Being a designer can be a tough thing by itself! I have found that one of the most frustrating (and freeing) things about it is that it is truly a healthy mix of intuition, subjectivity, and principle. But not everyone can make the cut, and not everyone is meant to be a designer specifically in [...]

A little violent, perhaps, but I love this video!

A flamethrower has to be the coolest gadget you could carry on your back. What happens when a flamethrower and fire extinguisher meet? The band Dancing Pigeon’s (where do people come up with these band names?) decided to find out in their music video for their single “Ritalin”. Check out the video – it’s awesome:

John Dyer is so cool. He’s just launched some new javascript goodness with MediaElement.js, which replaces <video> with either Silverlight or Flash which returns a wrapper object that matches the HTML5 Media Element API.

I have a thing for new artists and the up-and-comers (as they say). There’s just something about new and raw talent being showcased to the world that gets me going! So, as a result, I want to start showcasing and spotlighting new creative talent, whether it’s artists or musicians or performers or whatever! Our first [...]

I’m all for making “online” easier and more manageable. I know there are a few “purists” out there (heck, I graduated with a lot of them) that try to keep web development out of the hands of so-called tourists, but I’m not that arrogant. Or, at least I hope I’m not… I think it is [...]
