Here’s a little snippet of code for placing anything (or your application) in a user’s Dock. Wrote it for a project I’m working on which prompts the user on first launch to place in Dock for them. I know many people disagree with this (as do I), but it’s what the client is paying for. [...]

From the IconFactory and DS Media Labs (IconFactory is behind Twitterific for Mac & iPhone, as well as the wonderful Frenzic for Mac & iPhone) comes Ramp Champ. The app is essentially a [...]
Apple announced that Snow Leopard will indeed be available starting August 28th. Seems like it has had enough time to be a stable release, and still come in a couple months before the official Windows 7 launch. Just wondering who is planning on purchasing Snowy on launch weekend? For the 29 dollar price point, I’m [...]
My favorite band by far has to be Three Days Grace. I connect with their music in so many ways and just love the sound. The previous album, One-X, was a pretty nice success compared to the ones before it and I have been eagerly awaiting another album since 2005. September 22 is the date [...]
