There are now 16 random backgrounds. All of the Asian girls came from Usenet, if you were wondering. In the about section, there is a button to switch to a new image. View them all! :P Most were done quite hastily, sorry.
I looked at this site on the iMac at work, and it looks like shit. Never realized how horrible IE5.0 for Mac was. It’s very different than it’s
Windows counterpart. I need to fix that. I added extra warnings for the Mac IE folks.

Thanks to Sticking Out Tongues for linking me.

In addition to the Dilbert cube, IDEO also made a chocolate covered cherry. Check out the Identity Card Project (linked on the home page). And this thing looks more comfortable than the Aeron chair.

It’s TV’s Wil Wheaton!

Allergies + no more pop tarts + Mr. Rogers calling it quits. What a foul day it’s turning in to. (I never liked him anyway)

REFORMAT COMPLETE
New version, featuring a pain in the ass interface. Read the how to use (double click the “How” icon to the right) if you get stuck. Five random background images currently. I need to work on these. Just reload to see a new one. Also, I’m still having Mac problems, so I just turned all dragging off – that should fix it. Comments?

I really like Bland Consulting’s site. Oh my god! This is sooo sweet! Brittle-Bones (link from Pixel Surgeon). Josh Chuan has a nice portfolio. From Praystation, Levitated.

Wonderful little athiest commentary about the death of a recent R&B star. If you beleive in G(g)od(s) you’ll be offended. Article by my friend Debbie, who is also the president of UNCC’s free thought society.

Thanks to Karen at Design is Kinky for linking Kheavy!

Jonathan Yuen’s elegant site with nice Bryce work. If you haven’t seen it before, his Memoirs from Hijiyama is beathtaking.
Netzministerium: another design portal.

Pitfalls of editing clip art for marketing: The Register has a shot of a peice of Windows XP marketing material that shows a Mac (pre G3) running WinXP. I though such sillyness was reserved for BestBuy Sunday sales papers.

MS released Internet Explorer 6 and 5.5 service pack 2 early this week.

I’m going to make the test version I’ve been talking about Mode 13 version 5. I’m working on compatability, usability and cosmetic enhancements.

Check out this new interface for the site. Comments?

Thanks to Gecko9 for linking Kheavy.
T0rbj0rn … wow. I’ve blogged this guy before, but he’s got some NICE new Shockwave do dads up.

Blood: The Last Vampire. Awesome. Watch the trailer.

Yeah, think she found out. New cartoons vs. the cassics.
Good photos. Usability Blog.
Virtual Bush. Now that is awesome!

<rant> Why the hell do people bitch about sites that don’t work in a 3 year old browser? Especially when that browser still has the same cripling bugs that it was released with even though it has been updated several times?! Guess it takes that many updates to get a “Shop” button (html editor, newsreader, email, etc.) to work. I don’t complain that Black and White doesn’t work on my Pentium 200mhz MMX. Or Quake. Upgrade or deal with ancient shit and less featured sites! And it’s not because people can’t code for Netscape 4, it’s just not worth making an entirely different version of a site using layer tags and an entirely different event model for a dead browser.</rant> Feh!

Do you have the AOL.EXE virus? Actually, that is more of a truism than a virus hoax.

Threedee. Stolen from the *portals so I can remember them: Soloflow. Infourm. Gridplane. All of this explody-3d-chaos-mess is really cool and all, but when will it end?!! It must be the gunge for the next millennium.
I just love a well designed corporate site.

I’m playing with a few new interface ideas. This one was actually my first idea instead of this (current) version.

Wow, TechTV is gaining respect. The Screen Savers just recommended an AMD Athon 1.4ghz over a P4 2ghz.

Added 5 new songs the media list.
American History X is on TBS right now. I had no idea the word “freakin'” was said so many times. They should show movies like this unedited with no commercials. It would be a social service.

9031 is really nice. Pretty: M-sab, Probe3 (I like the splash better than the rest of the site) and DBT.

Why Google won the search engine wars. Coke: $1.95. Water: $1.95.

A while back, Megatokyo asked for guest comics to be done. Now they have them all online. There are some good ones. Also, enjoy reading Leisure Town.

Mmmm … breakfast. Intentional.TV is a nice photo portfolio site. PodLob is pretty cool also. Photos + flash stuff. Courtesy Yewknee.
Nooflat. Tnop. TwenTe.

Here is some 3rd nipple body peircing to get you going in the morning! Kinda sick actually.

Site code updates! The photo section now scales to handle vertical images … hope this isn’t too much jumping around.
Does anyone want me to put this drag window script up for download? If anyone asks for it, I’ll add it.

I’m sure you’ve all heard that Brazil is going to break a patent and make an AIDS drug. There is a nice discussion on this at Slashdot. Also from /., How can the same educational system produce scientific elites and illiterates?

This guy has some nice photography.
For some reason, I really like the interface for 4bia.net. It’s … charming. Really nice minimal protfolio from Kingsley Harris. Both of these are courtesy Surfstation.

This is a nice little battle thread on System Exlusive.
When I was at the beach, there was a restuarant that had a catch your own lobster game. Simple concept. $5 a try. Here is a picture of it.

I upgraded my laptop’s ram today. 256megs from Crucial.com: $50. 256megs from Gateway: $200.
I switched back to using Blogger.com for the blog updates. I’m tired of doing this by hand.
