…and all that Code stuff

I have a couple of tools I’d like to share with you. They’re all ways of scratching an itch I had at the time, so they could be considered a little naïve or narrow-minded — heck, you could even label them useless for your own purposes, but what the hey… anyways, here they are (in no particular order):

• Object Builder — a quick way to visualize an object you're about to begin coding (with a bit of boilerplate code-generation)
• CSS Box Model Exploratorium — excellent for learning the basics of padding, margin, border and friends. (Was once dubbed farking brilliant! by a great designer.)
• ASCII — Just an ultra-fast ASCII lookup table, with a couple of font-choices...
• CSS Variables for TextMate — I’ve tried to do this a couple of times before with some server-side stuff, but it really didn’t work as a development solution — this actually does!
