO is a Mac fan,
which is strange considering the amount of time it took for them to
support Macs for any of the functions that Windows users had been
enjoying for years, such as sharing multimedia from the PC and copying
videos to the PC. Also, for a while there were many rumors that Apple
would acquire Tivo, but in light of the introduction of the AppleTV,
that no longer is likely.
I have had my Tivo for a week now, and I enjoy it quite a bit. Besides
being a DVR that records what I ask it to, it also goes out and keeps
downloading things that I didn’t ask it for based on my taste and
preferences, which it learns over time. Also, if it is connected to the
Internet (which is the best way to have it), it will provide you with
weather, traffic, podcasts, movie showtimes and tickets, and all kinds
of other nifty features on your television. Also, the ability to send
it recording requests over the Internet is fantastic.
My experiences with getting the Tivo to talk with my Mac were quite
straightforward, but will apply to you in the following situations:
- You have a stand-alone Tivo Series 2.
- Your Tivo is on the same home network (wired or wireless) as the rest of your home computers.
- You have a Mac with OS 10.4 or higher.

If you're like me, you have a lot of applications on your dock and it drives you nuts. Most Mac users like things nice, tidy and clean; that's why we bought Macs. We can't stand clutter. We also like things organized in a categorical fashion. Now there's a simple answer. Adam Betts has designed a set of simple "dock dividers".
