My sincere thanks to Shiny Things and Little App Factory for sponsoring Macdrifter this week. That make awesome stuff and I’m proud to have them supporting my work. I’ve purchased a bunch of their apps over the years and they are well made and designed.
Now they are having a short lived sale. You probably don’t want to miss this. Really.
Shiny Things and Little App Factory are holding a sale on our iOS education and Mac media apps with deals of up to 50%.
QuoteRobot is a good looking tool for doing the boring stuff — responding to RFP’s. Get the tedious stuff out of the way so you can actually get to the fun stuff like building amazing things. I’m happy nice things like QuoteRobot exist. I’m also happy they like to support independent blogs like Macdrifter. They get it.
QuoteRobot makes it easy to write winning proposals.
Let’s face it, proposal writing generally sucks.
You know what’s cool? People that sponsor stuff that you like. I’m thankful for all of the awesome people that keep the lights on around the web. This week, I’m thankful for Igloo. They care about what they are doing and what I am doing. That’s cool.
Let’s face it, we’re heading into the worst time of year for getting work done. Everyone is getting ready for spending time with their family.
I want to say “thanks” to this week’s sponsor, Colugo. I don’t like living publicly. Sharing is great, but somethings are made more precious by their scarcity and purposeful sharing. I like to share memories with my close friends and family, not the world. Services like Colugo make both ideals a convenient reality.
Colugo is the easiest way to share photos privately with your friends and family.
Colugo is a simple solution to a simple organization and communication problem.
I’d like to thank this week’s feed sponsor, Sendy. I really appreciate their support and they make a cool product. I really like that the service can be hosted on your own server but messages are delivered by Amazon SES. That’s cool.
Sendy is a self hosted email newsletter application that delivers your emails via Amazon Simple Email Service (SES).
Compared to hosted newsletter services, Sendy is an app you can install on your own server.
My thanks to dozeo for sponsoring this week’s Macdrifter feed.

I’d like to thank Igloo Software for sponsoring this week’s feed. Take a look at their latest version and thank them for sponsoring stuff you like.
Introducing Q, the latest update to Igloo’s cloud intranet platform.

I’d like to thank this week’s sponsor, Mutual Mobile, for supporting the feed. They’re hiring:
Why work for Mutual Mobile? We’ve grown from a core 5 people in 2009 to just over 200 at the turn of 2012, and we’re poised to double that figure over the next year. Our client list includes companies like Google, Cisco, and Audi, and your skills help build what we offer. It’s an exciting time to be in Austin’s tech scene, and we work to keep things interesting.
I really want to thank Sifter for sponsoring this week’s feed. Dealing with bugs can be difficult. There’s no reason tracking them needs to be.
Sifter is a simple project management tool for small teams. It frees you up to focus on shipping better software instead of checking in on team members.
It’s perfect for serving as your team’s central location for capturing and managing all of a project’s issues, questions, bugs and new features.
