Another week, another great list of some of the best websites, blogs and software I’ve discovered.

Permanently Remove ‘My Pictures’ in Windows Vista – The title says it all. It’s helpful when using Vista’s insta-search, when you want to look by P, not M.

Wubi – Install Ubuntu just as you would any other Windows application.

Colibri – A free and incredibly competitive option to the popular ‘Launchy’ app. It’s a quick to launch any application or file through a small GUI.

FreshApps.com – A new, up and coming website, to discover great iPhone apps.

TechCityInc – A great tech blog that covers blogging, software and web 2.0.

Sunday Finds 11.16.08 – Links, Websites and Blogs

Mixing it up a little bit this week for Sunday Finds. I typically write about various articles I find interesting, but I’m going to start linking towards not only articles, but great websites, blogs and excellent articles I’ve discovered in the past week or so.

SparkPeople.com – Far and away the best workout/fitness website I’ve discovered in the past month. I wrote a short article about it over at ConnectedInternet, if you’d like to read more.

MakeUseOf.com – My new favorite blog of the 2008. I not only am just finding it, I was recently hired to start writing for them as well. Look for my articles under the name TJ Mininday.

Popacular.com – An extremely simple Del.icio.us popularity organizer. I would have though Delicious would have come up with something like this long ago.

Go2Web20.net – The best of the best, for diving deep into the directory of Web 2.0 websites. It has so many sites now, that you have difficulty even opening it up, but if you’re patient, it’s a great place to find online applications and Web 2.0.

Boot and Nuke – Simple and clean hard disk clean-up utitlity. Leave not trace of old data.

Convert YouTube Video to MP3 Audio

Find an incredible cover songs on YouTube that you’d like to add to your playlist, or just want to download a quick news report that has been posted to the massive video site? Well, something like Vidtomp3.com has been something I’ve been looking a while. I’ve even gone as far as to download the YouTube video one of the handy Firefox extensions, then convert with another 3rd party app.

Vidtomp3 simply takes a YouTube video link and converts it the most popular of all video format…MP3.

Update: I’ve discovered MediaConverter.org is much better option.
