Hit 'n' Run, 05/16/2003

Here ya go, my collection of links I've found throughout the week:

FlashWizzard - Not sure if I mentioned this, but the fine folks at Crazy Ivan, who make the very cool flash audio/video/photo player Boomer, are offering up a nice piece of free Flash-related software called "Flash Wizzard." If you've saved any Flash files from the web (*.swf), you know that you can play them on your PC by using the free standalone Flash Player. But just how to insert a flash file in a web page is often confusing. "Flash Wizzard" makes it easy. Just point it at the file, tell the program the size you want the flash file to play as, and generate the HTML. Comes in handy if you have a Flash cartoon you want to play on your Pocket PC. In that case, just set the width to 240 & height to 260 so the file won't go off your screen.

FlyCAM CF - Dig this Compact Flash camera for the Pocket PC (more specs here), it even has a light built in! The $169.00 price tag is waaaay too steep for me, but I'd sure like one or two of their offerings.

Fortune Magazine & Carrot Top - Yes, you know the guy has made it when Fortune interviews him. Carrot Top. Love him or hate him, there is no in-between.

Freddy vs Jason Trailer - One two, it's online for youuuuuuu

Charlie's Angels Animated - Hmm, one good Matrix related idea deserves another....

Snake for Pocket PC - Handymasters is apparently at work on a Pocket PC version of the addictive Flash game Bookworm. Nothing much there now, but I can't wait! I love the free version, and have been wanting the Full version too, but I know it wouldn't play on the Pocket PC. So I may wait it out.

Game Switch T-Shirt - Man, I am so bummed these are out of stock!

Flash & PHP working together - Great stuff for php folks.

Free Flash slides for ppt - Spice up your Powerpoint with these Flash animations

Flash Fonts - Tiny fonts for Flash apps, or if you are like me, for use in graphic design.

Nice Flash and PS tutorials - Because there is always something left to learn.

Quarbon - Amazing little screen action capture program that is perfect for "How To" demos in the corporate world. A free, non-expiring (but branded) version is available, so do give it a whirl. It is really impressive!

Flash by Tara - Amber Benson, the gal that played Tara on Buffy, wrote a Flash-based series on the BBC web site.

Royalty Free Images - From NOAA huge, impressive and varied collection. Also found some nice RF photos here.

Pocket PC Free Stuff Section

PocketBlog - Pocket PC software that empowers you to Blog anywhere, anytime. From the author: Weblog entries are maintained offline. When Internet connectivity becomes available, such as when your Pocket PC is placed in it's docking cradle or a WiFi card is inserted, changes are automatically posted to your weblog. Pocket Blog also downloads recent weblog entries, enabling you to edit entries that were originally posted from your desktop. If you try it out, let me know how it goes.

SideX - A nice PPC application with some cool free utilities, like an on-screen keyboard. Get SideX and the freeware add-ins here The keyboard is available here. I haven't tried it, so let me know.

Space Finder - Helps you find out what files are hogging your storage space.

Handy Shortcuts - Looks like a great tool to have: Create shortcuts for any of your programs, files, or folders on your desktop and arrange them the way you like. Display shortcuts in one up to four lines, and manage them easily by adding or deleting new and existing ones. Also check out their "Handy Browser."

Small Menu - Gives your Pocket PC the windows-style cascading menus. Very cool program, you'll want this one!

Shutdown - Adds the familiar XP style shutdown menu. Just!SO!COOL!!

Jokes for Kids Flashcards - Want corny jokes? Here ya go!

iZotop Photonshow - Makes flash photo slideshows for the Pocket PC, among other platforms. Their site has a free version to try. Didn't wanna run for me on Win2K so I don't know if there are shareware limitations or what. It looks like a great program, but the $50 for the full version is just too high.
