Previously-mentioned online drawing tool Cumulate Draw’s newest version adds lots of handy features, like network and floor plan shapes.
Quickly throw together a network diagram, flowchart, org chart, or rearrange your furniture using office (and kitchen and bath) floorplan items.
Cumulate Draw’s interface is rich with click and drag features to enlarge, rotate and re-position items. Click on the image above for a quick and dirty chart I threw together in a few minutes with Cumulate Draw. Thanks, Chris!

Design site Nifty Tutorials has posted a practical step by step on how to create a mosaic effect for your photographs using Photoshop.
From start to finish, this shouldn’t take you more than (tops) 10 minutes, and it really makes a cool looking transformation
.
Personally, I think this would be a great way to combine a few of your favorite vacation photos into one awesome montage; you could really use this with any combination of photos.
many thanks to Lifehacker
