If you’re a Windows user like me and wondering if Microrsoft might leave you high & dry when they recently stop selling Windows XP from June 30 2008. Well the good news is they’ll be supporting XP till 2014. So thats a good 6 years, and considering the next OS Windows 7 (aka Blackcomb and Vienna) is expected in another two years time. Who know Vista might be history.

Kudos to Collis Ta’eed and team, after the successful quality tutorial sites like PSDTuts, NetTuts, VectorTuts. They have launched another spoonfed tutorial site, AudioTuts. And if you think you can write kickass tutorials they pay you $150 for every tutorial published!

FontExplorer™ X is a great font management from Linotype. And the best part is, its FREE. Currently only the Mac version is available for download. But check back soon, the Windows version is coming real soon.

When was the last time you felt you’d seen something and it blows you away. And you felt the urge, specially if you’re blogging or those office water cooler chats, to shout-out-loud that what this stuff is packed with. Offered in 22 and 39 megapixels, Hasselblad are the cameras you stop talking about megapixel and any of those silly little jargons. With it’s history spanning a century & half, that includes the portraits of our planet from space and a moon trip with NASA.

Hasselblad H3D is rumored to have a price tag around $25,000. Its not for everyone or the average consumers, we can call it Rolls Royce of cameras. If you’re those few people to own this camera, you better be making masterpieces not simply take pictures.

I’d stumble upon this URL in my old Google bookmarks. 100 Hands showcases the works of Bangalore based designer/filmmaker/musician Premjit Ramachandran. Quite an array of inspiring works in design, music & film. My only concern is the amount of popups, which some visitor might find it annoying.

But looking beyond the popups, this site is my library of inspiring Indian designer.
