With the kind of videos being uploaded onto YouTube, this site is definitely not kid friendly. Due to this I had forbidden my kids to visit the site and started looking for alternatives. After a bit of Internet searches, I stumbled upon a YouTube like site called “TotLol” or short for Tot Laugh Out Loud. This is basically a site that have a collection of online video clips for kids. Researching more about this site I found a bit of a background here.

VMWare Fusion had been giving me some problems with Spaces with its last 2 software updates, and its very annoying actually. As a developer, I usually designate different desktops or “spaces” for specific functions or apps that I use for my day to day work.

This had been working well for me for quite some time, until Fusion had issues whenever I switch back from another desktop back to my virtual appliance.
