Quicksilver Shelf Plugin — My First Screencast

As I was try­ing to kill time, I was research­ing Quick­sil­ver extend­abil­ity other than just quick-launching apps. Yes, I know Spot­light does it from the get-go.

My search led to a Lifehacker.com arti­cle (as usual, with this kind of things) writ­ten a while back about Gina Tra­pani’s Top 10 Quick­sil­ver Plu­g­ins (at the time: Novem­ber 2007). One of the plu­g­ins that intrigued me to check out was the Shelf module/plugin.

Congrats Lakers 2009 NBA World Champions!

What a nice Sun­day to remem­ber. It was a chal­leng­ing sea­son for sure. I was some­what dis­ap­pointed that LeBron couldn’t make it out West to lead his Cavs but nonethe­less am happy with the series against the Orlando Mag­ics. Even though the record books would have “4–1″, it wasn’t a dis­ap­point­ing series against Dwight Howard and team.

Undefeated LA 2009 Western Conference Champs Release

Other than this humon­gous Lak­ers ban­ner out­side of Sta­ples Cen­ter, there’s been a lot of exment in the air to get this year’s NBA Finals on its way. To add to it, Unde­feated LA will be releas­ing some merch in sup­port of the Lak­ers’ quest for their 15th NBA Cham­pi­onship. Though it sucks that the release won’t be till this upcom­ing Sat­ur­day, June 6th, its still in time for the sec­ond home game on Sun­day, June 7th.

Thanks Jackie!

A decade before Rosa Parks and the Mont­gomery bus boy­cott, two decades before Dr. Mar­tin Luther King Jr. pro­claimed “I Have a Dream,” a sig­na­ture event in the strug­gle for racial equal­ity unfolded far from Dixie.

On the after­noon of April 15, 1947, Jackie Robin­son emerged as an inspir­ing fig­ure in the civil rights move­ment when he became the first black man to play major league base­ball in the 20th cen­tury, mak­ing his debut with the Brook­lyn Dodgers against the Boston Braves at Ebbets Field.

Robinson’s tri­umphs in the face of big­otry evoked a sense of pride among black peo­ple and forced the rest of Amer­ica to con­sider anew the doc­trine of white supremacy.
