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. Useful, especially since I’m freelancing again. Oh yeah, I’m in the process of designing three new sites: Jessica White Photography, magneticcandy (initial…
The Myth of Auto-Complete
As a designer who also happens to do a lot of front-end dev work, I’m well-versed in text editors and IDE. I’ve been writing web-related markup/code/whatever since I was in high school (the better part of a decade ago), and if there is something I miss from my favourite editor from days gone by (Homesite,…
Short Supply
We live in an age where capital is plentiful, labor is available but talent is in short supply. And true design talent is in very short supply. —Bruce Nussbaum I read things like this and start thinking I’m drastically underpaid…
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.

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.
Smart Ass Remark of the Day
This “mike tyson punching dubya” flash ad is brilliant… i could watch Tyson punch Bush all day long…” —Me, in an IM chat with a co-worker today The sad thing is they actually want you to click the ad to make Bush fight back… but you’re too mesmerised to do anything at all, and thus…
I love the dictionary.
The thought occured to me today on how the dictionary (and the built-in dictionary functionality in Mac OS X, in particular) has really improved my vocabulary. Not so much in the realm of expansion, per se, but more so in my understanding. For example, how many times do we find ourselves using a term, and…
