Although I wish they would have chosen a different name, the Hispamatic iPhone app looks very well done. It’s yet another camera app that creates analog looking photos taken from your iPhone and has a wide variety of lenses, films and flashes that you can purchase to create different effects. For $1.99 it looks pretty great.
Web design can be one of the most frustrating tasks in the world when trying to make your work viewable across all the different browsers out there. While I have yet to find an application that serves all my browser testing needs there are some useful tools. I have used a web service called Litmus in the past to test my websites accross platforms. And while it works great, at $49 per month I feel it’s a little overpriced. This is why I was happy to see Adobe had launched their new web application called BrowserLabs. The application is missing a few features that Litmus has, but the fact that it’s free completely makes up for the lack of those few features. Nice work Adobe.

My little piece of cynicism for the day.
I love being a geek. I get worked up over the nerdiest little things. However, now and then I come across a tool that integrated so well into my workflow and daily life that I eventually find that I couldn’t work without it. One of those tools that I recently found is Sharpcast’s storage and sync tool called Sugarsync. This tool does exactly what I have wanted for a long time and what others (like MoblileMe and Box.net) have failed at providing me… an effortless way of backing up, syncing, sending and sharing my files over multiple computers and with other people. The software is simple and elegant, and the iPhone app has saved my ass on several occasions now when I have forgotten to send someone a file. With this service I truly have access to all my files anytime, anywhere.
Wow, that sounded like someone hacked my Wordpress account and posted a fake post. Nope, this is really me.
