Animoto is a neat little website that takes the power of Amazon’s EC2 distributed computing services and applies it to a fun and innovative little application. We’ve all seen slide shows, and one of my former employers made a fair bit of money doing these for customers.

Xcode is a great IDE. Many thanks to the great folks at Apple for turning out just a tremendously wonderful and efficient way to write code.

While you’re enjoying the tail-end of the holidays with family and friends, you might wish to take a moment and head over to Club Thievey, a charity push setup by the indomitable Mike Lee in aid of the Madagascar Lemur. My company, Skorpiostech, Inc., contributed to the cause and it makes a great year-end tax [...]

Get it while it’s hot at the Changes website.
