Ladies and Gentlemen, I think I might have accomplished my mission. Bigbluebottle has finally jumped into the game! Sure, he’s got bigbluebottle.com and a few other smaller blogs that he works on, but nothing that I would consider ‘taking the plunge’. Bottle’s got a head chock full o’ information about the tech and IT world, and I’ve been urging him for a while now to leap into the frying pan with the rest of us, and start contributing content to the world wide internets.

Let’s call this first entry a super soft launch of his new venture allogeneo.us. Spiffy URL name as well I might add. Very web2.0y.  Bottle’s managed to kick this one off with a bang, providing us with 25 mac apps you can live without, but shouldn’t. A selected excerpt:

Multimedia:

• ImageWell: If you just don’t have time for all the nuances and intricacies of Adobe Photoshop or GIMP, and just want to do some very basic image manipulation, use ImageWell.
• Audacity: At first, I’d have labeled this as a basic audio file editing tool, but since it supports VST plugins, you quickly learn that this little free tool has a LOT of power behind it.

• Blender: This one is a bit more of a niche product. Very powerful 3-dimensional modeling too.

Read the rest of this highly useful article over at allogeneo.us. And congrats B, welcome to the party!
