Irradiated Software – TwoUp. handy mac app that will make a window fill 50% of the screen aligned to left/right or top/bottom. I usually have several google docs open at once so i’m enjoying this.
Sonoma Wire Works – Fourtrack. iphone app that lets you do four-track recording. looks really nice.
Minority Report Physical Interface in Real Life – Oblong g-speak | FlowingData. some decent demo footage. guy was a tech consultant to the actual movie.
Random Etc. – Data Visualization Blogs You Might Not Know About. who doesn’t love data visualization blogs.
hoverIntent jQuery Plug-in. very handy for UI that is too responsive.
Google Visualization API. now this is cool. from javascript, you can source a google spreadsheet and create data visualizations (check out the options in the gallery like heat maps, interactive graphs, gantt charts, etc). They even have the google finance interactive time-series gadget.
Mac OSX Leopard: Translucent Menubar Fix. Upgraded to Leopard today. The translucent menubar is probably one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen Apple do.
Coda-Slider. jquery plugin to create slidable panels (kinda like in the itunes music store).
Datejs – A JavaScript Date Library. the textbox for time range could be really useful if you need a graphing app that needs to do both 4-hour spans and 4-month spans.
Edward Tufte on the iPhone interface. tufte had to take this video off his site for a couple days cause it got hit too much.
The Whale Hunt / by Jonathan Harris / Interface. some cool ui work related to telling stories through large sets of photos.
CommandShift3 – It’s like Hot or Not for web design. the tagline says it all.
Developer’s Guide – Google Chart API. google API for making charts. generates images. too bad they didn’t bundle some of that cool google finance flash stuff. via paul.
Low-Cost Multi-touch Whiteboard using the Wii Remote. very cool low-budget hack.
jQuery BlockUI Plugin. let’s you do modal dialogs and block-off page elements (like grey out a form once it’s submitted). not as simple as thickbox but uses jQuery.ajax so you have access to success/error/etc callbacks.
Schematic. now that is a fancy UI navigation system.
The Positive Side of Negative Margins. great article on css layout with negative margins.
