Storybird: Website lets your kids create and share fun picture book storiesA free fun tool for families that let's kids (or adults) create picture books using a simple interface and clipart graphics. You can't print yet - but given how professionally done the site is i'd bet dollars to donuts that there will soon be an option to have a nice color book of your story professionally printed and sent to you for a fee. Seems reasonable. Storybird is a service that uses collaborative storytelling to connect kids and families. Two (or more) people create a Storybird in a round robin fashion by writing their own text and inserting pictures. They then have the option of sharing their Storybird privately or publicly on the network. The final product can be printed (soon), watched on screen, played with like a toy, or shared through a worldwide library. http://storybird.com/ |

What is your preferred font?There are about ten basic fonts that people tend to use with browsers, which makes me curious: What is your font preference for (1) screen/browser and (2) print?
............................................................... For readability, I like Neue Frutiger, since it looks great on both Linux and Windows machines. |

Coding Snack: Icon Menu LauncherClicking the desktop icon (.exe) to open menu from it's place. just a simple application for cluttered desktop.
by making the .ahk available, users can change the desired icon to use and the application list. it doesn't have to be a tray application or a service whose always on. Its a stand-alone apps. This is my request. |

Selector 1.2Selector 1.0 is ready for general use I think. The idea is a hotkey app in the Tray that holds a few of your favorite programs that can take the command line param from selected text or the clipboard. One example would be a browser. Instead of relying on a plugin to open the current page in another browser hit the address bar to select text and hit the Selector hotkey(Shift-NumPadDiv by default.) Choose your browser and hit the Go button. Currently adding programs to the list requires using a FileOpen dialog to browse to the .exe file. A short name is automatically generated but can be edited. At the moment there's no provision for sorting the list or rearranging the order of apps. A later version should have a few more bells and whistles. The program uses Glass if enabled on the system. It requires Scripting.Dictionary object on the PC. If you don't have Scripting.Dictionary I believe installing the .NET 2.0 or later run-time will put it on but check the MS web site for the correct download. If you have .NET 2.0 or later you should have it already. Edit: link: http://www.favessoft.com/hotkeys.html updated to v. 1.01 Double clicking an item in ListBox presses the Go Button to launch the item. Items added to the ListBox are sorted(case insensitive sorting.) |
