As some of you may already know, I’m planning a move to Seattle this fall, and as such, I’m researching potential jobs in design in the area. I’ve been told that Amazon is a great employer in the the region, so I pointed my browser toward their aptly titled Careers section (well, somewhat titled… the…

OS X Hints: Titlebar Icons
The following was written, by me, on a private Mac support forum, and assumes the user is using a recent version Mac OS X (probably 10.3 and after, as the sidebar appeared in 10.3) and has a basic understanding of the OS and what the modifier keys are (control, option, command). Oh the hidden power…
Beta
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m starting to wonder when the Beta Band are going to capitalise on the whole Web 2.0 thing…
I’m an aussie, or I’m cheap
I just partook in a very fair-dinkum aussie meal that I’d forgotten about since moving back from melbourne: Baked Beans on Toast. Hells yes. That was tasty and cost me about 50 cents.

Making It Easy
Can I just take a moment to tell you how much I love application developers who take the time to do this sort of thing? Yes, that is Interarchy, and yes, I absolutely adore it. And no, they’re not paying me to say that.

You have to admit that the “RSS feeds solve every problem” idea may be a bit… uh… over the top, though. Please don’t turn feeds into the new…
Yikes.
My fav little guy Andrew White (my sister’s only child) is going in for surgery next wednesday. He’s only 14 months old, but his short life has been full of pain and health problems, and now they are telling us he needs to have a cyst removed. I love this lil dude to death so…
Psst.
Something very cool is in the works. Something you (yes, you) will find useful. Probably. At very least you will find it cool. I know I do. Check back later for more info. Or just more lame posts… but if you want to be on a private beta team, you best check back in.
