Set an alarm at any computer with the Online Alarm Clock
The Online Alarm Clock web site is a very simple web app that lets you set a web-based alarm from any browser. Of course we've posted about lots of different alarms, both software- and hardware-based (iPod, anyone?), but the thing that I really like about the Online Alarm Clock is that you can quickly and easily use it on any computer with a web browser. I could see something like this being espec
Early Adopter Download of the Day: Midnight Inbox (Mac OS X)
Mac OS X only: Midnight Inbox is swanky beta personal organizational software that implements the popular Getting Things Done personal productivity method. Collect, process and organize your projects, tasks and life goals David Allen-style all in one interface. This is the first public beta release, and the developers warn against entering mission-critical data into it in this state. Even so, Midn
Download of the Day: EasyEnvelopes widget
Mac OS X only: The EasyEnvelopes Dashboard widget makes preparing and printing envelopes a breeze. EasyEnvelopes integrates with your Address Book to quickly fill in addresses and print your envelope all from Dashboard. If the person isn't in your Address Book you can, of course, fill it in manually. I've always been a little dubious of the usefulness of a widget vs. a standalone application, but
Download of the Day: Hazel
Mac OS X only: Freeware (during beta) program Hazel is a "housekeeper for your files." How's that? you ask. Hazel works on whatever folders you tell it to, automatically organizing your files according to the rules you create. It features a rule interface similar to that of Apple Mail so you should feel right at home. Have Hazel move files around based on name, date, what site/email address it cam
Launch bookmarks with Quicksilver triggers
The Lifeclever blog (hey, nice name) walks Mac users through setting up Quicksilver triggers to launch bookmarks in any browser. In Safari, you can press Command+1 through Command+9 to quickly open bookmarks in the Bookmarks Bar. Very cool, but what if you don't use Safari? For months, I've been looking for a way to access bookmarks with keyboard shortcuts in Firefox. Finally, it dawned on me: Qui
How to create graphs in Adobe Illustrator
Learn how to make some jaw-dropping graphs in Adobe Illustrator with the help of Bartelme Design, an Austrian web design agency. Instructions are simple and clear-cut, and within a matter of minutes you'll have the best looking graph on the block. Sure, you could use Excel, but the last time I checked Excel wasn't able to produce graphs that looked as snazzy as the ones in this tutorial. Creating
Flickr Contacts Organiser Greasemonkey script
The Flickr Contacts Organiser lets you tag your Flickr contacts just like you would your photos, giving you more control over how you interact with your contacts. When Flickr fanatic Stephen Fernandez decided that he wanted more control over his contacts, he took matters into his own hands with this mighty impressive Greasemonkey script. You can actually tag users that aren't even in your contacts
Flickr maps photos
Flickr launches easy-peasy geotagging with photo drag and drop onto a Yahoo! Map. (Click to enlarge screenshot.) To give it a try, hit up the Flickr Organizr's new "Map" tab. Flickr will ask what the privacy permissions should be on your photos' geolocation information (I love you for that Flickr). Then find a photo location via search or map zooming and panning, and drag and drop it onto the map.
Find the perfect font at Dafont
Web site Dafont.com offers a huge, easy to browse repository of free fonts. Several readers have mentioned Dafont in the past, so I figured it was about time I checked it out, and frankly, I'm impressed. Dafont lets you type in your own text to get a preview of how it will look with any of the available fonts, which is really handy if you don't want to download and install a font just to see how i
Teach yourself speed-reading with Spreeder
Very similar to previously-posted Zap Reader, the Spreeder webapp trains you to increase your reading speed by displaying single words in succession at a high rate. Several factors affect our reading speed, like subvocalization (the little voice inside our heads that reads along with us and slows us down), backtracing (rereading parts over and over again), etc. The purpose behind apps like these i
