Down For Everyone Or Just Me?

Do you ever have problems accessing a website and wonder whether it's your computer, your internet service provider or the planetary alignment? If so, this tool is for you!


You type in a URL to see if a site is down for everyone or just you.

Of course, if it is your internet service provider, then you won't be able to get to the site...

Awesome Free Online Image Map Editor

Found at OpenBracketLLC.com

If you couldn't tell, I got a little carried away with myself doing the image map in this post.

Vector Magic

From the Vector Magic website:

"This site converts bitmap images to vector images - it's an online auto-tracer.
Just upload your image and we will vectorize it for you. "

Hrm. Maybe I'll never have to master Adobe Illustrator!

Dear Santa:

I've been very good this year. If you have any extra lying around, I'd really like a Cintiq 12WX for Christmas.

With thanks to Drawn.ca for the tip!
