Over this past weekend I’ve made a few (okay, a lot) of purchases online. So what did I spend my hard earned cash on?

Weekend

ScreenCastsOnline Extra! Membership

ScreenCastsOnline provide great, educational, helpful video tutorials bought to you from Don McAllister.

I decided to splash on the Extra! Membership because of the added bonus content you get over a Free! Subscriber. The added incentive of a free DVD of the full show archives was the deal sealer for me.

$25.00 (6 month subscription)

Ecto

I discovered Ecto by reading Darren Rowse’s ProBlogger. Ecto allows you to quickly and efficiently post to your blog from within a client side application.

Want to add images to a post? No problem: just drag and drop them into the post and they’ll upload for you when you hit publish.

Ecto has made blogging so much more efficient for me, and I cant wait to see whats in store for the upcoming Ecto 3. (Ecto is currently not a Universal Binary, but version 3 will change that.)

$17.95 (With free 3.0 upgrade)

Pukka

I wrote about the del.icio.us bookmarking application Pukka yesterday. I purchased this to help me start managing the posting of my bookmarks to del.icio.us as doing everything manually through the site was a real annoyance.

I can say it was the best $5 I’ve ever spent on a Mac software title, hand down.

$5.00

iDictionary

I saw iDictionary on MacZOT for $3.50 and couldn’t turn it down. Now I have a dictionary built right into my iPod for all those times when I need to look smart and create an impression.

$3.50

So these are the purchases I made over the weekend, they should keep me busy for a while. Thats till I decide to splash on TextExpander which I’ve grown to love over the last 2 days…
