Without John Resig, the creator of jQuery, jMe wouldn’t exist. So I was really happy to see him give such a nice comment about my first jQuery project on the jQuery mailing list:
I really dig this. I think the UI is very well designed and the
animations are very tactful and well-placed.
My only suggestion is make […]
After a week of tests and bug fixes, it’s finaly time for the open beta of jMe, a feed aggregator with some new and unique features you’ll (hopefuly) like . jMe is currently aggregating a hand selected collection of OS X, Web 2.0 and programming related sources. In case the beta testers have missed a […]
As promised, here are some new PopulApp feeds. One gives you some overall stats from all submitted applications (top 50) and the other one gives you the same stats just for your own apps (top 25). Of course the overall stat still needs more users for some accuracy, so please support this service if you […]
Finally, a third OS X Code (r,s) application, but what is it? You may have noticed the recent app list inside the right sidebar of this blog, of course I’m not updating that list by hand, it’s automatically generated and updated from my two Macs. Basically there’s a small server-side API that can be pinged […]
When I first heard about plans to create a word processor for web browsers I was really skeptical, mostly because I feared too see clones of real applications that don’t add anything new and maybe even struggle to replicate the originals performance and feature set. However, after playing around with Writely for a while, I’m […]
Many professional designers will already know what Lorem Ipsum is, for the whole rest the following text will maybe look a bit like Latin with a few typos, but it will definitely not make much sense:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut […]
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.
Of course an Apple tag isn’t missing and […]
Creating a podcast isn’t exactly the hardest thing to do, but there’s a way so easy, even your grandmother could create one! It’s a free web service by the name podOmatic. They let you record your podcast with an online recording tool, so all you need is a microphone and an idea about the podcasts […]
Google is improving their search engine all the time. Philipp Lenssen has come up with a great list of such changes made this year, most with links to further information. For example did you know that now you can search for synonyms of words? Or that you can search for a whole range of numbers? […]
I’m sure you’ve already noticed the “Recently Played Songs” list on the right side of this blog (in case you not only read the RSS feed). Here’s how you can achieve the same if you run a WordPress based blog. You need three things:
1. Download and install the Audioscrobbler Plugin. This iTunes plugin and menubar […]
Maybe you’ve already wondered why there are short posts without the usual image, those posts are news diggs. News diggs are short news posts that link to an external article. The news are hand selected by me and are coming from the social news digging site digg.com. Some of them will be written or edited […]
The last blogging meme by Om Malik about the top 10 OS X apps was really useful, but these days web services have become very important as well, so there should definitely be a meme about those browser based applications as well. Here are the rules: Post your favorite web services on your own blog […]
StumbleUpon is a Firefox Extension and web service that helps you find interesting web pages, tons of them.

Folklore.org is currently collecting stories from the time the original Macintosh computer was built. Many of the stories are written by the people that have worked at Apple on the Macintosh project back in the day. There are a lot of nice anecdotes about Steve, Woz, Andy and all the other crazy guys that brought […]
Yes, the very popular web company that tries to assimilate every information on the web, has finally released a first native OS X application, the Gmail Notifier. While there were already a handful of third party tools that delivered more or less the same functionality, for example Gcount or GmailStatus, it’s good to know that […]
There’s something really cool shaping up right now. It’s an application/platform that makes Internet TV broadcasting possible for everyone. The application behaves very similar to podcasting in iTunes with a very similar RSS based technology driving it, just with one major difference, the medium they broadcast is video. What I’m talking about is DTV, […]
If you’re a Flash developer with a lot of great flash-games or flash-movies distributed to dozens of websites, some of them most likely without your knowing, then this service is something for you. MochiBot is an swf tracker and traffic monitor. You just add a small script (only a few bytes) to your swf’s and […]
TheStreet has an article up about some rumors going around that Google will add the iTunes Music Store somehow to their search engine. While it’s currently just a rumor, it would definitely make a lot of sense for both parties to further expand their brands and services. And if it doesnt end in an iTMS […]
Do you need a name for a new character in a MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game)? Or for a project you’re working on? Or even worse, for a .com domain? I’m sure you know the situation when all the great names are already taken and you just can’t come up with a free one […]

The first place you should […]
The global consciousness project is a scientific experiment to test if activity of consciousness in the world could have an effect on random number generators placed around the world. Based on the holistic characteristic of quantum mechanics, this could actually very well be the case and the data collected through the past years seems to […]

One of the most popular social web services is del.icio.us. The service let’s you share your bookmarks with the rest of […]
Today you have to do a bit more than just download and launch a Mac application, so be warned, it will not be as easy as usual.
The image you see above dynamicaly shows the current song played on one of my Macs and the uptime of the Mac I’m currently using. You can get the […]
All modern web-browsers have a search field, but if you use the internet a lot, one search engine normaly is’nt enough. In Firefox you can add more search engines to your search-box and than select one of them with a drop-down menu before you enter the searchterm. Better, but still not perfect. What if we […]
