Paint on virtual canvas

There are currently some rumors making the round about a Photoshop “killer” to be released at the next Apple show tomorrow. While I did a Google search to find out more, I’ve accidentally discovered a nice application that at least beats Photoshop at simulating paint on canvas.
The name of the app is ArtRage. The app […]

A nice del.icio.us “clone” for ebooks (pdf)

What del.icio.us is for website bookmarks is Yummy! Print(fu) for free pdf ebooks. Tags, users, RSS feeds … it works pretty much like every other social bookmarking service, but with two big differences, you bookmark your own pdf’s and you can order printed and bound versions of them.

I’m currently working on a WordPress plugin with the name “wikicache”. Here’s a first preview.

A beautiful generative art screensaver

I personally love generative art, I really do. Now I’m not like everyone else, so much is for sure, but even if you normally don’t like generative art, have a look at Turtledove Kingdom, a generative art screensaver (shareware) and definitely one of the most relaxing and beautiful of it’s kind. I wouldn’t be able […]

Teamspeak for OS X is coming!

As if any more good news couldn’t come out for Mac users, today a third party programmer announced a closed beta of “TeamSpeex”, a Mac compatible version of the very popular (PC & Linux) Teamspeak Voice over IP client for gamers.
So I was tired of waiting and seeing Mac users being left in the dark […]
