iJustine: I’m Tweetin’ Music Video

iJustine always makes me laugh. Her videos are so witty and goofy, they’re just hilarious. And the production quality is excellent. A pretty impressive computer whiz, entertainer and entrepreneur that Justine Ezarik!

This video below is obviously more fitting to me! (In case you didn’t know, I’m a Twitter user and app developer.) Coincidentally, I met Justine at the 140 Twitter Conference in Mountain View, California, a few months ago. She was on a panel. You can follow iJustine on Twitter at @ijustine.

Frankenstein by The Edgar Winter Group

Last week, I found and “Blipped” this 70′s rock classic on my DJ Den Blip.fm account, but just had to post on my blog. This must be the most far out, synergetic, groovy, 70s-style, live performance ever! “Frankenstein” from The Edgar Winter Group! Just had to share…

PS: Careful, the volume really high in the video. Or maybe it was made to be that way!

Bug Tracking Applications

Here are some good web applications and desktop software for “software defect management”, otherwise know as bug tracking.

  • Mantis – looks good and open-source, but somewhat difficult to install.
  • Bugzilla – from Mozilla. Pretty great, but more than what I need. Also difficult to install. I was able to easily install Free Virtual Bugzilla Server, but it’s just local.
  • Sifter – not open-source; costs money.
  • Lighthouse – not open-source; costs money.
  • BugNET – built using the ASP.NET, boo!
  • eTraxis – PHP-based; looks promising.

What’s your feedback on these, have you used any? Know any other good ones?
