The Mark

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Shawn Wilkins 1 comment

Rarely do we ever find ourselves awestruck by cinematography, silent films, or something that is able to convey a story in such an elegant and gritty manner. To achieve grittiness, people feel like they must be as vulgar and loud as possible. For elegance, they try to be as graceful, quiet, and respectful while moving in a way that is too foreign for watchers to relate to. It’s rare to expect things to be beautifully told without a few explosions in Hollywood, or to feel the emotions felt through indie films, but Gus Bendinelli aims to change all of that with his first film: The Mark.

iPhones & iPods have had the same music player the past five years, minus some very minor alterations. The fact is, the stock iPod player is very capable & fulfills most people’s music needs. Besides us nerds of course.

TotalFinder – The Finder Done Right

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Nate Boateng 10 comments

The Finder in OS X is a touchy subject with Mac users. Let’s face it, most times it flat out sucks. The main problem is that it doesn’t have the Apple polish Mac users have come to love. There are a bunch of Finder alternatives out there, but my main problem with a lot of them is that they run as a separate app instead of integrating with the Finder itself. Most Mac nerds know about TotalFinder from BinaryAge, but “normal” users may not know what it’s all about. I decided to take a long overdue look at TotalFinder for the sake of showcasing a great app that is striving for what the Finder should be. Hit the break to see some of the major features.

Sketch 2 – A Breath Of Fresh Air + Giveaway!

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Jake Moore 3 comments

Let’s get a few things straight, here. I’m a designer and I hate Photoshop. Unfortunately, there’s no better alternative out there. A lot of people have been shouting “USE FIREWORKS” in my face, but I brush’em off because I hate that bundle of wet noodles. A few days ago I was given early access to Sketch 2 from Bohemian Coding. Here’s a little spoiler: It’s amazing. Hit the break for the rest of my review, oh and get a drool cup. You’ll need it.

Backboard – The Beautiful Dribbble Client

Backboard - Shot list

In case you’re not familiar with Dribbble, it’s a wildly popular community in which designers can post 400px by 300px shots of their latest work. It gained popularity in its early days by being incredibly private and showcasing work from the best artists in the community. Fast-forward to now and the userbase has exploded and the traffic has skyrocketed. Exploring Dribbble on your iPhone is great, but not beautiful. That’s where Backboard from Richard Bennett comes in.
