iWannaSleep
If you have never visited Boing Boing you are missing out. It is a great website chock full of interesting links.They mentioned iWannaSleep the other day, and it is a pretty nifty little app. It is basically a timer that will count down (a time that you set) and when the allotted time has elapsed it will do one of the following:
- Put the computer to sleep
- Shutdown the computer
- Stop iTunes
- Run an applescript

Rich: I couldn't agree more. It's one of the best pop culture blogs out there, but they're all a bunch of raving far-left loonies, and they unfortunately frequently pollute their astute blogging with moonbat nonsense. I don't understand how people who seem to be so original with their pop blogging can be so conventional in toeing the line with their politics. And there's, what, 4 or 5 of them - each with different backgrounds and areas of expertise, but they' all churn out a knee-jerk Michael Moorism or two on a regular basis. Sorry to further side-track the comments... but when putting people onto boing-boing it should always come with a caveat.
