Sometimes making things simpler can be so incredibly easy.

I found a video for this application called Divvy on Boing Boing. It works for Mac and Windows and it's so incredibly simple. But still kind of cool. Here's the link: http://www.boingboing.net/2011/03/28/divvy-an-ocd-suffere.html

And the video by itself is below.

It's basically just as application to resize windows so they fit perfectly together on your computer screen. The blog post calls it the OCD sufferer's delight, which I would have to agree with. For me, this application would really come in handy. I don't actually have OCD, but I consider myself close enough. There are so many times when I'm trying to type and look at a webpage at the same time (or when jstor won't let me copy and paste) and this application could really help.

These are the types of advances I usually like to see. That sounds awful, but I'm NOT a technological person, so most of the stuff on these tech blogs I either don't care about or just don't understand. Applications like Divvy that make something I already have to do all the time a little simpler with an easy-to-use format make me happy. Unlike blogs posts titled "Researchers manage 448Gbps on commercial hardware, coming soonish to a trunk near you" or "German students make life-sized VR Fruit Ninja, declare war on digital produce." Come on...
