The Humble Indie Game Bundle ends soon!

This is a very cool deal. It's a package of five computer games, including World of Goo. You select how much you want to pay for all five. And you can dictate where the money goes: the developers, charity, etc. But there's even cooler stuff: first, the games are DRM FREE. Zero DRM. And, here's the part that I like best: THE GAMES ARE MULTIPLATFORM! There are many good games for the Mac, but I love seeing them be multiplatform.

Go forth and buy! And retweet!

The Fink Project

I think the site's header says it all:

"The Fink project wants to bring the full world of Unix Open Source software to Darwin and Mac OS X. We modify Unix software so that it compiles and runs on Mac OS X ("port" it) and make it available for download as a coherent distribution. Fink uses Debian tools like dpkg and apt-get to provide powerful binary package management. You can choose whether you want to download precompiled binary packages or build everything from source."

The thing that brought them to my attention was a recent review of open source office productivity apps that mentioned a database for Mac called Kexi that purports to be an Access-like DB for Macs.
