My Kung-Fu Is Strong

Things that interested me this week.

// September 26th, 2008 // Cool stuff, Programming, Tools, Web Development

I decided it might be cool to try and organize a summary of cool things I have seen or done online each week.

Evernote

First thing on my list is the reason I got this idea. By trying out Evernote online. It is a very cool little tool for capturing things you find on the web. I installed the desktop client, but the Web Clipper seems to be what I am in need of.

Create your own WordPress Theme

One of the sites I like is Nettuts. They have a nice little Tutorial about how to create your own WordPress theme from scratch. I really want to do this. Check it out here:

Part 1
Part 2

CSS Swiss Army Knife?

I think every developer should have a CSS Swiss Army Knife in their toolbox. This was written at Pathfinder Development here.

I like free (Magazines)

A list of 30 free PDF magazines here

What does CS4 look like?

A look at Illustrator CS4 done by VectorTuts.

And a look at Photoshop CS4 done by PSDTuts.

Money for digg

I have always been a fan of digg.com. Looks like they are doing well. I can’t wait to see what comes about for them now.

Adobe, Open Source, and Flash

Adobe moving into more open source?

Android and the future of phones

The T-mobile G1 took off this week and that has been creating a lot of buzz. There is a ton of stuff all over about that. Looks like it’s going to be best to wait and see what the next gen. Android phones will bring. I like the idea, and I have not gotten an iPhone yet so…

Apple Insider has a nice little comparison article here.

Webkit is the first to pass the Acid3 test.

See here.

Toolbox CSS

Chirs Coyier from css-tricks.com wrote this article about this thing he calls the Toolbox CSS. I think it’s a great idea.

Adobe extends Photoshop to mobile phones

Mobile and Cloud computing are major right now. This is just more proof to back that up.
