A few quick finds this week. Couple of small tools that just work, an AI video tool to play with, Angry Birds in your browser, and a jazz track that's been on repeat.

The Low Stakes Toolkit

Stumbled on delphitools recently and I keep going back to it. It's just a collection of small utilities, no sign-up, no data grab, no friction. Sometimes that's all you need.

Been using Iris for color extraction too. I used to do the whole Adobe thing for this, which is fine, but Iris just makes it faster. Upload an image, pull the palette. If you enjoy generator color palettes from images, check this out.

AI Creative Playground

Spaces by Freepik is an infinite canvas built for AI creative collaboration. I've been thinking of signing up to play with their video creation tools. They've got a huge variety of models to choose from.

Design & Gear

Shoutout to Perfectly boring studio. Great name, genuinely great design work. They say they work with "dreamers and winners" and the portfolio backs it up.

On the physical side, I've been eyeballing the Tomtoc Light-T12 pouch for cables and chargers. It's 1.8L, made from recycled polyester, and fits into any larger bag without the usual tangle situation. As someone who switches around packs a lot I was looking for something in the Alpaka Flight Pro size.

Angry Browser Birds

If you need five minutes away from your screen, Angry Birds Friends runs in the browser now. No download and of course fun!

Currently Listening To

This week's track is Circus from Twio Vol. 2 by Walter Smith III.
