TinyGrab Rocks
Recently, I came across TinyGrab while reading Derek Punslalan’s blog, 5THIRTYONE. Simply put – TinyGrab is a screen capture utility that instantly uploads your selection to the Web and then copies an obscure URL to your clipboard for easy sharing. There are a TON of screenshot utilities out there (as well as Snow Leopard’s improved handling of screen captures) but the simple purity of TinyGrab’s approach made it an instant favorite in my daily toolkit. I highly recommend checking it out.
Design Detail: Buttons that communicate intention
I came across this example of an iPhone application that uses some great, simple design with its interface. Run Keeper is an app that tracks your runs (or bikes, or hikes, or walks, or…). When you first start out you get this really nice big green button. When you are done you get and equally nice red button. They could have gone with a more standard blue shade on the button, but it wouldn’t say anything about what that particular piece of interface did. A nice, thoughtful touch.
