Denim - the User interface prototyping tool
Passed along by Henri of Midgard CMS fame: Denim seems very neat.
Basically it’s a java-based website protyping tool where you can use a wacom tablet or such, to sketch a basic content layout and it makes a semi-working prototype to play with the navigation.
Now, this is very very interesting also for non-web user interface design: sketch a UI, play with it and perhaps even test it with a bunch of test people, all with no programming required at this stage, and it might be a lot nicer than paper prototypes. Need to check that out soon.

Yeah, Denim has been around for a while, I used it on a project two or three years ago. Had one or two glitches in those days, but certainly fun to play with.

Garrett show it to me as well this summer. It was pretty slick. I wished I had a tablet to try it out with b/c it seemed helpful.
