My good friend Slava Dyrdine has finally published his first book of drawings. You can buy a paperback edition from Amazon for only $15. If you are into art and moody things, you’ll love having a copy of this at home or in the office. It also goes well as a present.

Update (May 22, 2017): Also, have a look at this list of mockup tools.
Sketch, wireframe, mockup
I think this image is probably the best explanation I’ve ever seen of the difference between sketches, wireframes, and mockups. Â It comes from this article.
Sketchcast – useful toolbox addition
With all the tools and services blooming recently, it’s still hard to find something useful. Sure there are a million ways of sharing pictures and bookmarks, but we’ve had it for years now. Today, finally, I stumbled upon something which looks to be very useful. And I was glad to see that it is extremely easy to use too – Sketchcast.com.
Sketchcast allows one to create simple sketches – drawings with text and voice over. The tool like this has a huge variety of applications – from driving instructions and computer tutorials to flowcharting and comics. Often I do feel a need to sketch something and then share it either with general public or with certain individuals. Now I have an easy tool to do that.
Sketchcast also has a few additional features which just make it even more useful – RSS feeds, channels, and easy publishing. For the first time in a long time I have a feeling of “easy and simple” coupled with “everything I need, at least for now”. Good job done there.
Here is my channel (the link was added to the right too). You can also subscribe to my sketchcast RSS feed.
