Treehouse iPad App
I've been championing my sponsor, Treehouse, for a long time. Their online video tutorials are high quality, their price point is excellent for those who don't want to pay the extortion that is traditional college, and they provide education for a variety of languages and essential business skills.

![Dress Up Your Select Elements with FauxSelect]()
I received an email from Ben Delaney a few weeks back about an interesting MooTools script he had written. His script was called FauxSelect and took a list of elements (UL / LI) and transformed it into a beautiful Mac-like SELECT element.

Never mind… unbelievable how blind I was xD
I almost bought an iPad just to use this app but it would be great to have an Android version.
