man, tech report’s comments on hardware prices is dead on hilarious. of course, none of this applies to apple people. ;P
gateway’s selling a system w/ a 41.3ghz processor at a song.
in case you missed it, mozilla 0.8 is out. oh, be sure to take a look at this bug. i think it’s interesting to note that recently, builds have been shrinking. daily builds of win32 mozilla got as big as 14-15mb for a while, but now (along w/ 0.8) are hovering around the 10mb size.
looks good, is pretty stable, still has the bookmark sidebar rightclick bug (won’t be fixed until 0.9, but i was hoping…) … context menus are good. if you could use a context menu to switch image blocking (off and on), animated gif, popup, and js options, life would be sweet.
on a totally different note, there’s a thread on sijun’s digital art forums that points to older threads of advice. sorta one band aid way of dealing with management of data… big concern of mine for the past while. of course, i’ve been really lagging in my implementation of my junk organizer tool. i should really create a project plan for that… hmm. i’ve said this before.
nothing like ms vs open source to draw the /. crowd outta the woodwork. most messages i’ve seen in a looong time. haven’t seen overload mode in a while either…

time for some hearings to drive out the pinkos! lol.
that’s a good question. why does the razorfish redesign resemble the marchfirst design so much? (well, we probably already know the answer to that, don’t we?) the mefi thread turns into funny bitchslap commentary about half-way through. reads like the vault. 😉
even a year later, sapient’s site is still one of the best web/creative consulting firm websites i’ve seen. love 37signals’ site still as well.
since i’m constantly going back and searching for it: [H]ard|Forum – Keyboard Mod – Part 2 – this is the link to the lit neon blue keyboard. it’s really cool, and if i had the money i’d go to streetglow.com and pick up some hotwirez. the site also has expensive looms and ties.
staples mailed me two pens in a 13x10x4″ box.
actually, this whole USGS Visual Identity Project History and Design Issues site is great. tons of really good articles. plus, the home page links to other stuff, like stock photography online and all that jazz.
