i needed to be accessible to someone on another instant messaging system, so i finally took a look at adium. it’s a very nice little instant messaging application that supports the major instant messaging systems.

it took me some digging to figure out how to move the whole contact list around, though. you need to hold down the apple key and drag it.

the ichat in tiger will have jabber support, but i may end up sticking with adium. with the styling of the contact list it allows, it is much less obnoxious than the ichat buddy list.

too bad none of the instant messaging platforms has really opened up.

the mathmos tumbler is a very cool little light. it’s basically a rechargable brick that glows in one of nine different colors depending on which side you place it. (some sides alternate between two different colors each time you flip it to that side.)
