How many times have you redrawn a dropdown box or browser chrome in Fireworks or Photoshop? I’m too stubborn / lazy / unorganized to search for those bits in old projects (if i was smart, which i am not, i would create my own web interface palette). This may be old news to blog-saavy webizens but behold DesignersToolbox.com: Print and online templates, PSDs, interface elements etc. Free PSDs for all your graphically inclined needs.

I was transfixed by these animations. I found it interesting all the different ways the characters transition, and how differently each report is shown. This seems to come from a time when there was time to fill on the air vs. now where everything is templated and reusable.
Someone took these reports, chopped them up, and created a site that shows the report tied to the detroit weather: http://detroitkidshow.com/weather_man.htm

- Reversi ($2) / Morocco / Othello
- BoxOffice (best app yet)
- eBay
- Yelp
- Facebook (i actually use facebook now because of this app)
- BeatMaker
- Aki Mahjong / Moonlight Mahjong Lite
- Aurora Feint

So what do you actually use?

Yes I’m lame enough to test out the wordpress client on here. It’s actually pretty nice but I don’t know how useful it would be without cut and paste.

this damn emotionless flickr face is now so creepy for me to see. I’ll check my flickr and have some recent activity of all these faceless flickr people adding my pictures as favorites. But there seems to be a trend of the same pictures getting added as favorites, like a pic of my friend irene smoking a cigarette.
I guess there must be some people out there with a korean girl smoking cigarettes fetish wanking it to my photos, creepy…

i never really understood this whole phenom… but just last week, my brother took my 9 yr.-old nephew to a cubs game… later, i asked him who won and how he liked the game.
all he could talk about was how the other team was “owned”. he didn’t just say it once, he used it over and over again repeatedly for about a half hour while describing the game. THEN went on to use it to describe some of the fight scenes in the transformer movie.
wtf??? this kid never leaves the house except to go to school or to go buy/rent video games. where the heck is he picking that up.
next time he uses it i’m gonna ask him how to spell it, what it means and where it came from.
am i getting old?

Although certainly not with the same volume, i think we are starting to see homebrew games equal, and sometimes, surpass, commercially developed games on the DS. Here comes a Portal homage on the DS: Still Alive DS. For a version 1.0 game this is one fairly polished gem. The best part: user-created maps option. Yes! One of the failings of Portal was that it was too short (maybe that was a good thing) or that it didn’t offer the ability to download additional maps. Still Alive already has a few user-contributed maps on their website and i can only guess there will be tons more coming once people have played through all the maps in the standard game (it has only been out for two days). The author also offers a map editor written in JAVA so you can nerd-out with your map-making on a PC. Some of the controls are a little weird but overall this is a very fun pick up and play game … and it’s free!
