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?)

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.

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.

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

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

Notes, notes and more notes

February 3rd, 2010

Checking out Notational Velocity now that it supports Simplenote syncing – it looks good! Oh, and if you want to make a backup of your Simplenote stuff there’s the Unofficial Simplenote backup tool. Pretty handy.
