I love paper toys, papercraft, card modeling, etc. & just found two cool blogs over at Blogger on the subject:

Bubbl.us

Seven months ago I posted about a really cool web tool called Gliffy which lets you create rather nice looking diagrams from a very feature-rich interface (especially for a web-app).
Now, I present bubbl.us. That’s it, instead of .com, it’s .us.
Anyway, it’s a super easy, and surprisingly stocked “mind mapping” web app that’s great for [...]

Reach Actual Humans* When Calling Businesses

http://gethuman.com
Learn how to bypass (more-or-less) that phone maze when calling your favorite company. Assuming, of course, your favorite company is listed there. I happily just found our current insurance company in the list!!
I posted about this site many moons ago on an old blog of mine (soon to be lost to the ether), [...]

LetterPop

This is cool. Just found it by clicking an ad on FD’s Flicker Toys (yes, sometimes I click ads). Anyway, looks like a pretty quick way to churn out a decent looking newsletter for whatever. Could be really handy for branches that don’t have Publisher or the like. Even for those [...]

“The Department of Strategery” – who knew?

 
I’m a word nerd.  Can’t help it.  Love figuring out the history and reasoning behind interesting words.
One of my favorite (and, let’s face it, one of the best) words of all time is strategery.
Well, wouldn’t you know it, Wikipedia has an entry for it, and you’re gonna love how they use the term inside the [...]

Create Quick (and rather nice) Diagrams and Flow Charts Online with Gliffy.com

Now this is very cool. It’s been around for a little while (saw it on LifeHacker earlier this year), but I only recently got around to actualy using it, and I’m quite impressed. It may be a little hard to tell from the image (click it or here for a better shot), but it’s really [...]
