Make a Book of your Blog (or anything else!)
I LOVE it when people make great software that is easy to use and Mac-ish. I've also wanted to make a hard bound book of Alex' blog.
Booksmart from Blurb is the answer. It is a free software download, and a great program at that, to create all sorts of books-- cook book, journal, photo, text, etc. My favorite feature allows you to log into a blog program, and BookSmart gets all the blog entries and can autopopulate it into a hard or softbound book. They also have some great video tutorials.
In addition to pulling all the text and photos from your blog, it fully integrates with iPhoto, making drag and drop a breeze.
Supercool!

Selecting colors by emotional tone
Particletree just posted a review of a book called Color Image Scale.
A Japanese "color psychologist" wrote this book which provides sample color palettes organized together to look good, but takes it one step further by indexing these palettes by their emotional tone, such as "romantic," "cool casual," or "modern."
This is a brilliant idea, because you can browse for color palette ideas based on the feel you want your colors to bring to your project.

VLC
Master Your Digital Media with VLC
Anyone using VLC? I downloaded it so I could view multiple media formats but I did not know it could do some of this! I had not opened it in a while. Time for another look.

What is this Django Business?
Get Started With Django
WebMonkey has a good intro and tutorial on how to get started building Web apps w/ the Python based Django. It is not a CMS but it looks as if it could build one.
I am not a Web programmer but if I were asked to learn... this is the kind of thing I would explore.
