Things We Love : Panoramas
“The featured panoramas at panoramas.dk are interactive 360 degree panoramas. The links to them open in a fullscreen window. To navigate the panorama click in the window and drag in any direction.”
Come Relax On Our Balcony!
We needed a serene little place to relocate our minds. But you won’t catch us out here often - we promise.
Classified!
Classipress is a very (shall we say it) classy looking classifieds theme! It can likely be used for other ideas though. This is one of the best designed WordPress themes to date!
iPhone Copy and Paste
First Look - MagicPad from Apple iPhone Apps on Vimeo.
The iPhone has always been missing copy and paste, so this is a great find.
The Money Band
“Perfect for cyclists, climbers, travelers, runners, or anyone who wants to keep things minimal or keep their wallet in the front pocket.
Money-band is the original rubber band wallet replacement. More versatile and slimmer than a money clip. Many times slimmer and more ergonomically correct than your George Costanza hip-displacing leather variety.
Money-band is not a typical rubber band. It’s custom manufactured to our exact size and specifications and not anything you can find at your Office Supply stores. Not only is it approximately 1/2 inch shorter in length than standard office rubber bands for security, it’s the right width and thickness for easy handling.
If you’re tired of rolling with a junk-filled hunk of leather, then Money-band is the way to simplify and keep a tight hold on your cash and cards.”
PrettyBitter.com
Our blog posts are usually a happy bunch. What about those other times that aren’t so happy? PrettyBitter.com is bittersweet. We especially like their sticky notes which give that extra push of motivation:

Send Me RSS!
In an effort to continue making the use of RSS easier and easier, today we bring you SendMeRSS.com. It’s a simple email notification site to get RSS updates. Just another way to use RSS in a smart way. Hope you enjoy!

CherryPal
To save money, where should you start first? How about your computer?
“The CherryPal desktop is a tiny PC designed with the user in mind. It does all the things you do every day: surf the web, keep in touch with your friends, listen to iTunes, watch videos, word processing, presentations and spreadsheets, all without the hassle of a traditional PC. It only uses 2 watts of power, lasts 10 years and has 80 percent fewer parts. There’s no software or upgrades to install, no risk of viruses, and no operating system to deal with and free 24/7 support – all for just $249. We’ve created the most affordable, easiest-to-use and greenest desktop computer available.”
The site is smooth, the rendered CherryPal looks sleek, but would you buy this?
I’m wondering how this will go if it becomes popular and if we’ll see cherries replacing apples on the backglass of cars everywhere.
Festivals
“Holi, also called the Festival of Colours, is a popular Hindu spring festival observed in India, Guyana, and Nepal. On the second day, known as Dhulhendi, people spend the day throwing colored powder and water at each other. The spring season, during which the weather changes is believed to cause viral fever and cold. Thus, the playful throwing of the colored powders has a medicinal significance: the colors are traditionally made of Neem, Kumkum, Haldi, Bilva, and other medicinal herbs prescribed by Ayurvedic doctors.”
What festivals are celebrated where you live?
Things We Love : Spaceships
Not just spaceships, but concept ships and experimental aircraft. Especially really shiny ones. Check out the Concept Ships Blog!
Theme Find
We found a nice theme today to share with you - it’s available here at Smashing Magazine. This theme has a grungy, paper feel.
iTunes Alerts
“Every week Apple offers a special 99¢ movie rental on iTunes. 99Rental.com keeps track of the $0.99 iTunes Movie of Week for you. You can check the site or be notified automatically through RSS, Email, Twitter, or Dashboard Widget”
New 3G iPhone : Purikura Style
The only way to show our love towards the iPhone that Dennis waited in line for this morning, was to surround it with hearts and stars. It’s very fitting, we think. (While the inferior iPhone is in smoke and flames.)
Purikura is a style of printing found in many Japanese photo booths. The kitten mousepad? Always a special added touch to such occasions.

Things We Love Thursday : Robots
Lately because of the amazing WALL-E movie (which you should really see if you haven’t yet) we have been really interested in robots. There’s actually a lot more robots around than we thought. You can’t help but ooo and ahh over robots that do silly things but have amazing designs. Sony Rolly, we’re looking at you.
WordPress Wednesday : Woo!
These themes are sizzling. Visit to believe it - we love Woo!
“WooThemes is a project started by four respected designers - Adii, Magnus Jepson, Mark Forrester and Elliot Jay Stocks - whom all share one thing: their passion for WordPress. All of the themes available on WooThemes are 100% unique and we can assure you that you won’t find similar CMS solutions elsewhere for any other platform.”
Flickr Friday : Happy July 4th
To our USA clients, have a special and relaxing holiday (and weekend)!

WordPress Wednesday: Instant Upgrade!
Has upgrading your current WordPress version to a newer one always been a hassle to you? Well worry no more, with the InstantUpgrade plugin, you’ll have your WP upgraded in no time! All it takes is a few clicks of your mouse and that’s all! Of course, always be sure to have back ups of your files, just-in-case!
PS: If your WordPress was installed through Fantastico, it is highly recommended to use the upgrade feature available through Fantastico, rather then manually.
Useful Tuesday : RSS Snacks
Are you new to using RSS feeds? If you want to ease into the transition, Snackr may be the answer for you. It scrolls summaries of feeds across your screen and provides eye candy at the same time.
You do not even have to leave your screen to read one of the articles. They pop up into a small window and just as easily disappear so that you can get back to what you were doing.
Snackr is a very polished and useful tool!
