News Anchor and Lion’s Sandboxing
I’m both happy and sad in writing out this announcement. Happy for finally have completed tweaking News Anchor to adhere to Apple’s new sandboxing requirement.

Resonate Overhead Projection
You’re going to see Resonate’s first mockup of its overhead projection support.

Here I post some mockups of how Resonate will look like. These mockups have evolved a bit from the wireframes I’ve posted earlier. The color scheme is Solarized Light, which I found that more pleasing to the eye than the standard black-on-white colors.

An intelligent Twitter client?
Do you think we should make yet another twitter client? My gripes about existing Twitter clients is that they aren’t much helpful in taming down information overload, dampening the noise and removing spam. A lot of these 3rd party clients…
