PixelPad — iPad sketchbook

If you design software, you may want this iPad sketch tablet from PixelPads:

At the heart of PixelPads is the 10-pixel grid which allows you to sketch detailed, pixel-perfect interfaces; yet it’s also light and unobtrusive enough that free-spirit designers and developers can freely color outside the lines for more organic interfaces.

On the back of each sheet you’ll find the 4-screen storyboard format, perfect for designing and developing horizontal and vertical sequences.

Worth looking into.

I have no use for these. And yet, I want one.

Less Talk More Rock

Superbrothers:

Go right from the inspiration — the vision — to actually making it. Don’t think it through. Don’t talk about it. Don’t plan it. Dive in and start making it happen. If you do that — if you can start rocking — you’ll get some momentum, and when you have some momentum then the project has a chance, because now you’re into it. It’s going somewhere, it’s tangible. Sure, you’ll still run up against problems to solve and decisions to make, but you’ll approach these in the moment and solve them in the moment. You’ll solve them so you can keep moving.

Truth.

Introducing: The PaperNet « optional.is/required

Brian Suda:

His concept of the PaperNet struck such a cord with me, I have attempted many of my own PaperNet browser creations – some bearing more fruit than others. I have even given a few presentations about my adaptation of Aaron’s original idea. Everyone seems to look at it and say “Yes, that is exactly what we need” – then strangely no one ever calls me back.

I empathize.

A superpower I keep forgetting I have

The other day, I asked a colleague for the street address of a company we work with.

(As I might have to visit next week and have the spatial coordination of a drunk goldfish in a spinning bowl, I will need the address in order to program my GPS.)

While he rummaged through his address book, I got bored. I pulled out my iPhone, and thought to search for the company name in the maps app. Moments later, I was saving the map location as a contact, complete with phone number and contact email.

My colleague never found the address. So I emailed him the contact. And sheepishly apologized for wasting his time.

Did Batman ever forget he was wearing a utility belt?

Matt Jones has a new MacBook Pro, to replace his old one.

Which had, among other things, one of my sketch QR Code stickers on it.

Ah, well. In with the new.
