Screenshot Management with LittleSnapper

LittleSnapper

LittleSnapper is another tool I can’t live without. I frequently use it to capture and tag screenshots of my own work and designs from others for inspiration. Screenshot organizer, full web page capture, and non-destructive annotations make it that much superior to Mac OS X’s built-in screenshot feature.

Netflix Rentals Seen Through My Current and Former Neighborhoods

The New York Times recently took a look at Netflix user’s movie queues based on zip code. An interesting comparison is to see how this data breaks down between the places I’ve lived, Boston, New York City, and San Francisco.

Strong commonalities between the three, but clearly Bostonians are more in it for the comedy and pop films. NYC and SF: You really loved “Rachel Getting Married” that much?

iPhone UI testing with Live View Screencaster

Live View Screencaster

One of my essential tools while designing user interfaces for the iPhone is Live View Screencaster, which allows me to broadcast in real-time a 480×320 portion of my Mac screen to a wi-fi connected iPhone. This allows for immediate visual verification on the physical device. The app can also pass through touch events allowing for the possibility to create simple prototypes.

My friend Aaron turned me on to this app and it’s been at the top of my list of every day tools since.
