Celebrate water (and posters). (09/28)

Museum of Transportation photo set, via Annie in Baltimore. (09/28)

Museum Day. I like that idea. (09/28)

Transparent Borders

I have had the unfortunate task of styling a template with very limited control over the structure. This is usually not a huge problem, but the navigation has plagued me. I'm using a Son of Suckerfish dropdown menu system, which I've then had to use border-top and border-bottom for perfect alignment.

Interesting graphic comparing classic film credits (Casablanca) with modern day (Lord of the Rings). This can't be due strictly because of special fx? (09/27)

Super duper article on sources to order paper samples. Paper, paper, paper! (09/27)

Brilliant donation card to help a child in need. (09/27)

Annie Vought's Papercuts. Me love shadows. (09/27)

Barry Bonds = asterik (09/27)

Harvard hacked. Good to know our most brilliant minds have their priorities straight. (09/27)

CompressorRater. So many javascript compressors, so little time. But which one's the best? (09/27)

John Henry, owner of the Boston Red Sox, to tear down $16m home. Former owner of the Florida Marlins, and he hasn't changed much. Still a tool. (09/27)

Show Me the Path

That was fun. I'll be the first to admit I do not consider myself a programmer when it comes to setting up platforms like Movabletype or Drupal, which lately I've found to be completely engrossed. It's taught me many new things, not the least of which is patience.

How do you change the perfect Olympic logo? Almost perfectly. (09/24)

Evil Bee. Love the music. (09/24)

Toast Concept. Not bad...for Flash! (09/24)

I think we've all seen bullets flying through random objects, but we can always see more. They're all pretty fascinating. (09/24)

Aquarium settings. Beautiful. (09/24)

Michael Bierut shares his student portfolio. I'm jealous. Love his grid-inspired work. And the gorilla! (09/21)

Hot stamping. Party like it's 1899. (09/21)

Grand Canyon ad, 1938. (09/20)

Alphabet poster. What a great gift from a designer parent. (09/20)

Panoramic views of the world. So where are you? (09/20)

50 design manifestos. I won't blame you if you don't read them all. I got up to 40 and called it quits. (09/20)

Internet celebrity song. Wow, the Internet has really done wonders for our world. [thisisthat] (09/20)

Another new Photoshop identity? From Piss to Crap. Actually, I quite liked the new/old brand. This, however, sucks. (09/20)

Allsopp's Arctic Ale. Might not be ready for drinking quite yet... (09/19)

What is graphic design? As told by a window. (09/19)

Y0ung-Hae Change Heavy Industries presents Flash poetry. Become engrossed. (09/19)

Debit or credit? In case you ever wondered if one is better. Bottom line, spend less. (09/19)

Well, time to move. (09/19)

Stripemania. Create your own striped backgrounds! Well, I'm not a huge fan of stripes... but hey, it's still rather neat. (09/18)

Jquery UI. New user interface for adding effects to your site without the need of Flash. I fall in love with Jquery more and more each day. (09/18)

Fffound. Besides the stuttering URL, great site for finding and sharing images. Just images. Which is all I need each morning. Yay! (09/18)

Even though it's been reporting lots, lets give a hand to Shaun for styling file inputs. he hath slaughtered the beast. (09/18)

HomeHero. Design that matters? How about design that saves? (09/18)

One of the coolest churches I've ever seen. Anyone up for Sunday mass? (09/18)

100 Best Typefaces. May have seen this before, but worth reporting again. Of course Helvetica ranks numero uno. Helvetica is Michael Jackson's Thriller. It's untouchable. (09/18)

SimpelLamp. It's...just...simple! (09/18)

Studying a geometric identity. Probably my favorite kind. Breaking down a graphic into shapes and angles is quite possibly the most difficult, and more rewarding, process a designer can go through. (09/18)

Death Valley, panoramic. (09/18)

Serious Fun. An exhibition Marc was involved in. (09/17)

I'll probably get my ass kicked in a dark alley by a gang of designers for this, but what's more important - an iPhone/owning superb design, or saving up to 1.6% of your yearly income? That's a tough one. (09/14)

Poetry. [lined] (09/14)

Ace Jet brings it home this Friday. I fell in love with billboards like this. After the hurricanes in Florida (early 2000's), many billboards looked like these. Boy, I had a field day. (09/14)

Moment of Impact. Wow. (09/13)

Studying terrorist logos. Get the impression they all try to express a need for freedom? Interesting... [kottke & thisisthat] (09/13)

Play with Cyclops. (09/13)

Lost Found Art. Check out the ray guns! (09/13)

Political or not, this is a fine, fine poster. (09/13)

My new favorite ad. Having, um, fun with musical notes. (09/13)

Paypal re-brands. If that's what you want to call it...personally, I call it pointless. (09/13)

Hand-Written Letter Project. What happens when you ask some fairly talented designers to write up letters? (09/13)

The Promotion of Failure. Be angry. Be very, very fucking angry. (09/13)

30 undocumented Photoshop tips. You can never have too many. (09/12)

Bills' Everett moves limbs. Now that's the kind of news worth reporting. (09/12)

Built In America. Brought to us by the Library of Congress. American architecture at its finest. Biased, personal favorite? The Century Hotel on Miami Beach. (09/12)

Earthlink sucks. I have no pre-existing hatred for the company, but damn this is some pathetic, funny stuff. (09/11)

Burble London. Holy helium balloons, Batman. (09/11)

Making of The Chemical Brothers' latest single, The Salmon Dance. Love the blowfish! (09/11)

Companies don't really enjoy negative reviews on the Internet. Sooo, let's get rid of them! (09/11)

Usage of Gotham, one of my favorite typefaces. (09/10)

London Transport Musuem's entire poster collection online. And God bless them for it! (09/10)

Abstracts. Amazing closeups of merging liquids. Makes you like science a little bit more, huh? [thisisthat] (09/10)

Monsters on bikes! Life is good when there are monsters on bikes. The illustrations of Philip Newsom. [notcot] (09/10)

An interview with Jonathan Harris, creator of We Feel Fine, Universe, and Lovelines. I first saw We Feel Fine, and was blown away by the idea that we could harness so many people's emotions graphically. Made me love the Internet that much more. (09/10)

Sterography. [notcot] (09/10)

Munich '72. (09/10)

The Seven Wonders of the World (+ a few), in glorious panoramic view. (09/07)

13 steps to buying a car. Great list, because car salesmen are generally slimey (well it's true). (09/07)

Bark! For wood. (09/07)

Railroad type. I've realized recently how much I love everything related to old railroads. Don't know why, but I do. (09/07)

With a new IKEA store (finally) opening in Orlando, hacking IKEA seems appropriate. (09/07)

Birthday card for a copywriter. What's with writers anyway? (09/07)

The BAM railway project. Almost as ambitious as a tax-funded war on terrorism. (09/07)

Don't be afraid to be beautiful. Intelligence is, like, overrated, and stuff. (09/06)

Hiding an airplane manufacturing plant during WWII. Ah, the good ol' days, when paranoia ran rampant. (09/06)

If I'm going to lend money, I'd rather do it for someone who needs it. (09/06)

Finally, a space port! To go right along with my hover board, jet pack, and holographic tv! (09/06)

Hello, it's The End. (09/06)

In case you missed it (I did), how to set correct dimensions for iPhone view. [tim] (09/05)

Radio Zen. Horizontal scrolling goodness. Love the radio bar along the top. (09/05)

Scientology in trouble in Belgium. The unlawful kind, that is. Oopsy, did we get caught? (09/05)

Radical Honesty. Surely it would our very system crumble to the ground. (09/05)

Ding dong. (09/05)

Nice summary of art found on the back of American currency bills. Check out the 10k bill. (09/05)

George Carlin tells it like it is in America. Sad, but true. Even more sad, this is why he'd never make a good politician: too fucking honest. (09/05)

Getty Images is cracking down on image usage in portfolios. Apparently their images are not licensed to be used in said forms. My, my, I better look through mine. Don't want to get sued by such lovely folk. [tim] (09/04)

The first photograph ever take, circa 1826. Anyone else getting a weird inbalance vibe from it? (09/04)

Hip hop violin. (09/03)

Drains of Canada. My God, the photography is amazing. [line] (09/03)
