Cool video from Spinner:
Post hip-hop troubadour RJD2 teamed with dance and media artist Bill Shannon for the ‘Work It Out’ video. Shannon, born with a degenerative hip condition, developed a way to express himself through dance (and even skateboarding) on crutches. Director Joey Garfield took to the streets of New York and captured one continuous […]

Ashton has an awful cold. I never knew so much mucous could come out of something so small. He seems to be dealing with the issue by not sleeping. We’re running a humidifier and a Vick’s vaporizer to help him at night.

I had heard about Digg for years but a system to rank popular news stories just didn’t interest me that much. I finally took a look at the site and I was an immediate convert.

Are you a designer? Do you have clients? Are they in love with their logo to the detriment of anything you try to design for them? Then this song is for you: Make the Logo Bigger presumably by Burnback (song and links courtesy of today’s Compiler Blog).

I’ve been meaning to simplify my work / life by creating some classes that I can use to streamline a lot of the projects that I work on. I found myself with some time this week and finally took a small step in that direction by creating a pagination class. Up until now I’ve used a function that I wrote way back when for paging.
