Handy Tools, Worthwhile Pondering

posted August 10, 2012 #

  • Hover Zoom for Google Chrome - incredibly handy plugin for Chrome to auto-zoom images. I've only been running this a few days and it strikes me as one of those add-ons I can't believe I lived without prior to now.
  • Smart Calendar Assistant for Gmail - I've not actually installed this yet but the intro video looks like it's done super well and unobtrusively. Going to try to dive into it today.
  • Starbucks switches to Square for payments - I assume this is old news now but the impact of this is still striking me as so huge. I'm happy that the expensive, cumbersome credit card infrastructure is getting chipped away for something more nimble and forward thinking. Despite their coffee being terrible (subjective opinion), kudos to Starbucks for moving on this.

What is it you're looking for?
