Pixel patterns for Photoshop or Fireworks

Handy set of pixel patterns by Naomi Atkinson in .pat, .mpx and .pdf formats. Beats drawing them by hand every time (of which I’ve been guilty).

PaintbrushJS

New from Dave Shea, “…a lightweight, browser-based image processing library that can apply various visual filters to images within a web page.”

I’m salivating just thinking of the possibilities here. Be sure to check out the demo.

The new Virb

Congratulations to the Virb team for relaunching as a way of building and hosting simple websites. The design and copy is beautifully executed as always.

The Incident

In their own words: “… a fast-paced, retro-style action game”. I can confirm this 8-bit iPhone game is fun, addictive, has great chiptunes, and is easy to play.

Dunk - The Dribbble feed viewer

I’ll do my best not to make this website a repeat of Dribbble news, but… makers of one of my favorite apps for the iPhone (Outside) have just launched the first Dribbble iOS app. Dunk is a beautifully-designed feed viewer for Dribbble shots, tags and players. Really looking forward to seeing more from the Robocat folks (and other app crafters!) as our API matures.

Penultimate

Giving this sketchbook app a spin on the iPad. Hoping it helps me use it more. I’m finding that having an iPhone and a Macbook Pro has me pretty well covered. Waiting for a breakthrough moment with the iPad that goes beyond having yet another device to check email, web, Twitter, etc.
