I found Forget Me Not 3.0 for Safari (free) today via Daring Fireball. Forget Me Not saves the current set of tabs when you close Safari, and re-opens them the next time you launch it. It’s not a huge deal, just one of those little things I’ve been missing in Safari ever since I started [...]

MacSanta is the latest OSX software promotion, offering 20% off a very large list of applications from some great developers. If you haven’t seen it already, it’s worth taking a look at.

The cost is $49, and it includes some great apps such as Delicious Library and TextMate. On top of that, 25% of your purchase goes to a charity of [...]

Runner’s Log, my latest OSX application, is finally available for download. Get more information here, or go directly to the download.
One of my goals from the start was not to spend a lot of time adding extra features, but to get something out to the public where I can see what other people want from [...]

Stay tuned for the first beta. Moving into a new apartment has delayed things a bit, but it’s on its way.
