Flash on the iPod with Splashtop

Jul 18, 2011

I’ve tried out some remote control aps for my iPod, but most of them only act as a touchpad. They will allow you to control your computer from anywhere within wireless range, which is cool, but recently I found something that’s even cooler. Splashtop is an app that not only allow you to control your computer, but you can also see it’s full screen on your iPod! It’s very handy for controlling your computer in places where you can’t actually see the screen and allows you to do pretty much anything that you can do on your computer in the palm of your hand.

Anime Paper

Jul 13, 2011

We’re going to look at something today that is near and dear to my heart – anime :3 But, anime wallpaper in particular. You end up looking at your desktop every day, so why not make it something nice and unique? Anime wallpapers can be breathtaking, and well, full of fandom goodness. Two very nice sites dedicated to the subject are Anime Paper and Minitokyo. So check them out if that’s your thing. Also, I’ve got an old account myself on Minitokyo.

What the Font?

Jul 8, 2011

On occasion I’ve been handed work where I needed to replace some text in an image without any the original files. It can be very time consuming to try and dig up the original font – or at least find a font that’s close enough. That’s where My Fonts “What the Font?” can come in handy.

You can upload an image of some text, then designate which parts of the image are what letters and the application will give you a list of fonts that are similar to the one in the picture. A definite time saver 🙂

Simple HTML5 slideshows

Jul 5, 2011

Drop Mocks is a simple website that allows you to make slideshows by simply dragging and dropping images into your browser window. You don’t need to sign in to make a slideshow, but then anyone will be able to change your slideshow from it’s URL. You don’t need to make a new account for this though, just sign in with your Google account and you’re good to go. Not so bad if you need some visual aids for a list minute presentation.

You can check out one I put together in under a minute from this URL: http://www.dropmocks.com/mXBaV
