CoverSutra for Your iTunes

I recently decided to try this nifty little control panel app for iTunes called CoverSutra. It’s a really flexible (nod to the name perhaps) music control panel with a small footprint. It has a variety of nifty settings, supports keyboard shortcuts, integrates with the last.fm music service and my favorite part, has apple remote support. You don’t have to go to Front Row everytime just to control the music from the comfort of the couch. There’s a 10 day free demo so run over to the CoverSutra website and give it a try. If you like it, the purchase price is reasonable at only about $20 USD.

Lucky Oliver, Stock Photos with Style

I recently became aware of a new stock photo resource called Lucky Oliver. I was immediately taken with the design of the site and intrigued by the carnival theme that carries through the site. The budget pricing model caught my eye too as I use lots of stock photography and don’t always want to pay $75 or more for a small web-resolution image. A dollar for a blog-sized photo… now that works for me.

I was pleased to actually find a good selection of quality images on the site. The search was fast and once you choose an image to preview, it’s easy to see any of the other images or sets associated with it. Again, the interface and layout are well thought (iStockPhoto always feels a little clunky to me) out and the flow through the site seems pretty natural. You can tell that they designed the site to let the photos be the focus.
