Delicious Library 2.1 is out, along with a free iPhone companion in the App Store. My thanks to Delicious Monster for sponsoring this week’s DF RSS feed to promote it. The iPhone app syncs with the Mac version and lets you view everything in your library, with the same intricate attention to UI design and experience that has made Delicious Monster famous. It’s good.

If you need further convincing, check out the adorable guided tour video they made to promote the iPhone app’s release last month. Hand-crafted stop-motion animation. If this video doesn’t make you smile, you’re not hooked up right. Imagine how much work went into the app if they put this much work into the video.

‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ Icon Set ★

Nice set of icons by Mischa McLachlan.

‘Edge’ Is Back in the U.S. and U.K. App Stores ★

Remember Edge, the iPhone game that was forced out of the U.S. and U.K. App Stores after some jackass claimed a copyright on the word “Edge”? Well, Edge is back. I bought it last night and I highly recommend it, as does my five-year-old son. Very fun.

Comments on Comments on Zeldman’s XHTML WTF ★

There are a lot of misunderstandings out there regarding HTML 5.

The Setup: John Siracusa ★

Another great entry in Daniel Bogan’s excellent The Setup.

Using Automator to Create a Simple Interface for ffmpeg2theora ★

This lets you transcode video to Ogg Theora right from the Finder, either via the contextual menu or by drag-and-drop. Personally, I don’t mind using the Terminal for this, but Automator is a great solution for wrapping command-line tools.

Email Full-Resolution Photos From the iPhone ★

Good tip: If you use copy-and-paste instead of the “Email Photo” button in the Camera app, you can email the full-resolution version of the photo.
