BEEMO iPhone icon
Since the wooden B logo is being held up in the production facilities somewhere in China, I thought I’d be nice and dish out a fresh, new homescreen icon for your iPhone. There’s a section that explains how to do it over at Apple’s Developer Connection.
Meanwhile, here’s the wooden prototype:

Hammer icon
Ok, so I’m getting a little icon-crazy lately. I’ve been thinking about how the whole DIY “movement” has surfaced to mainstream media lately. I remember using that term for the first time back in my “skateboard-every-hour-of-the-day” period, referring to the duct tape ollie guard on the modified Airwalk hightops. Now there’s an entire network on cable dedicated to Doin’ It Yo’self. What kinda gets my goat is how selling DIY kits for various things are often just as expensive as a finished product.

Fire replacement icon
The majority of my friends in New York use AOL Instant Messenger, all my Dutch friends use MSN Messenger as well as my brother, a few amigos from Brazil are using ICQ, I have a few people on Yahoo! Messenger, then there’s wifey on the local network using Bonjour, and finally all my collegues on an internal Jabber server at work. Am I supposed to have six skinny yet tall windows littering my desktop? Get real!
Several years ago, I found this smokin’ application called Fire on Sourceforge (puns!). I’ve been a huge fan every since. The interface uses minimal desktop real estate, it’s very customizable, there’s even a tabbed chat window which keeps the window madness under control, and it’s a stable little program. There’s a ton of other features that I would encourage you to read about on their site. I will say that the one drawback is the poor performance of sending files or lack of audio and/or video chatting. But, pound for pound, if you’re typing text back and forth to you friends across multiple messaging platforms, this is the answer to all your dreams!
Since this app is free, I decided to make some sort of contribution and build a few additions to Fire. Feel free to download them both below.

Favicon Success Story
It appears that some people have approved of the beemo favicon. I’m getting a healthy supply of referring links from two different favicon galleries. Always nice to have positive feedback.

For being just a single, blue line, I like this one. The blue color ties in very nicely with the strong blue used on the site. If I use my imagination, I can actually make out each letter in “beemo” within the icon shape…I wonder if that’s intentional…
(By the way, yes, indeed that was the intention). Delta Tango Bravo’s got a favicon gallery too. Nice!
BEEMO uses Apple products and runs Textpattern on a Dreamhost server.
