When I downloaded Safari 5 today, I noticed that apple finally added support for extensions into the browser! Safari has always been a nice app to use on mac, and I love the inspector, but lack of safari extensions for things such as grid tools, color selectors, etc have made me reluctant to switch.

Free Download: RFP Application

We introduce to you, the first of many applications that you can apply to your business or freelancing website. This one is a very simple RFP or Creative Brief application which can easily be modified to do much more. What we like about it is the simplicity and usability behind the application. Unfortunately this one doesn’t suit our needs any more, due to our new brand and client dashboard, but our upgrade means hand-me-downs for you! Woot Woot.

WordPress Multiple Twitter Accounts Widget

There are tons of wordpress twitter plugins, but none of them solved a problem I was facing. I wanted to display a feed from multiple accounts, but rather than showing them in order (some users tweet more than others) I instead wanted to show 1 from each account.
