Do I condone what Tiger Woods did? No. Does that mean we can’t have a quick laugh off of a mobile app that plays off of his bad decisions? Why certainly not. Enter the realm of “TigerTexts”. First I’d like to highlight the name is brilliant, genius, funny, if even it is a bit brash. But that’s beside the point. The real focal point of this app is that texting can be done in “safety”. Safety of course meaning that anything and everything you say self destructs after a short time (60 seconds to be exact) on both the sender and receivers phones! Ya, that’s nifty. For the behind-the-scenes action, both users have to have TigerText installed so that any and all traces of your poor decisions are erased from reality.
And just to toss in there, TigerTexts founder Jeffery Evans, “TigerTexts” got it’s name BEFORE the whole Tiger Woods scandal. Hmmm, releasing an app to hide shifty conversations, slapping a cute little furry tiger on the icon, and claiming all was set in stone before such a mass publicized scandal was leaked to the world seems a little hard to believe at this point.
Benefit of the doubt?
- Pick up TigerTexts in the App Store (iTunes Link) for free (trial) or pony up $1.49 – $2.49 per month depending on how important hiding that
second third ok…those multiple lifestyles you so desperately want to keep under wraps.
You could always be hiding mom’s Christmas present, no…?

It’s the weekend. Time to relax right? Right! So how about a little more light hearted reading? Or maybe you’re looking for a small weekend project to keep you occupied? Well, I’m going to kill two birds with one stone here: The iBook G4 Clock.
If you’ve got an old iBook G4 sitting around or you know where to pick one up cheap, ripping out the internals and turning it into something a bit more useful in the age of Macbook Pros and quad-core mobile processors seems just about right.
If you’re not into the whole “weekend project” type of thing you’re in luck. Someone is doing the work for you and asking a small $75 fee for the trouble. If you’re intrigued, that someone goes by the name “pixelinfo” and can be found selling the iBook G4 Clock over on her Etsy page. Have at it.

While iChat is a pretty decent multi-IM Apple grown client, it isn’t perfect. Thankfully there’s Adium, one of if not the most popular 3rd party multi-IM client for Mac. Those of you who have been clamoring for Twitter and/or IRC support in Adium have for some time now had to go through life half empty, never quite feeling like yourself. However, this empty and hollow feeling can now be replaced with joy, happiness, and a chorus of keyboard typing pecks for hours on end as Adium’s ever longer growing list of features will now please even the most stubborn sticklers. You will now be able to put down your protest signs and return to normal living as we know it. So what does the new bird bring to the much loved fruit?
