Why I would quit theming today.

  • 20 Jul, 2008

I love to create Firefox themes, make addons and lots of freebees that others often enjoy.  I do this on my free time and love to see people enjoy them.  But some days, I’m ready to throw in the towel. I’ve recently got a few comments from a visitor saying “hurry up and release the […]

The Plurk, SocialThing and Facebook Firefox sidebar extensions got a minor update today.  I just bumped the max version to work the the latest security release of Firefox 3. Are there any other site’s you’d like to see load in Firefox’s sidebar?

My First Apple App Store Purchases

  • 10 Jul, 2008

I was excited to see iTunes 7.7 this morning and then TUAW tipped us off as to how to get into the App Store. Excited to check it out, I found a few free applications and downloaded them. Nothing to exciting but the Remote application does let me control iTunes or Apple TV (if I […]

Plurk Screen Shot

I’m a big fan of Plurk, a micro blogging platform, that is often compared to Twitter.  It has basically taken me away from Twitter by fixing some of my big Twitter concerns.  The more I use Plurk, the more I realize how many limitations and issues Twitter currently has.

  • 23 Jun, 2008

After my recent success with Plurkit, I decided to take the idea to the next level and add in more social sites.  The outcome is SocialAddict which has 11 social sites within one Adobe Air application.

Plurk on Adobe Air

I’ve been playing around with Aptana and Adobe Air to see if I could create a basic application.  What I created was Plurkit; an Adobe Air version of Plurk mobile. Ok, I’ll be the first to admit, this is not as good as something like Twhirl. 😉 However, it is my first attempt at anything […]

Google Analytics Extension

I finally dug into GA? and figured out how to take it to the next level! GA? now checks the entire HTML page to see if it contains Google Analytics code.  Prior to 1.0, it only checked for analytics code within the body of a page. GA? is a Firefox extension that automatically detects if […]
