The web is abuzz with amazement and wonder over Microsoft’s new site http://ie6countdown.com/, with the tagline “Moving the world off Internet Explorer 6″. It shows US IE6 usage at an astounding low of 2%. If you’ve made a web page with CSS and JavaScript in the past 10 years, you’re probably saying (or thinking) “Yes! Die IE6! Die! Die! Die…”.

It has been a great week. Two iPhone apps, which I’ve been working on, went into the app store: AccelGolf: Golf GPS Rangefinder and CU24 SURF ATM finder.
I’ve only been working on AccelGolf: Golf GPS Rangefinder for a short time, but I’m having an ever-increasing role in it’s development. It’s an awesome tool for Golfers to track and improve their game. The introductory price of $4.99 is unbeatable, but won’t be available at that price for long! Find out more at AccelGolf. Or check it out in the App Store.
The SURF ATM Finder is an app I developed for a client as my own company, Whirlidoo (LLC is in the works). If you are a member of a surcharge free SURF Alliance Credit Union in Maine, you’ll appreciate this app. SURF ATM Finder is free in the App Store.
