Heya there!

After a long weekend on the bike, I'm back at work today sifting through all the emails. Top priorities this week: trying to make more progress on the interviews for the new issue of Offscreen and also hosting a small event here in Melbourne this Friday. I better get back into it then...

Have a great week! Here's a 'pick me up' if you need one.

This Weekʼs Line-Up

Pen holder for your notebook
01

FlipClip is a little plastic clip that can be attached securely to any of your favourite notebooks so your pens and pencils are always ready to go! As the name suggests, it flips open with the cover of the notebook as to not be in your way. Currently on Kickstarter.

 
Turn your Facebook page into a website
02

Do you have friends who run a restaurant, bar or some other small business and don't have the time/skills to build their own website? Ekko is a new app that turns a Facebook page/feed into its own website. It's still in beta (and to be honest, quite expensive), but I quite like the idea of making that information available on non-Facebook pages.

 
Customise your notebooks
03

Are you an engineer? How about graph paper on the left side and lines on right? App designer? How about a blank page on the left and an iPhone template on the right? Musician? How about staves on the left page and lines on the right page? With Wrights Notes you can customise the design of the inside of your notebook.

 
A colour picker for Mac
04

I love the look of this new colour picker tool for Mac. A great solution for those who work a lot with colours across different apps. 

 
Pixely MacBook stickers
05

Every now and then I get approached and asked about my pixelated coffee cup MacBook sticker. Along with a few other designs, they are all lovingly hand-dispatched by my friend Stefan in Germany.

 
Newsletter via RSS
06

A few of you have asked me whether I have an RSS feed of this newsletter. Unfortunately Campaign Monitor doesn't offer such a feature, but there are ways to get your TMD issue in a feed. Kill The Newsletter turns newsletters into RSS feeds. Haven't tried it myself yet, but what a neat idea if it works as advertised.

 
If you only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.
