I tweeted the other day that I had made some CSS buttons in a sleep-deprived haze that I really dug. The only reason I even remembered they were there was a command-line-generated entry in Day One that linked to the file. This is why I log.

Anyway, I polished them up a little and threw up a GitHub page for them. If you’re a web designer and you’re looking for an…

This one was just for fun. I’m sharing it mostly as a starting point for anyone who wants to dig in and make their own theme for Simplify ($2.99 on the Mac App Store), a music controller for Spotify Desktop and iTunes.

If you want to try it out (and you use the Spotify Desktop client and Simplify), just download the file below and unzip it, then double click the Stained.jacket…

Just for giggles, and because Jeffrey Way was kind enough to provide a simple API for Prefixr, here’s a System Service that will turn your standard CSS3 properties into cross-browser, vendor-prefixed versions.

You can select an entire stylesheet and it will send back the text with the necessary changes, or just run it on a single rule to have it vendor-prefixed for you. It turns this:

If you’re a web designer with a Mac, you probably use–or at least know of–CSSEdit. In it’s heyday, it was the way to edit CSS. It’s fallen a little out of repair; it doesn’t recognize new selectors and properties (which messes up color coding and completion). Plus, it doesn’t play well with nifty frameworks like LESS or SASS, if you’re in the habit of using those. My…

A Pinboard redesign built off of the styles started by Josh Pigford, I’m providing a bare stylesheet which works with StyleBot on Chrome and User CSS on Safari. The Chrome version can be installed straight from Stylebot​.me. Stylebot​.me also has a userscript version which could be used with Greasemonkey, but my styles don’t seem to translate well to Firefox, yet. I’ll work on…

I recently wrote a tiny web app called PromptDown to let me drop in some Markdown (or plain text) and use it as a teleprompter for screencast voiceovers. I wasn’t going to put any more time into it, as it did what I needed. Then it started to bug me that it didn’t work on my iPad, which could actually be really handy. So my lunch break—fine, and an extra half an hour—went to…

I keep trying out the social stream web app, HootSuite (I made a new icon for the Fluid app a while back), both in Safari 5 and in a Fluid browser. I like it, and given that I end up in it pretty often, I thought I’d polish up some edges that were bugging me. These changes may or may not be your cup of tea.
