Elegant Grunge is a free wordpress theme made by Michael Tyson [no, not this one]

Main features:

• Automatic surrounding of all images with a frame packed with eye-candy that makes images really pop out.
• A ‘photo blog’ tag page that displays entries in a photo blog style.
• A widget to display thumbnails from latest/random photo blog entries.
• A custom page template that allows complete customization of the sidebar: Supply a list of tags to automatically display related posts, and specify any text/html to be displayed.
• Per-page and per-post configuration to turn on and off automatic image framing, among other things, and a global configuration interface – turn on/off the RSS link, set your own copyright message, or add your own extra header content – like adding a rel=alternate link to your Twitter feed.
• A ‘feature’ footer that you can add widgets to.

We all know twhirl – this is the best AIR application for Twitter. Well – today I found about Tumblweed.

About Tumblweed: Tumblweed is a desktop client for the wonderful Tumblr service which allows users to view posts and create new ones from their desktop. Tumblweed supports most features on Tumblr as well as allowing photos posts from webcams, clipboards, or drag-and-dropping. It works on both Windows and Mac.

If you are a designer / developer, then you know that cheat sheets are a gold mine.

You don’t know what is a cheat sheet?

A “cheat sheet” is any short reference to terms (one or two pages, commands, or symbols where the user is expected to understand the use of such terms etc but not necessarily to have memorized all of them. Many computer applications, for example, have cheat sheets included in their documentation which list keystrokes or menu commands needed to achieve specific tasks to save the user the effort of digging through an entire manual to find the keystroke needed to, for example, move between two windows. [source]

Six Revisions released almost a month ago a great article in which they gave more than 40 cheat sheets for designers.

It’s an excellent tool, a real must have, so go ahead and download them all…
