I’ve had quite a few people wonder where Tinseltown was.  In my mind, Christmas is still a little ways away and it’s easiest to build a Christmas theme when you are in the Christmas mood.  However, I pulled together an early release of Tinseltown for Firefox 3.

What’s an early release?  Well it just means that it’s not completely updated.  I didn’t spend to much time theming all the new elements in Firefox 3.  I just quickly coded them to match with the theme.  There is so much more I want to do, and will do.  But for now, the early release will bring back the familiar Tinseltown look and feel for those that want to get int he holiday spirit now.

With Halloween coming up, a Nightmare Before Christmas wallpaper for an iPhone or iPod Touch is a must have!  Here is the first one I’ve come up with featuring Jack Skellington himself!

It’s already at the correct iPhone size and the placement of the graphics is optimized for for the iPhone as I left space at the top for the time and date and Jack is nicely centered on the iPhone screen.

Enjoy Nightmare Before Christmas fans!

Also, be sure to check out my Firefox theme HalloFF featuring Jack Skellington.

I’ve been tweaking HalloFF over the past few weeks to add a bit more Halloween to the theme.

Here is what is new in the most recent version.

• New scrollbars featuring bones.  Jack Skellington is the Bone Daddy after all.
• New right click menus featuring orange options with green highlights.
• New tabs that should resemble grave stones.
• New creepy fence background for the bookmarks toolbar and other toolbars.
• New light up pumpkin throbber.
• Added a bit of orange to the find bar background.
• Cleaned up the big back button as there was some minor issues that only I probably saw.

Good news Halloween fans, HalloFF, and Jack Skellington, have risen from the dead for Firefox 3!!  The theme is now Firefox 3 compatible and ready for you to enjoy.

It’s a dark theme with quite a few elements shared with MidnightFox, however, the buttons are orange with green rollovers and Jack Skellington shows his face a few times throughout the theme.

Enjoy this little Halloween treat from me to you!

If you’re looking for a nice Valentines day theme for Firefox, check out PinkHope. It’s heavy on the pink and should work out well. Better yet, it’s completely free.

Granted, it wasn’t designed especially for Valentines day, but it works. PinkHope is actually a theme to help spread breast cancer awareness. It just happens to be a good Valentines Day theme too.

This year for Christmas, my wife got me an iPod Touch! This little device is extremely cool and I’m completely addicted.

I now have an iPod that plays videos and Handbrake will become my new friend. It also has a calendar built in with two way syncing with iCal. Cool!

And lets not forget Safari. I sit at home on it and surf the net. I’ve already spend hours looking up iPod Touch (or iPhone) web apps. I just wish there was a way to download them and use them offline. I guess I’ll have to wait until February when Apple should start letting developers build offline apps for the iPod Touch.

It’s been a hectic month and I can’t believe that this is only my third post in December. I guess when it gets busy, it gets busy.

However, I just wanted to take a moment and thank all the readers and visitors to Blog on a Stick. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all that jazz!

It’s that time of the year again. Time to put up the lights, shop till you drop and dress up your Firefox with Tinseltown, a Christmas theme.

I’ve no formal update plans for Tinseltown, so I’m asking you. What would you like to see updated?

I’ve been running Tinseltown for a few days and there are no major issues that I see. But you may be seeing something that I’m overlooking. So please do share.

I was looking for a nice Thanksgiving background for my iMac and came up short. So I created one.

Everyone has something to give thanks for this Thanksgiving, even if it’s hard to see.

So what are you dressing up for Halloween? My costume (for work) is kinda lame but kinda funny. It’s a visual thing so here you go.

What am I?

I’ll post the answer in the comments later today after my co-workers give me grief for it.
