Jet Audio Player and some Awesomer Skins!


When it comes to playing back tunes on your computer, it seems like everyone has an opinion of what they believe is the awesomest media player-thingy out there. The ones that always seem to pop up are the big three: Winamp, Windows Media Player, and iTunes. Foobar seems to be really popular as well. But I wonder how many casual users are aware that there are so many other alternatives to what they are using?

One that sticks out from the pack to me is the jetAudio player. jetAudio may not be what everyone on the planet is looking for, but I think it's worth checking out. There are a lot of things that it is really awesomer at doing. The first reason that I like to use it is for it's available eye candy. Now I'm admittedly an old-school guy who likes the look of component systems, so the skin you see here may not be your cup of tea (read = Foobar fans), but there are small and sleek skins to choose from as well. And awesomer DJ skins ta boot!

Incidentally, jetAudio does a fine job at playing back video as well, despite it's one-dimensional sounding name. You even get a useful video format converter built right in. That way you can quickly convert the video you're watching to be able to play on your iPod or any other system or device without opening up another swiss army knife video utility program. Simple is good. And most or all of the other stuff you're used to using in the other popular players will be found here as well. To see jetAudio's complete feature list, just click here and scroll down to "features".

Please tell us all what media player(s) you use and what you like about them!!!

What is it about this awesomer clip that had me laughing for longer than I care to admit? I thought I was immune to locker room humor for reasons of over-exposure or (hopefully) only naturally responding to more "refined" or "witty" humorous expressions. But THIS, THIS awesome thingy had me laughing and I couldn't stop it. Any 10-year old could have created the scene, but it still somehow connects deep down, where the all the other thingys we'd rather not be all hang out together. I guess I have a 10-year old living deep inside after all.

Long live Pull My Finger tricks and Fart Jokes!

Keybreeze - An Awesomer Launching Utility!

To enjoy this site as intended simply press F11. Pressing F11 again will return to normal.






CATEGORY: SOFTWARE

Keybreeze, an awesomer app-thingy for launching programs on your computer, is a direct competitor to the popular, powerful, and free Launchy. With Launchy not only able to launch programs, but to also search the web, open nearly any common file, check the weather, and perform advanced mathematical calculations, what could Keybreeze possibly offer to top that? Well, let's see. First off, there is a non-install USB stick version available. Next, it can do pretty much all that Launchy is capable of, plus recording macros to automate common tasks, check diagnostic readings on your computer (CPU & ram usage for example), change the appearance and settings of windows, have multiple text items on a clipboard "ready to go" when you need them, and create multi-colored sticky notes with reminder functions built-in! And all with extremely low CPU usage. And for free. And that is awesome. Awesomer than Launchy? I wouldn't dare say that, but I would dare say that it is truly ONE AWESOME THINGY! (Jeez, ya'd think I own the company or something...)




If you're the kind of person who understands things better by doing them, you may just want to get Keybreeze and see for yourself how powerful it is and how much time and effort it could save you. Get Keybreeze here (and Launchy here if you're curious.) You may also find useful:
