Thanks Yahoo! for making these handy wireframe stencils available in formats that support the standard tools for building wire frames and prototypes. I discovered them while browsing through Graffletopia.

Even more kind is that Yahoo! released these stencils under a Creative Commons (share, remix, attribution) license.

My friend David Fu showed me this stunning video a few months ago. I just now re-discovered it on YouTube and couldn’t help but to post it here for others to discover. Apple has patented this technology for use in their iPhone. I imagine it won’t be long before we will see this technology show up on workstations, and more. I can’t wait!

Since migrating to Mac OS X as my near-full-time platform I have sorely missed SnagIt’s ability to capture full length web pages (scrolling below the fold). For the past few months I’ve been getting by with a cross-platform plugin for FireFox called ScreenGrab. It was slow and could run out of memory on long pages. I was happy to receive an automatic update to the latest ScreenGrab version 0.9.3. It uses the Gecko rendering engine for capturing web pages, making it much faster than the prior Java implementation. You can capture the view port, a selection, or the entire page with a right-click in FireFox.

I use Snapz Pro X for most of my screen capture needs (works like a charm for motion screen capture) but when I need to save a full browser screen as a PNG there is no substitute for ScreenGrab. Yes, I’ve tried Paparazzi but you can’t browse with and that is very inconvenient. This is a show stopper for me because with modern web pages there are, sadly, many states you can’t preserve in a URI. This makes Paparazzi blind to many things I need in my screen captures.

Thanks for the photo upload Jovino! These Yip-Yips are definitely one of the highlights of my generations Sesame Street. Watch the Yip-Yip skit to see the inspirations for these cool costumes.
