I have been evaluating Balsamiq Mockups this week to see what it is all about and to determine if I want to try to get it at work.
Balsamiq Mockups is a tool (built with Flex and Adobe® AIR) used to mock-up site designs and layouts. It has a really easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface with a LOT of customization options.

For a while before we left for the LONG drive to Indiana (it took us 12 hours), I was beginning to wonder if it was worth it. 12 Hours is a long time, gas is expensive, hotels are expensive, had to take two days off of work just from driving, etc. Well, let me tell you, it was worth it. I had a blast, I learned a ton and I met some fantastic people. Also, I rode with 4 other people, so the gas and hotel were not that bad.
