EdgeCase for multi-monitor setups

You love your double monitor setup, but you have losing the cursor to the other monitor? Here is a great app that solves your problem: EdgeCase.

The app by default stops your cursor at the edges, but you have several ways to cross if you want to: bounce movement on the edge, wait half second after crossing or simply press the Apple (command) key.

The Deeply Graphic Design Podcast

The Deeply Graphic Design Podcast is a fairly new show from The Deep End Design Studio.

Here is a quick interview I made with Wes McDowell, who leads the podcast.

CB: What prompted you to create this podcast?
I have always been a fan of the talk radio format, and over the last few years I have subscribed to a number of other design-themed podcasts that I really enjoyed. Over the past year, I have noticed that many of them have started going away. I don't know if its because they got too busy to keep putting them out, or if they just weren't getting enough listeners to justify spending the time doing it, but in either case, I thought that I could fill the void left by them. Also, I find myself giving design advice to others in person, or on forums, etc, so it seemed like a natural fit to start a podcast.
