Through Hacker News I found out about DabbleBoard. Very easy to use tool for quickly whiteboarding out diagrams online. Still needs some work (limited shapes, not easy to collaborate), but seems very nice and easy to use. Probably will replace Gliffy for me for simple whiteboarding exercises.

About six months ago, I switched my work computer to a MacBook Pro. Today, I read a LifeHacker tip talking about easily forgotten/not know about Mac features. One that I had never heard of was using the say command, a terminal command that will speak whatever text you send to it.
> say Hello World # Will speak from
> say -f /etc/hosts # Will read out your /etc/hosts file
Hmm….I wonder how my code sounds. I’ve always been a big fan of the development concept that your code shouldn’t need a ton of comments if it reads well. But how would it sound…
Turns out some Java code sounded pretty good. I could definitely visualize and understand the class as it was being read to me. But some Ruby code I was working on sounded terrible; I chalk it up to the lack of verbosity in the language.
Another interesting use of the command for me is for README files. I usually lack the patience to read a whole README file, but I have good retention of those things that I hear. So when I see a README file, I can now just have say read it aloud to me and I get the content as I dive into whatever I am doing!
