I started to revive urlgreyhot for occasional blogging. I've discovered in the past few months that although I primarily have posts to share on UX, there is still the occasional post that is of topic for Konigi, so I'm now posting again here to discuss working with Drupal once again.
I started reading Travis Tidwell's Flash with Drupal book this month to learn what I can about delivering content from Drupal Views into Flash and will post a short summary in a few days. Packt makes the introduction and Chapter 10 on User Management available as a free download for anyone who wants a taste. What I've been most interested in the past are really modest solutions to things, e.g. creating interactive blocks or widgets of content that I can put in a sidebar. But, my skimming of the book has also gotten me interested in how to deliver more complete Flash widgets in larger portions of the page, e.g. creating dynamically rendered visualizations of content using stats from views and ratings.
Will be posting more as I make it through.
Here you go, Fred. My combination of the Evernote and del.icio.us bookmarklets for Firefox/Safari/Chrome, made for nerds that want to save to both. I just combined the two, separated by a semicolon.

ToneMatrix is a simple sinewave synthesizer triggered by an ordinary 16step sequencer. Each triggered step causes a force on the underlaying wave-map, which makes it more cute.

WebEnabled looks like an interesting software sales/services platform. Developers can build pre-built applications and servers. One example might be an open source CMS configured for a specific industry with a suite of associated plugins to support the functionalities required by its use case. I'm thinking this is something like an installer profile with the developer's own code bundled in. Developers can then sell clones of their applications, consulting services, and ongoing support to customers. Customers can buy and host the application anywhere they like.
Sketches are often better tools for communicating designs than high fidelity illustrations or schematics. The purpose of the sketch style wireframe is to prevent the intended audience from thinking about visual design and focus on the functionality and behavior you are proposing.
I'm happy to announce the release of this set of sketch stencils for OmniGraffle, based on the Wireframe Stencil. This set of user interface sketch stencils is designed for OmniGraffle 5.x. OG4 users are able to use the stencils by changing the .gstencil extensions to .graffle. The sketch kit contains all of the UI elements you'll find in the free Wireframe Stencils we provide at Konigi, plus additional shapes and elements to make it easier for you to adjust to this style of wireframing.
As usual, I'm sticking to the goal of keeping the tools on this site inexpensive or free. Your $10 purchase of this stencil set entitles you to free upgrades forever.
The Konigi Wireframe Icons have been updated. PNG versions and contact sheet has been added for all icons. New icons including User (silhouette from front), Groups, Microphone, Clock, Phone, Printer, Power, TV Widescreen, Remote controls, Volume, alternate versions of Cart and Image, and much more have been added. Additionally, some icons have been modified for stylistic consistency.

CameraBag is a cool iPhone app that gives you several camera effects:
-"Helga" - A square-format toy camera feel with washed-out highlights and old-school vignetting.
-"1974" - This is your father's camera. Faded, tinted, and hip.
-"Lolo" - Shoot from the hip and take life as it comes with vibrant, colorful shots.
-"Cinema" - Dramatic, moody, wide-screen stills from the movie of your life.
-"1962" - Dynamic black and whites from the photojournalists of a bygone era.
-"Mono" - Smooth gradation from black to white.
