It was kind of a slow news day today, so I talk about some favorite apps I discovered thanks to some of my favorite blogs. I start with an application called Network Magic that I found via The Red Ferret Journal. Network Magic simplifies management of your home or small business network. It includes tools for troubleshooting, testing your Internet connection speed, adding devices to your network, sharing folders, sharing printers, modifying wireless security settings and fixing problems.

From eHomeUpgrade, I found out about a video management application for Macs. The latest version of yFlicks organizes your video files, converts video files for different players and manages downloads.

A piece on Lifehacker spells out exactly how Windows users can backup, organize and play DVDs using several downloadable apps.

I discovered an idea in it's early stages called Journey2Work after they supported our Big Trip by buying an ad on PaidByPixels.com. The idea is to have people post photos and a narrative on their journey from home to work. Only three people have posted their journeys so far. I'm going to post mine (all the way from upstairs to downstairs) and I hope you guys post yours. I love stuff like this.
