Would you like to include a web-based tracking solution for your next project that can report your GPS coordinates from your cell phone? Do you want to do it for free? Here’s a great solution.
InstaMapper is a free application that you install on your phone, which continuously sends your GPS coordinates to their website, where they use the Google Maps API to generate a real time map of your location. You can choose the refresh rate to balance accuracy with battery life in your phone.
This would be a great tool for someone who might be doing something like bicycle across the country to raise awareness of lung cancer and to encourage followers to quit smoking. Whats more, they even have a Facebook app to embed the animated mapping software in your facebook account.

Vintage design, when done well, can make a user feel like they have been transported back in time. This particular style often uses design elements that look like they were found in the attic of an old house dating back to the 1920’s, 30’s, or 40’s. If you have a project coming up that requires this type of design, here is a big roundup of textures and Photoshop brushes, all found at deviantArt.

There’s a ‘film music‘ section on moby.com where independent and non-profit filmmakers, film students, and anyone in need of free music for their independent, non-profit film, video, or short can listen to and request to use original Moby sound tracks at no cost.
The music is free as long as it’s being used in a non-commercial or non-profit film, however if you want to use it in a commercial film or short then you can apply for an easy license, with any money that’s generated being given to the humane society.
Moby has found a nice way to help a cause that is near and dear to him, while also helping film makers for free or cheap. Thanks Moby!
