Looks awesome, but $50 is a bit steep for a nail clipper.

Cymbolism | Words & Colors
“Cymbolism is a new website that attempts to quantify the association between colors and words, making it simple for designers to choose the best colors for the desired emotional effect.” It’s never clear cut, but the associations and some of their visualizations look really useful. I just wish the site encouraged browsing words and searching a bit better. Great idea though.

PhotoCalc -- The Photographer's Calculator Application for iPhone and iPod touch
“PhotoCalc offers handy calculations for professional or hobbyist photographers working in the studio or in the field. PhotoCalc provides exposure reciprocation, depth of field and hyper-focal distance calculations, and flash exposure calculations.” I’m still not quite “there yet” for this level of calculating but it looks really interesting. I’m saving this for future reference if/when I get hardcore enough to warrant it.

The Adobe rut
A few days ago when the the Blue Flavor crew was out having lunch, we started discussing Expression Web and why there’s practically no interest in it at all. None of us have spent much time with EW’s suite of products, but there are good reasons why. The lack of interest can be boiled down to three main obstacles that anyone trying to carve out some space on Adobe Mountain will have to overcome.
1. Inertia
Learning new tools as complicated as Photoshop or Illustrator takes a whole lot of time that, technically speaking, we should not bill to clients. We’re paid to come up with design solutions and to demonstrate our creative problem-solving skills — our tools are merely vehicles that allow us to express those skills in a productive, profitable way.

A nicely designed Django project repository by Bryan Veloso. I just wish it had search.
