55+ Extremely Useful Online Generators for Designers

As I searched for a complete resource of online generators, I did not find any. I found multiple different categories of online generator lists such as favicon generators, css generators, badge generators, color generators, and so on. So I decided to create this ultimate list of online generators. Each of these generators are hand picked by myself and categorized so it is easy to browse.

Lots of useful stuff in here for anyone who plays with websites.

Keeping it Simple: When "Good Enough" is Just Fine | Wisdom Journal

An interesting article by Robert Capps,  “The Good Enough Revolution“  explores the ways in which what consumers want from products and services is changing:  buyers now favor flexibility over high fidelity, convenience over features, and quick and easy over slow and polished. In fact, their very definition of “quality” is changing!

Compassion only goes so far

But the stereotype is what people like the anti-vaccination proponents would like you to think. Their message goes further when “the opposition” — also known as medical science — is painted as heartless, solely profit-driven, and without a thought for, who else, the children. (This argument of course falls flat when you consider how many children, or entire communities of children, are harmed when parents decide not to vaccinate.)

A worthwile read, including the comments.
