IPhone, Tool Tip Tuesday Vol #3, and Heroes

Well you guys I had to put the Treo to rest. The early part of last week I sold my shares of JCP and use some of the money to buy an Apple IPhone (my first Apple product), I bought it this past weekend and so far it’s incredible. If you’ve read some of my previous posts then you already know that I have been a big fan of the Treo 650. I thought the Treo 650 was the best thing since sliced bread. I have had several freelance projects in the past where I needed to send invoices, VNC into my server, or even use it as a modem. The Treo 650 was good to me, but it doesn’t have crap on the browsing capabilities that the IPhone can deliver. Seriously, this in combination with WIFI is ridiculous; if you’re an owner then you know what I’m talking about, if your not then at least think about getting a mobile phone that supports WIFI (F.Y.I. RIMM closed $96.82, AAPL $153.18)

Tool Tip Tuesday Vol #3 I’m so glad to be doing this again, it has been a second since the last Tool Tips Tuesday. Some of these are a given, but I thought it would be still helpful if I listed them also.

ColorZilla – There’s times when I visit a web site and wonder dang what’s the Hexadecimal (color) code. Bottom line ColorZilla helps get the job down.
MeasureIT – Basically this tool goes hand and hand with ColorZilla. There’s times when I need to get the width and height of an image, movie, or whatever, this tool gets the job down faster. I use to take screen shots then port them into a Paint Shop Pro, then use the crop tool to get the dimension. I jumped through a couple of hoops to get what I needed.
Adsense Notifier – This is pretty much self-explanatory. Honestly who’s running FireFox and Goggle Adsense and not running this plug-in? Basically I like to keep an eye on my money.
Google Notebook – I’m just starting to use this application. But between the office and home I see/think of things that I would like to remember and with Google NoteBook I’m able to take a quick note.
Stumble Upon – Seriously do we need to talk about Stumble upon, basically if you’re not on it, you need to be!
Heroes, Ok I use to hear a lot about Heroes at work around the water cooler but I never sat down to watch it, I guess I was to busy at the time. But now since I have basically seen everything on/in Netfix I decided to put the first season in my queue. I watched the first 3 shows and was totally hooked. But now the new season has started and I’m hella lost….LOL. I’m probably going to have to bust out a Heroes marathon one of these weekends
