Today 1.5 is now out. It’s the biggest update since 1.0 back in the spring and features alarms, past due notifications and Growl support. If you have a Weblog, Twitter or just a group of Mac using friends, please do share the new with them.
If you are a blogger and want to write a review of Today on your site, get in touch and I’ll get you an NFR license.

“ Stop Looking for Occasions to Be Offended: If you have enough faith in your own beliefs, you’ll find that it’s impossible to be offended by the beliefs and conduct of others…You are the way you are, and so are those around you. Most likely they will never be just like you. So stop expecting those who are different to be what you think they should be. It’s never going to happen.
— Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
I’ve published RC1 of Today 1.5. If you want to check out the new features such as alarms, Growl integration, etc give it a shot. It’s a semi-public beta, but please don’t publish it on any news sites, update sites or blog about it. It’s not fully cooked just yet.
I’ve published beta 2 of Today 1.5 to my Satisfaction forum for further testing. If you’d like to test out the new features, check it out.

I am absolutely obsessed with the new MTV Music Web site. More than just the actual video archives is the old VMA performances that are available. This Oasis performance is probably one of my favorite live performances ever. Noel Gallagher rocks a Union Jack guitar like no one else.
Today 1.3.1 (and an unfortunate 1.3.2) have been released. The major change is a fix that will resolve an issue with the time change over the weekend not causing the date browser to be off by a day for the next week or so.
I’ve preordered one of the new 15” MacBook Pro’s from Amazon, so I am now selling my 6 month old 15”. Here’s the specs:
2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
4GB RAM
250GB RAM
GeForce 8600M GT 512MB Video
Glossy Display
802.11n Wireless & Bluetooth
Mac OS X Leopard
iLife 08
Unopened Extra Battery
Under warranty until March, and you can still purchase AppleCare
Rather than sticking a firm price on it, I’m going to ask you to make me a reasonable offer. If you’d like to put an offer on the table, shoot me an email. I’d imagine shipping being around $40 or $50 with insurance (I have all my stuff professionally packaged as a PostNet store).
I’ll be taking offers until Monday at which point I’ll sell it to the highest, reasonable bid.
