All Chrome all the time
I’ve been using Chrome as my default browser for nearly six months. It won Best Browser in my Best of 2009 list. I didn’t even realize it had been that long until I went back through some of the things I wrote about Chrome here in First initial, last name. To be more specific, actually, [...]
Open a file from Terminal with Coda
If you’re like me, you love Coda. Well, you may find the need to open a file, or set of files, from Terminal in Coda. Gregory Tomlinson has created a bash script to let you do just that.
Side note: I’m hoping to one day find the time to update this script to allow me to [...]

Feature list of Wordpress 2.9
Speaking of Wordpress 2.9, here is an exhaustive feature list from Dougal Campbell.
My poor buddy list
In late August I opened iChat, as I typically do, only to see that no one was online. Having quite a few people in my buddy list this makes for a strange occurrence. I rarely see an empty buddy list. A few hours go by and I check it again, still – no one. After [...]

This is not Things roadmap, yes it is
More opaque than transparent but I believe this is a pretty good mix. Cultured Code shares some insight into upcoming version(s) of Things. More software companies should offer insight like this.

Why Google Chrome for Mac is important to get right
I’ve been playing with recent developer preview releases of Google Chrome for Mac and I got to thinking about how important it is for Google to get the Mac version of Chrome right. Not for Google, really. For us, the users.
As it stands Safari is far and away the best browser available on the Macintosh. [...]

I’ve got a Fever, and the only prescription is more subscriptions
Shaun Inman, the very same lad that brought Mint to the world, is now throwing his hat into the feed-reading arena in a very different way.
Fever is a download-and-install Web-based feed reader that has a “what’s hot” twist. Keeping up with a lot of feed subscriptions is a challenge and so Shaun has created a [...]
What you get and don’t get with the iPhone OS 3.0 update if you have an original iPhone
Eliza and I have original iPhones. Day one iPhones. They are just shy of 2 years old. They’re still gorgeous, still work well, and we couldn’t be happier with them.
Today Apple released the third version of their iPhone OS aptly named iPhone OS 3.0. This release boasts several improvements and new features – however, not [...]

Chrome for Mac developer preview and extensions
Ever since Google release Chrome, their browser, I’ve been waiting with bated breath for Chrome for Mac. Thanks to my friend Jake Dahn I got a copy of the developer preview. Its really fast. Faster than Safari on the Mac. I’m excited for a more stable and complete beta at which point I plan to [...]

Beak, a fantastic Twitter client from Mike Rundle
John Gruber made an excellent point in his piece called “Twitter clients are a UI design playground“. The excellent point I’m talking about is made apparent within the very title of the piece. That Twitter (I’m @cdevroe, btw) is an excellent playground for designing UIs for third party clients.
Mike Rundle, whom I had the extreme [...]

Justin Blanton reviews Tweetie
He really turns the app on its back and gives it a thorough look. He managed to find a few gems, in the first version of the application, that I never even new were there.
Reading his review, albeit late and after an update has already been released for it, has inspired me to dive [...]

Tweetie for Mac – a new Twitter client
Yes, another Twitter client (I’m cdevroe by the way). However, this one comes from atebits – the company that brought us the highest ranked Twitter client for the iPhone, also named Tweetie.
Tweetie for Mac, which I’ve been using all morning, allows for multiple accounts, posting from the browser, auto URL shortening, and much more. Although [...]

MarsEdit 2.3 is out and supports Tumblr
You may have seen me quip about MarsEdit the other day on Twitter. Really, though, it is an excellent piece of software that should be given a go by anyone that writes a lot.
I’m spoiled by a rich-editor in Wordpress, that saves drafts automatically and even has multiple revisions, and so I’m sticking with Wordpress [...]

Glims for Safari
Glims for Safari is a input-manager hack (I think) that enables a few ‘nice to have’ features. First, it adds favicons to tabs. I am not sure about you, but the new tabs (when you have a lot of them) are really hard to tell one from another. This helps. It also does things like [...]

Tags, the way Apple should have done it
Tags is a UI for adding tags to Spotlight on Mac OS X. I think Apple should have made it this way from the beginning.
