Copy and Paste for the iPhone! Thank You Zac White
It’s not quite true copy and paste, but it’s a step in the right direction.

“Why Didn’t I Think of That” - Bubble Calendar
Who doesn’t pop the bubbles in a sheet of bubble wrap? You’d have to be soul-less not to!
Talk about an idea that costs nothing to manufacture, completely markets itself and already has a fan-base. Wow. Good for you creators of Bubble Calendar (whom aren’t affiliated with Bubble Wrap ….). I’m putting this thing on my christmas list and I’ll punch you in the face if you pop any of my bubbles.
And just for Dennis, they used a Helvetica font on the calendar.
Delicious 2.Awesome
Delicious “2.0″ launched last week to much surprise and eventual grandeur. But it’s no surprise to me that a site like delicious, with it’s awkward domain name (was http://del.icio.us and now just delicious.com) and even stranger 1.0 layout worked so well for so long. Proof is in the concept, yet again. A solid idea with a simple implementation marks for a great “1.0″ launch, and an even better “2.0″ launch.
And on a bit of relevant side note, yesterday while attempting to watch the 37 Signals live broadcast, Jason Fried said something I’ve been touting for a while now. The domain name is dead, and really the only domain that matters is google’s. Users no longer adhere to the go button, but to the search button. And while google works great for just about anything, delicious works even better when looking for things like inspiration, random programming know-how and even searches about politics.
edit: fail for spelling delicious wrong in the title. ooops!
On Perfection and Procrastination
Couldn’t agree more. I used to have this problem when I was younger but still struggle with it to this day.
25 browser windows is pretty much what my screen looks like at noon. To be fair, 75% of those are pages I’m coding.
Silverback - Usability Testing for Designers and Developers
Got a mac with iSight? Then you have all you need to test out your designs and run simple usability tests with Silverback. For $50, you can’t beat the amount of value this app brings. It allows even the smallest design firms to conduct rudimentary usability tests.
Great simple affordable software that every design shop should at least try out for free. Plus, who doesn’t like saving Gorillas.
