As you may know from my blog, I love information organizers. I think that sounds a bit sad looking back at that sentence, but nevertheless I do, and I cam across a cool little application today called Tobu. I think this is a great application for a number of reasons, but while getting into details [...]
Photoshop “skin” for Gimp
Image editing applications have been coming and going on my desktop for some time now. I used to be a Photoshop user, but I decided to give free software a chance and after going through Paint.net and Gimp, I finally decided Gimp was for me.

An easy way to learn web design
I spent a little time today on a WordPress theme for one of my clients. He asked me to copy his webpage design and turn it into a WordPress blog. This took me about a fifth of the time it takes to design a blog on my own, and the coding was much smoother and [...]

Easy and free isometric art designer
I was always intrigued by isometric art for some reason. perhaps the simplicity of it all is the thing that gets to me, I don’t know. To create it though, you either need some appropriate apps, or some wicked Photoshop skills and I have neither. While poking around at Lifehacker today I found a post [...]

Google Earth is unbeatable when finding stuff, looking at the world, finding your route and so on, but it doesn’t really give you information on what the places you see are like. Schmap is service I found which tries to bring together Google Maps, and actual information on places to get you valuable travel guide [...]
