Fun E-Learning

There are lots of different approaches to the amorphous market of 'e-learning' but only a handful ever feel much like fun. I think amongst the best of these are sites like MangaHigh which teaches Math, or Moshi Monsters which has subtle learning tasks for kids.

Another which works well is Quipper

PSD 2 Facebook Fan Page

Now here's a creative service. These guys went the extra step to think about why someone would want an HTML version of their PSD design, besides the obvious for the website. My hats off to these people for providing this nifty service.

Skitch: Doodling Done Right

After choosing your starting point (a photo, screenshot, etc.), you can edit your creation using a number of built-in tools that take advantage of the iPad's touchscreen interface. Objects you draw on the screen can be moved around with your finger or pulled into the trash. A pencil tool lets you draw freehand. You can add text. And you can drag, pull and adjust other objects like arrows, circles, squares and lines.

None of this is entirely ground-breaking stuff, but Skitch does what it does very well. It's a pleasure to use.

Transformers Stroller

The 4Moms Origami Stroller is like a transformer that goes from being an ordinary stroller for a baby, down to a nice little buggy car for a toddler. It looks really neat.

This "transfomers concept" should be taking off very soon into other types of products. I wonder what could be next?
