ExpressionEngine Bundle

I’m a big fan of EllisLab and their products. I think ExpressionEngine and CodeIgniter are two of the best products a PHP developer can use.

I probably spend an average of 6 to 7 hours a business day looking at a computer screen. The majority of that time can be divided into three categories: text editor, terminal, & browser.

This spans from homes & cars to guitars and computers. There is a nice collection of alternative icons for TextMate on their Wiki. [...]
