Lots of interesting stuff - colfm, trivium.

Lots of goodies here.

"A year ago Faber & Faber commissioned me to help with the design of a software system to generate complete & print ready book covers for their new imprint. The challenge proved to be more of a creative than a technical one, as the task given was to build a “design machine” which would be flexible enough to generate a very large (theoretically infinite) number of unique designs, one for each single book ever printed in this range, within the agreed boundaries set by the art direction(s) of Faber design team."

"CODeDOC takes a reverse look at 'software art' projects by focusing on and comparing the 'back end' of the code that drives the artwork's 'front end'--the result of the code, be it visuals or a more abstract communication process."

Worth noting - I did this for a long while, because it was recommended all over the shop, but it's just one of those Mac superstitions.

Free, Open-Source software for OS X

Vote for your favourite Mac hard- and software. I'm boycotting it as Quicksilver isn't in the software section ;-)

"Web-based job tracking, invoicing, reporting & project management software for the part-time independent contractor."

"ShoZu makes saving images from your camera-phone to your Flickr album simple. Download the free ShoZu application to try it out."

Nice integration with .Mac.

"Google already offers Gmail users plenty of storage for their e-mail archives. If it extended that storage to other kinds of documents that were generated in conformance with the OpenDocument standard..."

"Ning is a free online service (or, as we like to call it, a Playground) for building and using social applications. Social apps are web applications that enable anyone to match, transact, and communicate with other people."

An open source NetNewsWire-like RSS reader. After five minutes playing with it, it basically _is_ NNW, with a few nice improvements (eg. a date field when making Smart groups). If NNW exported subscriptions in groups, I'd switch!

"An Innovative CSS Tool for Analysis, Debugging, and Fine-tuning"

Geominder allows you to create location-based reminders that stay attached to physical locations.

"Improved authentication (logins no longer fails silently, and using Cocoalicious with multiple accounts should be a little easier)." - I was having Keychain trouble, so this is the big fix for me. Great wee app.

"Sim Daltonism is a color blindness simulator for Mac OS X. It filters in real-time the area around the mouse pointer and displays the result — as seen by a color blind person — in a floating palette."

"SoundOfAnImage converts images into music. Sometimes the "music" even sounds like music, especially if you play images with a lot of structure and/or symmetry to them"
