A Twitterrific theme for Bluebird, a new Twitter app for Mac.

It's safe to say that I'm a Twitter addict. I've been around the Twittersphere for a little over a year now.

Throughout that time, I've been almost exclusively a Twitterrific user (or Tweetie on the iPhone). The interface is a superb minimalistic design. It's straightforward, out-of-the-way, and works flawlessly.

An OpenID provider must never be down. MyOpenId.com, why are you down?

Update: Before you get too bummed about myopenid.com in this article, take a look at Larry's comments from JanRain below. Every now and again, you'll find a company that goes out of their way for true customer support. MyOpenId.com appears to be one of those companies.

Sunburst Geshi CSS pack

As some of you may or may not know, I'm completely redesigning my blog. Actually, this is the first time I've had time to design my blog in the first place. Anyhow, one of my major requirements for the new design is excellent code syntax highlighting support.

FW: Diary of a Web Developer: Guiding the client from wireframes to design

Pete Karl, a colleague and developer at GateHouse Media, wrote an excellent blog post summarizing a current project we're working on. He outlines some best-practice guidelines for project management, from the early discovery stages to wireframing to first-draft design mockups. It's well worth the read.

My entry into the ‘Cool Kids with Cameras Cooking Club’ - Grilled Hawaiian Pork Tenderloin

Well, after being one-upped, two-upped and three-upped by Pete and Lauren, I decided to go out and get myself a snazzy new grill so I can get back into the cooking scene. When I say 'back into', I mean 'start'. My psuedo-chef position at Wegmans doesn't count, I don't think.
