Some of the projects I’ve developed are available here for download.
Web Development
WordPress
Gregarious
This WordPress plugin’s main function is social bookmarking, and it handles submission to a variety of social sites. On top of that, it is able to detect ‘Diggs’ and display a dynamic Digg button allowing users to see the number of Diggs on your posts, and easily Digg them. Various modules allow adding FeedBurner FeedFlare to your posts, and a Reddit button module is included as well. Downloaded over 11,000 times, and clearly an essential traffic building tool.
FancyForm
The highly accessible and extremely elegant solution to styling HTML form elements.
Mac Development
Applications
Trimmit
Eliminate bloatware. Clean out Mac OS X application bundles. Simple drag and drop operation, powerful UNIX backend. An essential tool for all developers, or OS X users wanting to free up disk space.
DeskSaver
Your screensaver becomes your desktop background. Pause it. Resume it. Restart it. Play with it.

Plugins / Bundles
Quicksilver Fumo Interface
An incredible new Quicksilver interface, designed by Pavel. Not only does it look incredible, it’s able to smoke like Disco. (Non-smoking version available).
Quicksilver Xfile Plugin
Adds Xfile as a File System Browser in Quicksilver, and allows the “open” and “reveal” actions to run in Xfile rather than Finder.
TextMate Virtuoso Theme
A theme for the preview and subversion windows in TextMate. The theme looks similar in appearance to this site, covering styles for all major and obscure HTML tags as well as the TextMate-specific classes. This is probably the first such theme for TextMate.

Cocoa
Window Transition Effects
Core Graphics and Core Image transition effects like the cube, flash, ripple, fade, swipe and a whole heap more are just one method away with this animating tab view. Used in Assignment Planner by Logan Rockmore. Scott Stevenson was so impressed with the slickness of the demo […] I actually chuckled out loud.
Disco Smoke Effects
A brief explanation / tutorial on how to use Disco’s smoke effects in any third party Cocoa application. Includes a class-dumped Smoke.h header file, as well as a sample Xcode project that demonstrates the smoke. Some tips also on modifying the framework itself and how to change settings such as colour, FPS, temperature and more.
Core Graphics eBook
A tutorial into the use of undocumented Core Graphics functions for window transitions effects and animations in Cocoa and Xcode. This eBook expands on concepts learnt in the Xcode animations and transitions tutorial.
Core Graphics Framework
Undocumented goodness at its very best. A vital resource for any developer wanting to include effects like flip, cube, warp, slide, and more. The framework also includes assorted methods that allow you to shrink, pulse, shear, and rotate NSWindows, at the same time allowing you to interact with the window during the animation or effect. Various other surprises (such as the genie effect) are also included with a sample application to get you started writing eye-candy-laden code. Not for the faint-hearted.
I do appreciate feedback and suggestions.
