Have you ever wished in your real, away-from-screen life that you could measure things in pixels? Well, now you can, with a stainless steel ruler that instead of inches or centimeters, is marked in pixels.
Called the Pixel Ruler, it's a perfect tool for user-interface designers that prefer to work with physical tools. The ruler also has extra markers for standard screen sizes, including those of tablets (in both portrait and landscape mode.)
The ruler is just one of the products you can buy from UI Stencils, a website that sells physical tools to design websites and applications. The company's philosophy is that sometimes pen and paper is better than mouse and screen. "Revolutionary products have been conceived on a napkin before taking shape digitally," says the UI Stencils "about" page.
