Over at coldeplex there is another great project that I wanted to let you know about.  The project is called image resizer and is clone of the old Image Resizer XP Powertoy.  The tool was created by Brice Lambson to support new operating systems and also 64 bit operating systems.  The tool lets you quickly resize your pictures by just right clicking the picture and select resize picture.  You then have the option of creating a small, medium, large, or mobile device size.  This tool is one of the must haves when I install a new operating system.

The Poshboard project on Codeplex is a very interesting project.  I came across this project while doing a some research on creating dashboards from PowerShell.  The project was designed to create a modular IT web portal based on PowerShell and Silverlight.  In order to accomplish this the project has leveraged the use of several programs like silverlight cover flow, DevExpress AgDataGrid, blacklight, visifire silverlight charts.  The current version of this project is 2.5, but they also have a beta version out of their next release.  Check out the links below and let me know what you think.

Web Of Trust is a a web browsing tool that I came across recently.  This tool installs as an extension on your favorite browser.  WOT will then warn you about risky sites before you click on them.  The nice thing about the tool is if you go to a site directly it will pop up a banner warning you.  You can then select to continue on to the site or you can surf in a different direction.  WOT currently has almost 27 million sites rated and is growing every day.  I was pretty surprised to see that out of the 27 million about 3 million are rated dangerous.  This tool has really saved me a couple of times over the past couple weeks.  So I encourage you to stop on over at their site and check it out.  Stop back by and let me know what you think.
