Earlier today, webcomics.com posted a list of useful apps for comic creators. The list included something for just about everyone. But what it lacked was something useful for the anvil on the head scenario. Sketching that idea that comes out of nowhere is vitally important to the comic artist. While on the bus, in a crowded bar or standing in line at the supermarket it is important to get that idea down before it escapes you.

And so comes in a handy little app called StoryPages that allows for more than just note taking. It allows you not only to draw your idea out, but to script it too.

Just released, the app by SpinThought® is an iPhone app for those that need to create illustrated story pages on the go. StoryPages lets you draw in the top portion of a page and then add text descriptions below your drawing, like a storyboard. You can add a background image from the Photo Gallery or take a picture to use as a semi-transparent background to set the scene if you’d like.

I’ve used it a few times and it is one of those things that if you don’t have, you are constantly thinking “if only…” Or, you can just lose your idea – it is up to you.

It is finally here. Google Chrome for Mac is now available in beta. It’s still missing a few features that are in the Windows version (like support for extensions), but the browser is seems quite fast to me so far. Faster than Safari or Firefox.

And absolutely make sure you read the Google Chrome Comic by Scott McCloud – just so you know how it works of course.

Google also released Chrome for Linux and Extensions for Windows and Linux (in beta). More details on the Google Blog.
