Photovisi: Create a photo collage in minutes
A running buddy of mine who, like me, raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through Team in Training and wanted to make a collage of pictures from our last running season. I’m going to send her to Photovisi, a cool site that makes collages in a flash.
Without registering, you can choose a template, upload photos, then save your collage and download. I bet putting together a great collage of our pictures from the season would take her about 15 minutes. Way cool.
Photovisi is 100 percent free. Way cool as well.

It will help your screen mimic the light in the room you’re in, thus relieving your tired eyes. My fabulous assistant, Claire, loves it.

TypeIt: Create that upside down “a” in your email
If you’re like me, a character with an accent mark or that “n” with the little hook at the end is a show stopper when I’m typing. I have to first remember where to look for the special characters key, and then I have to spend 5 minutes trying to get it right. And if it’s a foreign character? Fuhgettaboutit.
TypeIt.org helps you quickly type phonetic symbols to cut and paste into emails, documents and more.
Now if I could only remember which way the accent goes in voila.
See other font helpers here, such as Identifont, which helps you identify a mystery font.
