We’ve finally updated our web portfolio after, we’ll just say too long. You can take a look at some of our latest and best (if we do say so ourselves) work. Just follow the link below.

If you weren't fortunate enough to participate in MacHeist's latest escapade, you can at least reap the rewards of those who were. They have an amazing bundle of software available at a RIDICULOUS price. Not only that, but for every bundle sold they'll contribute a percentage to the charity of your choice (provided you choose from their list of pre-selected charities). They've already managed to raise almost $100,000 for charity and there's still 9 days to go on the sale. So head over, check out the deal, get yourself some fantastic apps, and boost your karma points all at the same time.

OK! I just took a few moments to update my analytics using Clicky and decided to end the embarrassment of this out of date blog at the same time. If you've been using Google's Analytics, you should give Clicky a once-over. Even their free version offers more features than Google. And if you're a professional web designer, their Pro (read: Paid) version is just outstanding.

Been a while, I know! Well, I made no promises. Nevertheless, here's something you may find use for getting your own self organized. The geniuses over at 37signals put together a fantastic Web 2.0 tool a while back called Backpack. It's part of a larger suite of tools they've put together that simply boggle the mind they're so brilliant. Frankly, I don't think I can describe the depths to which these tools can be useful. So go check it out for yourself. Set up a free account and organize away.

The ever-industrious folks over at MacZOT.com have discovered another gem of a product. Imagine, if you will a version of Apple's Spotlight that actually works the way you want it to. Well, that's what HoudahSpot claims to do for you. I took it for a spin and I must say I was pretty impressed. Not only does it use the same technology that Spotlight is based on [read FAST!], but it takes it to heretofore unimaginable places in the depths of your hard drive. You will find files you had long since forgotten or simply never knew existed. Maybe Apple will include this kind of functionality in Leopard. But until then I'll keep my finger on the HoudaSpot!

NOTE: You can head over to MacZOT to get a Free copy of HoudahSpot while supplies last. HURRY!

*Fair Warning! - This one's a little on the geek side.

Mac OS X (like any unixish OS) always has a number of things going on in the background -- processes that take care of business behind the scenes. Normally, you won't even notice them, unless you use something like Activity Monitor (ProcessViewer under 10.2 or before) or the ps or top commands to look at the process list. If you do notice them, you may wonder what on earth they're all there for. This list is here to answer that question.

The fine folks over at BLOGZOT 2.0 on MacZOT.com have a fantastic offer for anyone interested in the collaborative software SubEthaEdit from CodingMonkeys. For every blog post matching specific criteria they will reduce the cost of a single license for SubEthaEdit to possibly as little as $0.00. If they reach that point MacZOT and TheCodingMonkeys will award $105,000 in Mac software, that's 3,000 copies of the program. I've had some limited experience with this software and can only say good things. And with an offer like this you can go wrong. Douglas Adams would be so proud.

It finally happened! the Mozilla group released an updated version of Firefox optimized for the Intel Macs. I would have mentioned it sooner but I've been giddy with browsery goodness!

Here's what's new in Firefox 1.5.0.2:
Universal Binary support for Mac OS X which provides native support for Macintosh with Intel Core processors. Firefox supports the enhancements to performance introduced by the new MacIntel chipsets.

We've added a couple of additions to our Tips & Links section. Check 'em out, increase your geek quotient.

While I don't use one of these myself (wireless logitech all the way baby!), I do know a number of folks who love their Mighty Mouse (Mighty Mice?), foibles and all. As such, I offer this piece from macsupport.ca detailing how you can address one of the more annoying "features" of your keyboard's best friend.

A problem that seems to plague more than a few Mighty Mouse users is that the Scroll Ball seems to stop scrolling. After nearly resigning myself to buying a replacement mouse, I discovered that the flaky Scroll Ball is actually a fairly common problem, though the suggested fixes I have found seem to range from the simple to the bizarre. I’ve tried most of these fixes and found one which works most reliably.
