This was a house warming present from Ms Jinx. I love it!

This year I promise to keep my blog up to date & to start new projects to keep my passion for HTML, CSS & Jquery going.

With the help of Mac OS X The Missing Manual, ive been exploring my iMac. I found a few cool utilities that i want to share with you.

DigitalColor Meter
Instead of having to download colorzilla, you got the perfect little utility already on your iMac. DigitalColor Meter captures the exact colour value on your screen. It can even display the colour value in Hex form, perfect for matching colours in web design.

Whois
Within network utility, whois gathers information about the owner of any domain.

Disk Utility
Can create electronics versions of disks or folders that can be exchange electronically with other people.

Heres a useful article from Netnuts, 30 HTML Best Practices for Beginners. Wish i had something like this when i was designing my first website, luckily i work with a great team of web designers

Web applications like Facebook or Twitter used to be primarily browser-based, but more and more products such as Tweetdeck are bringing that functionality off-browser. Firefox though, now can do a lot more.

Prism is a cool new Firefox add-on, where you can convert websites into a application. It makes sites like gmail & flickr more accessible from your dock, making social media even easier to do. So very cool!

Twitter is the new facebook, but why not get the most out of both and combine all of ur social networks. I use ping.fm to reguarly update all my social networks, except for facebook, which i intergrated with twitter.

Meet Flitterin, the subject of our latest social media cartoon!
