I’ve been looking for an app that could generate a full website as a PDF (text remains searchable). Paparazzi! does just that. And it’s free. Serious.
Found over at CreativeBits. Thanks goes out to Hybernaut for directing me to what he uses, which in turn let me change my search terms.
UPDATE: I discovered that you can just drag a URL from Safari on the Paparazzi dock icon and it automagically creates the capture. Cool.
I learned a bit about the Offshoots parameters today… came up with this one.
As I was noodling around with Offshoots I noticed CocoPad. It’s a velocity sensitive notepad specifically for tablet users to write down quick notes. It’s not perfect but it’s free and I’m happy I found it.
As I just mentioned I created a ink–like preset for Offshoots. I’m not totally sold on my finished work but there are some neat things about it. I slowed down the brush speed and configured it so that only one thing could draw at a time. Because I set the minimum branch size to 1 it sometimes creates imperceptible changes to the image, which in turn changes my awareness of the space.
Offshoots is a Mac App and Screensaver that creates random branches. The preset includes a lot of variation and colors but by exercising constraints it’s possible to make a pretty beautiful screensaver.
Next I am going to try just all black and white, in a calligraphic style.
Seems like a nice, simple, audio recorder for Mac.
SignalApps creates desktop software that integrates with 37signals web software…
They have one product right now, Logbook. It posts to Backpacks Journal page. I’d love it though I balked at the $13 pricetag even though I avidly use the Journal. To make things worse – it didn’t work at all.
