DoodleKit Hand drawn icons [Link]
A nice collection of 700 icons that are hand drawn sketches available as vector and PNG. Kind of pricey at $39 (29 euros) but it might be worth it. I’m still debating if I really want them.

Online Wireframing
There’s a nice round-up of wireframing and mockup webapps over at SpeckyBoy. I love OmniGraffle, but most of the time I need it on my Windows machine at work. I tried most of the apps in the list and only one was good enough for my needs. Specifically, NO FLASH REQUIRED.
Mockingbird is impressive just for how attractive it is without using any flash. I can imagine a number of use cases for an app like this. It’s a smidge pricey though. The cheapest paid plan is $9/mo but the free plan is very useful.

Site Themes
I’ve been using the MidMo theme on this site for awhile. I like it because it is easy on my old eyes and very simple. There are some quirks that bother me so I am considering a new theme. There’s a lot to choose from. I’m also considering some commercial options.
