A handy little tool for making favicons. I have previously used a free Photoshop plugin to create favicons, but this site makes the process even easier!

This free application for Mac OS X is used to make site specific browsers. Don’t know what a SSL is? Here’s a demo video using Fluid to create a Muxtape application.

I found this video a while back on the 37 signals blog. The more I watch it, the more amazed I am by it.

Although I don’t think I would use it for a major project, this content management system looks like it could be great for smaller projects or individual pages that you might want to allow clients to edit.

I read a post about this application at the Unofficial Apple Weblog a few weeks ago, but didn’t have a chance to actually use it until recently. If you spend any time writing tutorials (either online or for print), you might want to check this out.

TechSmith’s Snagit and Camtasia Studio are some of the few things I actually miss after switching from PC to Mac. Luckily, their Jing project is available for both Mac and PC. Until they release a Mac version of SnagIt, Jing may be the easiest way to grab and share quick screenshots and screencasts.

If you need to make videos of your Mac desktop for tutorials, there’s no better tool out there than ScreenFlow by Vara Software.

I’ve had a blast using Skitch along with Screen Steps to create quick software tutorials. I planned on writing a post on using the two tools together for quite a while now but still haven’t managed to get around to it.

My recent experiences with Globat has led me to look for new cheap (and hopefully more reliable) web hosting. This company offers green hosting and powers all of their servers from solar panels.

I’ve been waiting for a Mac-based application to manage digital signage for a while now. Although Sedna Presenter will not be released until July 11, the company has recently released a demo video that looks quite promising.
