Speaking of great companies releasing awesome new products, these Stickto’s just came out today. They’re portable, sticky-note-style to-do list from the awesome guys at Paste. And better yet, they’re for sale at Idea Cafe.

Seth Godin:

By trying to reach as many as we could, we were never intimate enough to generate conversations that mattered or ideas that spread…

Seth’s talking about the booth you set up at a trade shows, but I’m applying this advice to my own website. Because, in a way, isn’t your website like a booth at a global event called the Internet? You can try to be the biggest and the flashiest and be the talk of the show, or you can try to develop personal interactions with those who are willing to give you their time and attention.

Many, many thanks to the amazing guys at Resen for sponsoring the RSS feed this week to promote Curator.

Curator is a web app built to simplify and speed up the process of creating presentation docs for your design mockups. You simply upload your designs (logos, webpages, cover artwork, photographs, whatever…) and Curator does the rest and then gives you a high-quality PDF.

I know that a lot of web designers don’t own InDesign or Illustrator in order to build their own presentation docs, or their time is better spent on other things. Curator handles both of those problems. You can upload your designs and build your presentation doc for free, and if you’re happy then it’s just $0.99 for the PDF download.

And speaking of snowboarding, remember this final run at the 2010 Olympics where Shaun already had the gold medal cinched and so his last run of the night was this awesome show-off run where he busted out the Double McTwist 1260 at the end? So electric.

I can’t find NBC’s official footage of the whole run. If you want to see a more professional version of the McTwist 1260, here’s a more official promo video done by Red Bull. But it’s not from that electric Olympic night.

God knows I love the mountains and snowboarding. Doing runs like this seems like a dream come true and a nightmare at the same time. The thrill of being up there and being on runs like that, combined with the sheer terror of flying down those runs makes my heart pound.

Ian Hines conducts a fantastic Interview. And his site, intrv.ws is steadily building some top-notch features. This month, you get to read about me, how I began shawnblanc.net, what I do every day, and other interesting tidbits. Thanks, Ian!

You’ve seen the latest episode of Put This On, right? Good. Now read Jim Ray’s post to find out what and where to buy all that awesome shaving gear. That’s what I’m doing.

I love that the place was intentionally architected to facilitate spontaneous, bumping-into-people-in-the-hallway type of meetings.

Gorgeous looking, widgetized stats board based on Panic’s cool status board. This would look great on a big screen in the Web Team’s office. (Via Jimray.)

Speaking of “Desk Envy”, remember Josh Farmer’s sweet Mac setup?

I love this. Even the “smaller” indie Mac shop, Useful Fruit, is seeing sweet results from the Mac App Store. Chad Sellars:

The Mac App Store has more than doubled total revenue from Pear Note, and I’m ecstatic. Sure, others are seeing orders of magnitude improvements, but doubling sales is plenty for me. Note that this happened without playing any pricing games or doing any other unusual stunts. Pear Note on the store is $39.99, the exact same price as it is and always has been when purchased directly.
