open source iTunes remote control
TuneConnect is an open source iTunes remote controller. By simply installing a lightweight server application on the computer you wish to control, and installing a client application on the computers you want to control from, you can quickly and easily gain control of almost every facet of iTunes' most commonly used features. TuneConnect works on Mac OS X 10.4 and higher (optimized for Leopard), with support for Windows and iPhone/iPod Touch coming soon. For more information, visit the TuneConnect website.
color snatcher
Colors is a simple application for graphic designers, web designers, and anyone else who needs to be able to pull colors from what you can see on the screen. Colors takes Apple's basic color chooser (complete with "magnifying glass" to pull colors from other applications), and combines it with an easy way to copy common formats of color values (eg., #rrggbb, rgba(r, g, b, a), etc.) to the clipboard. Colors is a free download for anyone who would like to use it. Requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

Cocoa Source Code
The vast majority of my software development is done in Objective-C with Cocoa. Naturally, over time, I've developed a few useful little pieces of software which I'm quite willing to share.
- MPConnectionAgent, a simple set of wrapper classes for asynchronous HTTP requests with "handler" methods
- LFScrobbler, a Cocoa framework for communicating with Last.fm
