Here’s a valuable little resource I bumped into. Honestly you may be thinking oh wow another texture site?! YES! The reason why grungetextures.com deserves a post is because there is no BS here. This site deserves a plug! No signing up, no paying for large resolution versions, no limits on downloads, no restrictions! Not only that but the textures are great! Check it out if you need some help in your next 3d, graphic, or even motion project!
Click to see view at its full, large Resolution! YES!
Free courtesy of smashing magazine, a full GUI of android has come out free for download. Check it out! Its 1.5 but still extremely useful (I already have the PSD open while I’m writing this lol)!

The motorola droid in all its glory!
Droid is here, and along with it comes new possibilities, experiences, and most importantly new apps!!! After getting the motorola droid and playing around with it for a month now here are my favorite apps! These are essential!
Well the apps where based on the following criteria:
You knew this one was coming. I use this program every single day… multiple times a day. It is extremely light, fast, and free!!!
This is where things get awesome with the droid. I purchased a top of the line GPS 2 years ago for $350, it is now obsolete with the droid. Not only that but the GPS app on the droid has 10x the features!!
Shop savvy in my opinion is half flare, and half functionality! What does it do? You can take a picture of a barcode and it will display the lowest prices in the area and online!! so cool!!!
Google goggles takes the shop savvy concept a little further. You can take a pic of anything and goggles will scan it, and then display listings, options, or ratings. It is new so I have found it works great with logos but not everything. It does plenty more though check it out here!
When you first get droid you will be torn between using the browser, or using apps to access certain websites. This is one of those times, and the app wins in this case. Twidroid is a light, no bs twitter app that is amazing – go get it!
I put “lite” up because these do cost money, however the lite versions are free. I have to say that the snes emulator is a little better then the genesis emulator but still they are both great! They even allow you to search for roms within the program! wow!
Well if you are a last.fm fan, or pandora fan grab one of these. Both are amazing – However if you don’t have a last.fm account grab the pandora app as the last.fm app relies heavily on your music taste from your pre-existing account.
This is an amazing app. Its easy to use, very robust, and free! Its exactly what you think it is lol.
For the diehard sports fan there is sportstap. Following your favorite team was never so easy!
you may think the droid can do anything.. but it really can’t. Try changing your ringtone, notification noises, etc and it will become immediately apparent. However, this program basically allows you to regain full control over your phones “noises” lol.

Lots of people still use IE6, despite the fact that it came out in 2001!! That’s a whopping 9 years! Bottomline, ie6 users are not going anywhere, you must accommodate them!
Typical Internet explorer 6 user
Wow, where to begin. O I know lol, I hate Internet explorer 6. I found that a lot of my time developing websites was wasted testing the internet explorer series 7 and below to make sure there are no problems (along with a thousand conditionals for iftltIE) through various inefficient methods. Well finally there is a decent solution… enter IETester!

It allows you to test a website in all major versions of IE. Not only that but it has diagnostic tools within it to assist you with debugging and analysis. Simple problem, simple and elegant solution. Thanks DebugBar
