“groovy mother...”

This year’s mash-up-mega-mix. Amazing as ever!

Robin’s novella is now available as a CC-licensed PDF file. I’m about halfway through reading my copy, and proud to have been part of the Kickstarter project that funded it.

Perfect for copying onto your Kindle before you board a flight this festive season!

I love my new Magic Mouse, but was missing my middle click. This app adds it back. Hooray!

This is now my go-to Flickr photo uploader for the iPhone. Great UI, lets you queue up photos and upload in batches, free. Everything you could want, and nothing more. Ace!

Free car routing app for iPhone, which is using game mechanics (points & leaderboards) to crowd-source maps and traffic info. Initial prodding suggests it’s not ready for prime-time — you’re better off waiting for protonerds to fill up their data banks — but it might be worth watching in the future.

Oh my, this is rather lovely. A distraction-removing full-screen text editor (similar to WriteRoom), with a lovely background and jangly music!

Safari “plug-in” which fixes a bunch of my frustrations since switching from Firefox. This plus ClickToFlash rock my world!

Dropbox release a (free!) iPhone app the lets you access all your saved files. I almost feel guilty that I’m still on their free plan — They rock my world massively.

Plants vs Zombies is now playable online for free. If you haven’t already had a shot, you’re a fool.

Dead handy ncurses-based browser for git. It makes git diffs and blames much more manageable.

Replace the Apple graphic on OS X boot. Being a traditionalist, I’ve got with an old school Happy Mac.

OS X Safari users: Install this! Blocks Flash until you click on the object in Safari (and other WebKit-based applications). A way to mitigate the risk of the Flash exploit without completely nuking Flash Player from your machine.

Compilation of chiptunes covers of Weezer. Ace!

“F.lux makes your computer’s lighting adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.”

Handy lightweight process-launcher-and-watcher. Features like “restart this process if it swallows too much resident memory” are going to be handy.

I prefer Slacker’s personalized radio stations to Pandora, and their new iPhone app is top-notch.

The plugin for OS X’s Mail app which makes cryptography easily manageable.

Firefox extension to help avoid “crashed browser/lost textarea” syndrome.

Hurrah! Sleep your MacBook instead of hibernating it when you have sufficient battery life left. It was very annoying that I had to wait for OS X to persist 3GB to disk before I could pick up my laptop.
