Do you need to find things really fast, search for something from your favorite search engine, or find the definition of a word? Then Trip, created by Glen Murphy would be perfect for you.

Trip is a simple piece of software that will instantly present you with a free-floating text input field when a hotkey is pressed. From there you can type URLs or ‘quicksearch’ URLs like those that appear in Internet Explorer and Firefox. You can also use Trip to launch regular executable files/shortcuts as you would using the windows Run dialogue. Opening Trip is faster and less obtrusive than waiting for your browser to open and finding its URL field (the Trip textfield is automatically selected for you).

It is really fast and simple. Perfect. Go view Trip and give it a try.

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)
