bCheck’s Capster is very small (5k!), useful, and the concept is unique. When in Capster, you choose a specific application that you would like to run when your computer starts up, but the thing is that it will only start up when the Caps-Lock key is on. I found this to be a very interesting concept and I certainly can find many uses for it. I have many applications, and some of them are in startup that I only need for certain times, like work. If I use Capster, I can open up, lets say, Notepad when the computer boots up. But only when I have the Caps-Lock key down. When I’m not going to work and I’m booting my compter, I just take Caps-Lock off and Notepad wont open. Very small, useful, and is a great idea.

Just a quick note that Virb, a new social network that’s got me excited, has launched today. I was accepted into the private beta a couple months ago and its really come a long way. It’s beautifully designed, has great iTunes integration, and has got a little bit of everything in there. Perhaps what I like most is how customizable the profiles are. Be sure to check it out!

swfIR is a new Flash replacement technique that replaces and adds visual effects to images on the fly using simple JavaScript. It’s similar to the the popular Flash text replacement technique, sIFR. You can, without physically editing an image, set borders, shadows, alpha transparencies, blurring, rotation and more to any image on your website. Pretty neat! (via Mike Davidson)
