I love the idea behind this!

Wired has posted a great interview with David Byrne and Thom Yorke on the real value of music. It’s a great article and definitely well worth your time!

The system firewall in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard underwent a major change and I’m pretty clueless on how to use it. Thankfully, Rich Mogull over at MacWorld has written an insightful article on how to set up and use it.

I highly recommend all Mac users running Leopard to read it.

Personas for Firefox is a extension that adds lightweight theming to your browser.

Personas is a prototype that builds upon the ideas that:

* themes today are too hard to find, install and use
* graphic designers should be able to style the browser without having to code
* browsers can be more than just desktop software, they can include online components
* people just want their computer to be a little more fun and personal

Features

* You can select a Persona from the dynamic menus and see results instantly without having to discover, select, download or install a separate bit of software or code.
* Personas can be added, removed or updated by their designers at any time, without requiring a software update.

A great way to customize the appearance of Firefox but the themes available as of now is rather limited.
