DreamMount
A Mac OS X tool for mounting your Dreamhost account on your computer, created for DreamHost’s API Contest (winners were announced today). I haven’t had a chance to give this a whirl yet, but it sounds pretty promising.
Fever by Shaun Inman
Shaun Inman released his newest project, Fever, today, a self-hosted RSS reader that aims to be “a cure for the common feed reader.” I haven’t tried it out myself yet, but it certainly looks intriguing, and if the quality of Mint is any indicator, Fever is sure to be awesome as well.
µTorrent Mac Beta
µTorrent, my absolute favorite torrent client when I was using Windows, recently released a beta for Macs. I’ve played around with it a bit so far, and I’m really impressed, though Transmission is still an awesome choice as well.
TextMate Productivity Tips
Some great TextMate power tips from Roger Johansson.
iTunes 8 Released
iTunes 8 was released today, and there’s one feature that I’ve really been enjoying so far: Genius playlists. You pick a song in your library, hit the Genius button, and it creates an entire playlist of similar songs. I’ve been finding lots of songs I haven’t listened to in a long time, and it really does a great job of creating some solid playlists. The new visualizer is pretty ridiculous, as well.
Google Chrome Now Available
Google Chrome is now available, and I would be super excited, but, alas, it’s only for Windows for the time being. Oh well.
Blogoscoped's Rundown of Google Chrome Features
A nice explanation of some of the major features that Google Chrome will have. I’m particularly interested in the new Javascript engine, V8: Javascript issues are the #1 reason why Firefox crashes or locks up for me, so the idea of a multi-process system sounds intriguing.
Google Chrome
Google is apparently releasing their own browser today, named “Google Chrome.” While I doubt it will be as good as Firefox or Safari at first, I’m guessing Google has some tricks up their sleeves as far as integration with their existing services (Gmail, Google Talk, etc.), so I’m really excited to test Chrome out when it’s released.
