Interesting bits
Flipbook!
An awesome flash application that lets you build a simple flipbook like animation one frame at a time. Part of the charm is the simplicity of it all, you can draw in black and white, there are no colors or erasing short of erasing the whole frame. Here’s a quick doodle of a simple castle

New cell phone imminent
There’s nothing like a co-worker making fun of your four and a half year old cell phone to emphasize that it might be time to upgrade. Truth it, I really don’t use my cell phone for much and was pretty happy with it but tonight it seems that the display on finally died. Since I
