- Spring 1.0, an innovative new Mac OS X application for visually organizing your life. I talked with Robb Beal about it for over an hour last night, and got a walkthrough of some of the technical details, and some upcoming features. It’s still rough around the edges but the concept is sound and very exciting. Check it out.
- First Monday: Users with Disability Need Not Apply? A study of web accessibility in Ireland. Not encouraging.
- MacCentral: Spaceward Ho! 5, now runs natively on OS X. I can’t count how many hours I spent on this game in 1991-2. We strung network cables between the second story windows of our dormitories in order to play against each other. ThinNet cables. With Farallon connectors. Or something. It was later described by unamused administrators as a
rogue Appletalk network
. Must… resist… temptation…
- Dean Allen: Textile, a PHP-based text-to-HTML generator, using a wiki-like syntax to author text, then converting it to anal-retentive semantic markup. I’ve discussed this before, and Les Orchard has something similar for Movable Type.
- Matthew Baldwin: Holiday Survival Guide for Slackers.
Let’s get all of the urination-centric gifts out of the way at once.
