The great features of Chrome's Page Speed, but if your not sure if it's just your browser slowing things down or your internet connection, with this online version you get an unbiased analysis of the webpage from who matters most; the way google sees it.

TumblrThemr - Making Creating Tumblr Themes Easier http://mitchmckenna.com/post/9336/tumblrthemr-making-creating-tumblr-themes-easier

"Creating themes for Tumblr sucks.

It’s a testament to the passion developers and designers feel for Tumblr that so many great themes exist – despite the complete lack of tools. No matter how you tackle it, developing a theme involves a time-consuming mess of manual copying and pasting, saving, testing, and copying and pasting again.

TumblrThemr solves this problem, letting you develop navigable themes locally using real data from your Tumblr blog."

Flixtime - Video Slideshows Made Easy! http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7594/flixtime-video-slideshows-made-easy

"Flixtime - Make an amazing 60-second video - free. Flixtime turns your photos and videos into stunning and unique videos in just minutes! Sign-up for a free account, and upload your images, videos and music. Then, sit back and watch your masterpiece come together!"

Look out animoto, you've got a new competitor on the block. If you looking for an impressive free 60 second slideshow video from your videos I recommend this one over Animoto. The advantage over Animoto is it gives you a HD video for free (Animoto charges $$ for HD). Animoto on the other hand has more impressive effects and incorporation of video, so go with them if your looking to pay for a longer video.

Dirpy - YouTube to Mp3 Converter http://mitchmckenna.com/post/6818/dirpy-youtube-to-mp3-converter

Probably one of the best Youtube > Mp3 online converting services I've come across. Real-time transcoding, higher quality mp3s, no obnoxious ads, and includes file parameters and ID3 tags.

Update: Dirpy.com has shutdown, you can use fetchmp3.com instead (click 'custom conversion' to avoid becoming a member). Got a better site? Let me know in the comments!

"During the day, computer screens look good—they're designed to look like the sun. But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn't be looking at the sun. Tell f.lux what kind of lighting you have, and where you live. Then forget about it. F.lux will do the rest, automatically."

Share An Entire Dropbox Folder With Dropbox-Index http://mitchmckenna.com/post/6256/share-an-entire-dropbox-folder-with-dropbox-index

"One annoying thing about Dropbox is that there is no option to share a whole folder from your Public directory so you must manually copy the link for each file you want to share. For this reason KosciaK created a python script called Dropbox-Index which creates an index.html with all the files in a certain folder from your Dropbox Public folder"
