Best Tech Videos on the net

without comments

I love watching tech videos over the web (and don’t like those boring slow moving soaps on TV!) Do you?

best tech videos

Stumbled upon Best Tech Videos (on the net) today. It aggregates technology videos from around the web. It’s does not look the best, but is a good start when you want to pick up something new on a free day!

Any other video aggregation sites you know / use / recommend?

Yahoo! Stencils – quickly build mockups

without comments

Yahoo! Design Patterns Library has a set of “stencils” available to mock up your next great RIA project! The stencils are available in OmniGraffle, Visio, PDF, PNG and SVG formats. So you can use them with Illustrator or Photoshop / Gimp as well.

Yahoo Design Stencils

They have included stencils for: Ad Units, Calendars, Carousels, Charts and Tables, UI Controls, Form Elements, Grids, Menus and Buttons, Mobile – General, Mobile – iPhone, Navigation and Pagination, OS Elements, Placeholder Text, Screen Resolutions, Tabs & Windows and Containers.

That’s quite a lot – all available under Creative Commons.

And if you were building Flex RIAs, here’s an article on using these stencils along with Flash Catalyst to churn out kickass Flex Apps with almost zero coding!

Enjoy!
