Pity I use the excellent News Fire for my syndication needs, the new theme really makes me want to switch.
Tingelets - Bookmarklets for Designers
Tingelets is a new, free and practical service for designers and developers. Basically it’s a set of bookmarklets that you can place in your browsers bookmark bar for immediate use. When you click on them, they highlight various elements in the current page. You can highlight tags, elements by id, elements by class and even tag sets (for example <ul> and <li> as a combination). Since they work in almost every web browser, they give you the possibility to compare web layouts on the fly.
The Tingelets are the newest project from Maurice Kühlborn and they are extremely well done. When you click on a tingelet, the corresponding element or elements are highlighted with transparent PNGs which display the name of the highlighted element.
It’s a perfect and quick solution for troubleshooting and diagnostics without having to resort to external tools like Xyle Scope.
Design News - All in One
aetherworld.org is now a proud member of Design-Feed. Design-Feed is an online aggregator site for the most interesting design related RSS feeds on the web. What sets apart Design-Feed from other aggregator sites are the hand picked feeds. This means you can get all the latest, and best, graphics and web design news in one place, rather than browsing through hundreds of sites every day. Every post aggregated is also searchable by keyword.
“Basically, it’s a one-stop shop to get all the latest web-design buzz. If you are familiar with MXNA, you can think of this as MXNA for designers”, says Felix Turner, creator of Design-Feed.

ColorZilla now working on Intel Macs!
I’ve just received word from Alex Sirota, that his great Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Suite extension, ColorZilla, is now working on Intel Macs.
Its task is to assist professional web developers and designers with color related tasks. The feature most of us have used though, was the color picker, which unfortunately stopped working on Intel Macs.
ColorZilla allows you to get a color reading from any pixel in your web browser. You can do all sorts of things, like adjusting the sampled colors and copying them to the clipboard, but those are just two of the color related tasks ColorZilla performs.
