Awesome Mac-based video guestbook for your wedding

This is how fast I’d like to be able to bring you the awesomeness on my constant quest for it: I literally just saw this tweet by @LelaNewYork and I had to share this very cool idea with you.

LOVE: Awesome Wedding Video Guest book! Works on a MAC... http://bit.ly/bMqfwi”” On 9:42 PM Aug 2nd 2010 from Twitter for iPhone

.

For $99 US, Thrilled For You sells software for a customized themed video guestbook. You install the application and run an iMac or similarly iSight equipped Mac in kiosk mode at your wedding or reception. Then, as the emotion moves them, your guests, your family, your friends, your former lovers will take turns standing in front of the camera and expressing just how happy they are for you… or how drunk they are.

It’s a brilliant idea and you can download a demo for free. [Via Lela New York Wedding Blog]

On Your Desktop

This week’s freeware picks all have something to do with your desktop, from expanding it to keeping it well informed.

mu On Your DesktopDesktops Manager

This handy menu extra allows you to spread windows over multiple virtual desktops. Better yet, it provides you with tiny previews of each of your desktops along the menu bar. This is a must have for video editors, Flash programmers or anyone else who wishes that had an extra monitor.

mu On Your DesktopNewsMac

Bring headlines to your desktop with this simple, free newsreader. For the most part, this newsreader isnít any different than most, except for the iPod and Palm synchronization. That alone will make it an attractive choice for iPod/Palm owners.

mu On Your DesktopSaft

Saft is a full-screen tool for Safari. This plug-in adds a command to Safari to completely cover your desktop (like kiosk mode). TIP: Uncheck the tool bar and address bar on the “View ” menu for the total full-screen effect.

Okay, so I was stretching the “desktop” theme a little far there. I realize that. I’ll try harder next week.
