Bits & pieces

What's that traffic light on the new iTunes window? And, it's nice with that new icon but couldn't they have rethought the entire thing? iTunes feels like an unfitting name for something that does so many different things (you don't go to the "Music Store" to buy a book, do you?)

Pictos, the Icon Font

The normal practice among web developers for icons have always been to embed them in images and use CSS to display. We do this so much, we hardly think about it at all any more. Pictos, however, is a clever way of taking a step away from this. Instead of using images, you embed the Pictos font and use that instead.

Simplenote gets an update

My favorite note taking app, Simplenote, has just been updated — or perhaps upgraded is a better word. Along with a new more visually appealing graphical reform, we're seeing tons of new features and updates to the service itself.

Camera Phone Lenses

Fisheye, macro and wide angle lenses available for use with camera phones.

Your Lucky Day

High quality short about the chaos that a little lottery ticket can set about.

Lifestream

January 17th, 2009

Storytlr is an online service which mashes all of your Web 2.0-connected life together into one Lifestream. It’s an interesting, and for some people much needed, service due to the exploding number of different services out there, with new ones popping up each day.

The question, though, remains: Do we really want to share everything we do online with the world?

The Boomerang desk

The Boomerang Desk, by Maurice Calka.
I saw this one at the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg a couple of days ago and I was so intrigued by it. The smooth curves are so pleasing to the eye and mind. Seems like a perfect desk to work at.

I want it!
