Azarhi Software: Do Something When
Great idea. Software which responds to the proximity of other devices and connections. Basically make other software respond in the same way photo software does when a camera mounts. Currently free, but a Pro version is forthcoming. I assume it will include a fee.
A nice easy program for making distractions fade into the background. The only items which appear are the active window(s) of a single app, the dock (which can be set to hide) and the menu bar. Nice for helping yourself focus and for grabbing very clean screenshots.
45 Best Freeware Design Programs
There is just nothing better than free software. Especially useful software. I downloaded Terregen, which looks interesting even if it isn’t a good replacement for something like Bryce or Vue. Always something to learn from.
Hah! People have been complaining about the lack of a good interface for burning media in Mac OS X. Now, someone comes out with the simplest little interface on the planet. Obviously the exact design which should have been part of the Finder in the current version of X. Of course, Leopard will probably have something just like this…
Peter Maurer â–¸ Software â–¸ Witch
This is just too good. Being able to alt+tab between windows might be the number one shortcut I miss from Windows when I’m on a Mac. And donationware to boot. Awesome.
While you’re there, check out Butler. Another app I use to create the quickstart links I like from Windows (not a big fan of the Dock).
Split Browser | Firefox Add-ons | Mozilla Corporation
My buddy Thomas sent this to me. Interesting, but I’m kind of so-so about this idea: being able to split a single pane in Firefox to show various URLs. I love Firefox and never use IE (except to test sites I’m designing), but it can be a memory hog. Wonder what this will to do it?

And, even more Mac apps. Sweet.
10 Programs I Can’t Live Without…All New for 2007!
Ten more Mac Apps. PDFlab and Renamer look cool. Witch looks interesting, but I don’t really need any more interface modifiers on my Mac.
Brusheezy - Download Free Photoshop brushes and patterns.
Well, seems I need to reboot the Mac for some updates. So I’ll blog my three bits instead of casting them to browser links.
Brusheezy isn’t just a collection of brushes and patterns. It also gives you a sample of each on the site and which are compatible with which OS.
Translated version of http://www.digitalwaters.net/progetti/2006/12/27/instantshot-v2.html
The original page is in Italian (I believe), but the program is used to capture screen images, even multiple over time. Looks pretty nice. I’ll test it to replace the Widget I use for the same thing. Instant Shot, combined with Desktopple, would make for some nice, clean screen captures.
