Transformers & some favourite apps for the Mac

Went to see Transformers yesterday, man what a ride. Awesome movie, the SFX alone are worth the ticket. All in all I thught it was great, I didn’t even think about the “differences” introduced in the movie in contrast to the olden goldies. Like Optimus actually having lips, Megatron not being a flying Gun (always thought that looked like blah anyway).

Also, phew. After a while now I’ve started to find new good apps for the mac.

I looked long and hard for a good utility to convert videos on the Mac and after fumbling around with ffmpegx and the likes of it I just today found VisualHub (I’m too lazy to hyperlink this so Google ahead), it is an awesome little application that does exactly what it is supposed to do, no fuss, no nothing. Perfect for converting to my PSP and my PS3 (also of course works well with all the Apple stuff, Iphone, Ipod, Apple TV).
The app costs 200 SEK and I bought it.

Another favorite app is FlickrExport and KeywordAssistant, two apps I could not do without for getting my photos to my Flickr account in an easy manner. KeywordAssistant is free but FlickrExport costs like 160 SEK, I bought it.

I’m using Fetch right now for my FTP needs, but will look into other options later. John mentioned some app I will try out. For BitTorrent I am currently using Transmission, which does the job but it ain’t uTorrent, but that will soon be out for Mac.
