Think the Elements

Welcome to Thinkyhead

Thinkyhead was founded in June of 2005 with a singular mission: To develop Really Good software for Mac OS X. So far we've made a few useful and interesting things. Try them out and see what you think.

Shareware

FretPet X
FretPet X is a guitar-based sequencer, composer, and reference tool with a colorful, dynamic interface. FretPet X has loads of enhancements over FretPet Classic, including better graphics, improved ease-of-use, and full support for the MIDI features of Mac OS X. We love using FretPet with GarageBand and Absynth, and we think you will too!

Open Source

TabletMagic 2
Wacom doesn't support "obsolete" serial tablet models like the PenPartner and ArtZ-II in Mac OS X. But don't throw your serial tablet away just yet! TabletMagic is an Open Source driver and preference pane that allows Wacom serial tablets to work in Mac OS X.
BSD Fortune
The venerable command-line fortune program. I didn't write it, I just tweaked it and packaged it up nice for Mac OS X. Click here for more information.

Freeware

They say the best things in life are free. I don't know if these works are the best things in life, but if they're not, well at least they're free.

MacFrotz
MacFrotz is an enhanced shell for playing Interactive Fiction games (such as the classic Infocom adventures). Long before games like Everquest and Warcraft came into being, there were programs called "text adventures" that people played with an archaic device called a "keyboard." Revisit your favorite classic games like Zork and Deadline and discover the exciting world of Interactive Fiction going on today.

Widgets

Widgets are really amazing things. I plan to make many of them.

ImagesForever
ImagesForever is a Google Image Search widget that brings randomness and excitement to the realm of search technology. It's cool, it's fun, and it's free!
Vegan Radio Podcast
Vegan Radio is a bi-weekly radio show that promotes health, compassion, and ethical living. Every two weeks I and my co-hosts Derek Goodwin and Megan Shackelford present a full hour of news, interviews, music, and occasional irreverence. Vegan Radio is produced here in Northampton, MA, for the local community station Valley Free Radio • WXOJ-LP 103.3 FM.
