The reason I can’t use it is because my machines are old and feeble. Actually, I love my PowerBooks… especially my 12″ (12″ PowerBook > MacBook Air. For serious… I would know). It’s just that Woopra runs on Java 6, and Java 6 is only available for for 64-bit Intel-based Macs. So no G4 or G5 love here. Which is lame.

But wait, there’s more… say I did have an Intel-based Mac… I still wouldn’t be able to just download Woopra and run it on my machine. Oh no sir. There’s more to it than that. And it isn’t very intuitive. Luckily, I know somebody who figured it out and posted instructions on how to install Java 6 on your Mac (provided it’s not an inferior Mac like mine).

So yeah, I just wanted to get that off my chest and share about how to install it on the Mac for those who are able to. I’m slightly jealous… but not jealous enough to ditch the 12″. The thing is just too cool for school.

Since I am writing for me, there won’t really be a “niche” to this blog… no one particular topic or subject. It will probably be pretty scattered. One day will probably be about golf, the next day about some television show, and two posts later could be a product review. I have no idea what I’ll talk about. You may learn something, you may be entertained, and/or I may piss you off. In any event, it should be exciting!

For those of you who hate to read, you’re in luck. The Poetic Prophet has a deliciously geeky rap song about SEO and site design and standards which pretty much covers everything John P. went over. John said he could do his presentation in 45 minutes… The Poetic Prophet does it in 3:22… as a rap song. I think we know who wins that round. I’ve embedded the video for your viewing pleasure after the break.

Thanks to whoever twittered this video earlier. It’s pretty much the only reason for me doing a post while I give this poor site the overhaul it so badly deserves. At least I now have guidelines on what to do and what not to do.

Before I go, take a minute and check out Woopra. It’s probably the coolest analytics application ever. I really wish I could explain how sweet it really is… unfortunately, I can’t. That would require a machine that has an Intel chipset… not a PowerPC. Lame. You’ll get me to give up my 12″ PowerBook when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands.
