Snapper

James, one of the cool and hip dudes in our CTL, just told me about the Firefox addon Snapper.  It basically allows you to snip images from a webpage and downloads them as PNG (Portable Network Graphic) files. For those of us who ask students to play with new technologies, and need to make “how-to” sheets, this at least allows you to capture specific images on the page (instead of doing a “PrtSc” and then cropping). However, the best part of this app is that it puts a little red fish on the lower lefthand corner of your browser window (next to the monkey for Greasemonkey, I’m starting a zoo). When you click on the fish, it opens its mouth, and you can capture the image. How “cute” (nudge, nudge James) is that?
