ColorJack: Sphere (Color Theory Visualizer)
This is one of the better online color selection tools I’ve seen. Something to keep track of when my next design project comes about.
A nice easy program for making distractions fade into the background. The only items which appear are the active window(s) of a single app, the dock (which can be set to hide) and the menu bar. Nice for helping yourself focus and for grabbing very clean screenshots.
MAKE: Blog: Homemade rock climbing wall
Oh, to dream a dream. I so want one of these in my house. Maybe, just maybe…
Travelistic | Online Travel Videos from Around the World | Videos for Travelers
Further proof video is moving to the masses. A site for family vacation videos. But, it is nice for individuals to see places that aren’t professionally filmed and edited (though some looked pretty good).
I still think media will begin to become very localized. Over time, the ability to create media will move to the masses and instead of watching shows about NY, LA and London, we’ll have more options to watch well made (and hopefully well-written) shows about more local locations.
Certainly a nice site to visit and share video through.
More and more do it yourself projects for saving energy keep popping up. This is excellent and very inexpensive. A bit more investment would allow it to look a bit better. I think I would want something additional to allow me to turn the exchange on/off to limit the exchange. That, however, would be very easy to create and you could even make it ornamental.
Angle-izer Instant Template : Sporty’s Tool Shop
Now, that is a cool tool. Looking at work on a home, this would be an excellent method for getting the exact angle measurements for various projects.
» The 1st green dream: “Green Light†by Twan Verdonck.
Not quite as cool as the Living Wall, but it is still a useful way to add greenery to your home without taking up too much floor space.
Interesting site:http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php
Looks like teachers can build rubrics on their site and save them for later use.
Also, there is a Bb and Moodle plugin (no pricing listed) here: http://www.subjectivemetrics.com/index.cfm
From Rubistary’s site:
“Rubistar has partnered with Subjective Metrics, Inc to bring you Waypoint - Web-based software for making rubrics interactive. Faculty can easily create detailed feedback for their students and create rich data on student achievement.
Both Waypoint and RubiStar integrate with Moodle and Blackboard, and easily aggregates student achievement across classes, programs, and even entire schools to generate NCLB data or customized outcomes data for accreditation purposes. Used in leading K12 districts and institutions of higher education, Waypoint makes authentic assessment possible.Learn more about enhancing your RubiStar rubric.”
Download Free Fonts and Dingbats | Urbanfonts.com
Another free font website. Nice design and seems fairly easy to navigate. Looks to be a bit more than 400 free fonts at this point. Certainly enough to help designers find something useful for their work.

It seems our gadgets are slowly adding up. Even as our homes are getting larger, we seem to have more to organize. I like the simple idea of a hook and a small bowl to hold items. I know I carry a set number of things with me on a regular basis. Wallet, sunglasses, keys and my watch (which I take off when I’m in the home since there is almost always a clock within sight) can add up to some serious table space.
Hook box would mean I could store all of those items in a central location to load in pockets or jacket before heading back out.
