A simple alternative to Indexhibit: Stacey
“Anthony Kolber is a graphic designer who got frustrated with trying to customize Indexhibit for his friend’s portfolio sites. So he decided to create something to make it simpler, it’s a php app called Stacey.
Stacey’s aim is to make the customizing part easier. You edit html files as html, the installation consists of dropping files onto your server and content editing is handled by creating folders and putting images inside them. There is no ‘admin’ interface, it’s all done via basic ftp.
You can see it working and download it at: http://staceyapp.com
At the moment it is running these sites: aestheticallyloyal.com, andmelbourne.com & hollyrose.com.au”

Hitchcock – Mobile Storyboarding for iPhone
http://www.vimeo.com/6030115
“Hitchcock is the worlds first mobile story boarding application. With Hitchcock you can have your first story board up and running in a matter of minutes. Hitchcock streamlines the process of storyboarding by allowing you to compose storyboards using photos rather than the tedious hand drawing process. This allows professionals and students to portray their vision to others in a easily controllable and transportable format.”

Awesome Websites You Might Have Missed
Name Voyager! Really interesting app that lets you explore name popularity. Also see Name Mapper for where they’re used and Namipedia for their meanings..
Fonolo.com Two words: awe some. I hate calling customer service lines and waiting forever. I’m actually looking forward to the next time, so I can try this out.
KnowYourMeme.com is sort of like Snopes for all classic internet memes, from Star Wars Kid, to present day. It digs in and shows you what they mean (if anything), where they came from, and why they became internet phenomena. Warning: this amazingness may suck up your entire day.
