T-shirts for Programmers
Where Keith tries to help a helper
December is here and snow is on the ground, so if you're in the habit of giving gifts at this time of year, then this online shop may interest you. Andy Brice of Perfect Table Plan fame has put together an online store selling t-shirts for programmers and is donating all of the proceeds to, jaipurfoot.org and www.sightsavers.org. Andy is one of the luminaries of the indy software scene. In fact, he's so luminous that he straddles the platform divide and is a member of the indy Mac and windows communities. I count Andy as a mentor of mine in that i read his blog and he has been generous with his time, once giving me some very salient advice on how to position my product(s) in the marketplace.
Not sure what to get your programmer friends and loved ones? Please consider this opportunity to cloth them in geekiness and do something good in concert.

Highbrow 1.0 Public Beta
Where Keith puts out his sophomore product
After a three week sprint, Highbrow 1.0 beta is away! Since the app was mostly finished a few weeks ago, i figured that this release would have come sooner. I had forgotten how much work it is to launch a new product! With a groovy new icon, a very decent help file, a nice custom Sparkle based auto-update, a pretty (though currently troublesome) disk image, a web page, a homepage redesign, a screen movie, some wordsmithing, a press release, and i'm sure a few other things that i've forgotten and we've made it to the beta release. If you ever use more than one web browser on your Mac, either at the same time, or in serial, you definitely owe it to yourself to try Highbrow. For me, all of the annoyances of using that second (and third) browser have completely disappeared now that Highbrow automatically changes my system wide default browser on the fly as i move from one browser to the next.
Do you feel some web browser frustration? Get your Mac web browser zen with Highbrow. Look for the v1.0 release on 15 December 2008.
