Hey everyone I have to take a break from posting the next couple days. I'm helping at a firework stand and I'm one of the only people they can rely on so I have to take a couple days off from this cause I'm going to be so packed. I'll have time to answer some emails and stuff if I have to I just don't have the time to post. Once again I'm sorry but this is something I gotta do.
Tell next time ~ Jeremy

So Your Dock Is A Little Crazy
Well alot of people when they get new apps just add it to there dock. So then they get this huge dock minimized to its smallest capacity. Well I'm going to show you some cool work arounds for your dock.
First thing is first get application enhancer and then get clear dock. Doing this is going to make your dock look so much more user friendly and you can change the color of the border to match your current desktop or theme. If you don't like Unsanity that's one of there apps so if you don't like em don't download it. I just love having a clear dock though lol
Ok now to get all those icons out of your dock, And the best way I have found to do that is Overflow. It adds one icon to your dock and you click it, And it opens up and you can have categories of your apps and you can put all your apps in em. I love this app it is really quite useful for shrinking your dock size.
Now you can move the dock around where ever you may like. Heck if you want it at the top next to the menu bar use Mac Pilot. That will get it up there.
Now I don't really use this app but if you really want your dock to look different you might consider Skin a Dock. It won't be the coolest thing for those who want there mac to have a really nice clean look but if you want your dock to look cool and look like no on else's you might consider this app.
Now you can also add as many docks as you want. So you can categorize your dock's to use for certain things and only put certain apps in em. So if your doing video stuff wip out the video dock and then you got your video dock. The app is called Dock Fun. Now I like Overflow much better but you might like Dock Fun.
Well I hope I pointed out some cool apps for you to help you get your mac more customized to the way you want it.

Add It To Your Menubar
This post is going to be about what I got in my menu bar and hopes that I can help you get some cool stuff in there. Now you may not want to put to much in your menu bar cause you will get quite a bit in there lol. But here we go.
First thing I have in my menu bar that you may like to have is ByteController It adds a previous and next track button and a pause/play button to your menu bar. It is used to control your itunes of course and it can be handy at times.
Then there's WeatherSnitch. This app shows your current weather outside and also has a detailed forcast. Just enter your zip code and it will show up. It also has growl support so everytime the weather is updated it will show you also.
Then there's iStat Menus. It adds the stats of anything you choose for it to track onto your menu bar. I have mine showing my networks current upload and download speed. I also have it showing my proccesor usage and I also have it showing my ram usage. It by far is a really nice app to have and of course all these apps are free so thats really nice.
I also have my clock changed to show like this. Wed Jun * 27 * 2007 * 2:48PM. It's really nice cause I can see date and everything just by looking up into my task bar. The tutorial can be found at this link. Now that is the topic of the video that will show you how to do it.
Well thanks for reading and hope to hear from you all.

Keeping Your Mac Running Smoothly
Ok I had a request for this so I'm going to help you guys the best I can. I use apps and stuff to do this so I'll name the apps and put links so you guys can get em to.
I can say my number one app I use to keep my computer running top notch has to be "Onyx". Made by Titanium Softwares. It does one heck of a job doing anything you need maitnence for. I use to clean all my caches, repair permissions and optimize my system. It is really the one app I recommend and the only thing I use. I've had the iMac G5 for over 2 years and its still running as good as new. So definitley get this app. It can be found out this link. http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html
Now another app that is awesome to have is "Mac Pilot". It unlocks alot of hidden features and turns stuff off that you dont want running. I use it to turn off my dashboard when I dont need it cause it is quite the ram hog. Mac Pilot is made by "Koingo Software" and can be found at http://www.koingosw.com/products/macpilot.php. So if you want to keep your system optimized and running in tip top shape I suggest using these two apps.
If you would like to see more questions answered go ahead and contact me =)
