Thanks to Igloo Software for sponsoring the site this week. The make gorgeous and functional project management software and they support sites you like.
You start your day, grab a coffee and update Bob. Then you swing by your manager’s office and update him. He’s like, “Oh. Em. Gee.” (He thinks that’s cool).
Now you’ve got to update his boss.
You get back three conversations later and tell Janice what happened.
I’d like to thank this week’s sponsor: O’Reilly on Inkling. O’Reilly makes some of my favorite technical books around and now Inkling is making them better. This is some impressive technology and a natural fit for digital books. You kind of have to see it to believe it.
For years, those who’ve wanted to teach themselves programming have been caught between the trusted content found in books and the ease of use with online materials.
My thanks to this week’s sponsor: Scratch by Karbon. I love this app and use it every day. I’ve written about it a couple of times, even before they were a sponsor. Scratch is the fastest way I know to create text notes in Dropbox. If you’re a markdown fiend like me, it even provides specialized keys for creating MD formatted text.
“Great ideas need to be captured immediately. Scratch for iPhone cuts through the barriers of note taking and gives you a clean slate to get your idea down fast.
I thank WeatherSnitch 2 for sponsoring this week’s Macdrifter feed. WeatherSnitch 2 is gorgeous and full featured. I’m a sucker for a good weather app, so while they are a sponsor, I spent my own money buying the app for myself and my family. Good stuff.
Finding the perfect weather app isn’t easy. Most apps rely on free information; providing the bare minimum and accuracy that leaves much to be desired.
I’d like to thank this week’s sponsor, muvichip.
Watching a movie in the post-DVD world is a mess. Blu-Ray startup times are measured in dozens of minutes. Digital is faster, but good luck finding your movie. If you find it, you’d better not get interrupted because you’ve got 24 hours to watch it!
There has to be a better way.
muvichip is the first global, solid-state, movie distribution media that can be used anywhere and on any device that has a USB port, and, when paired up with the muvifi or muvifi+ streaming device, you can watch a movie on ANY device.

I’d like to thank Snowman’s Checkmark for sponsoring Macdrifter this week. It’s a very cool task management app that’s smart about giving you what you need where you need it. It’s elegant and clever and I’m proud to have them as a sponsor.
Checkmark is the fastest way to create location- or time-based reminders for iPhone.
In just a few seconds you can create new reminders — it only takes 3 taps!
I’d like to thank Squarespace for sponsoring the site this week. Even with all of the tweaking I do to my site, I still own and use a Squarespace site. It’s easy to setup and I use it for prototyping and sharing content with the family. There’s no better way to make something beautiful from scratch on the web.
Design a visually rich website with magazine-quality layouts that scales to any screen size, –all without touching a line of code.
I want to thank Global Delight for Sponsoring the site this week. They make Boom for the Mac and I can honestly say it is very good. I owned it and used it before they were a sponsor. I already have a very nice speaker system connected to my Mac and Boom makes it better. I’d gladly recommend the application even if they were not a sponsor.
“Boom is a volume booster app for your Mac.
I want to thank Igloo Software for sponsoring the Macdrifter feed this week. Igloo provides some impressive software for small and large companies to organize and communicate between individuals and teams. Igloo is no cheesy SharePoint plugin, it's some gorgeous looking stuff. To sweeten the deal they are offering a chance to win Field Notes National Crop Edition.
