I want to take a moment to thank everyone for submitting bug reports and fixes to Good Vibrations CSS. All of those fixes, including the ones for CNN and rottentomatoes, are in the current beta. You can download the beta here:

What better way is there to make your Surfin’ with Safari more enjoyable than sharing some Good Vibrations with your friends?

I don’t know about you dude, but all those ads on the web can really be a bummer!

I’ve messed with my Chromium theme on and off for a while now. And, here is what I came up with: since Apple is moving toward an iTunes 7 look, why not modify to match iTunes 7, but still hold onto the individuality of the different windows. Even though I am the guy who made Iridium (which started a...

Safari is my default browser (on both Mac OSX and Windows, I use Konqueror when in Linux). So, I wanted to harness Safari’s built-in capacity to use Custom Style Sheets as an ad-blocking solution. After looking around on the web, I found...

Old-timer mac users will remember the Desktop Accessory called Key Caps. Key Caps made it very simple to look up how to get your keyboard to input special characters. Apple dropped Key Caps in Mac OSX 10.2. So, I made Key Viewer.

Apple still ships the Keyboard Viewer as part of OSX, but without Ke...

I threw this Dashboard widget together in a few minutes using Amnesty Generator. It seems to work pretty well. Submit bug reports here and I will see what I can do about improving it.

I put this together because while looking around on the web, I found that someone else had made a gTalk widget. Wh...

In a few different posts, I have sung the praises of Journler the program where I spend most of my creative time on the mac these days. And, you may remember that I contributed some icons to Journeyer as a sort of donation in kind. Well, I just dusted off my bash scripting skills and wrote a simpl...

Though membership is open to anyone there are a few simple guidelines that you will need to follow to keep your membership current.

1. Login regularly

If you haven’t logged in in a long time, you might find your account deleted. The deletions are not automatic, I do them manually. So, there is n...

I have been really happy to see the interest in my “tweak themes”. I call them that since they are designed to be installed over existing themes (though some people say they like them over the standard Apple Aqua). I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who decided to sign up for the site so th...

Introducing MacOSX Tigger, the Tiger Apple should have released in the first place. All window shapes match and there are 2 shading options: Unified and Metal.

Since Apple started shipping internal skins in the iLife applications, Iridium doesn’t really provide a Universal UI anymore. Tigger is...

In the spirit of Iridium, let me take a moment to introduce it’s darker sibling: Chromium.

I have been working on a theme that applies the iTunes 7 look to all of MacOS X. I have taken interface elements from iTunes, Iridium, and from many themes built by other people in order to make this work. B...

I feel like I should start this post with something like rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Iridium has not seen an update since v1.9F. That F was meant to stand for final. And, it seems that Iridium still installs fine under 10.4.8, so there is no reason for an update. And, thoug...

My Dream App » News

Yes, it’s completely geeky. But, I submitted two ideas to My Dream App. It’s basically American Idol-Geek style. Some really big names in the mac world, including author David Pogue and Apple Co-founder Steve Wozniak (yes, you read that right) are judging the submissions. Priz...

I’ve mentioned before that I write the content that you see here on this site from a program called Journler. Phil Dow, who created Journler listed it as donationware — meaning that if you use it, you should donate something to the continuation of the Journler project. Not quite freeware, not qu...

I know that I haven’t posted anything new for quite some time. The semester at school was coming to a close among other things and that just got in the way of things like this. This time last year, I was coding Iridium and that took a lot of time and focus. This year, my design obsession has been he...
