Handbell hero. Wow, I suck. (12/21)

Sonet loves yellow and red. (12/21)

Feist concert poster. (12/21)

Christmas kiss. Apparently it's a happy Christmas every day for most dogs. (12/21)

IE8 passes ACID2 test. Well then, no room for anti-Microsoft jokes. This is a good thing. (12/20)

Duelity. Bust open some popcorn and watch two theories fuse together. Perhaps God's saying: "Well look at that. They're finally on to something." (12/20)

Michael J. Fox interviewed by Esquire. "It started the summer before last summer, when the president vetoed the first Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. He had these families around him, these “snowflake babies,” which presented it like it was an either/or situation and the two were mutually exclusive. It was just such manipulation, and it just pissed me off so much." (12/19)

Eyes. Individuality at its finest. (12/19)

Book autopsies. Amazing. [jer] (12/18)

Events from the Bible from God's point of view (aka, fun with Google Earth!) [johanna] (12/18)

About the most unique recycle logo I've seen. (12/18)

We Bleed Design really knows how to utilize position:fixed, backgrounds, transparencies, and color. Fun stuff. (12/18)

Folks, this Christmas remember one thing. (12/17)

Enjoy life. (12/17)

Have you signed up for Opt-out? Free service by the three major credit bureaus. (12/17)

It must be trailer day. My Name is Bruce is finally up. Being a Bruce fanatic, I'm looking forward to this one. Unfortunately it has low-budget written all over it. Never stopped him before! (12/17)

The Dark Knight trailer. While I'll always love Nicholson's Joker best, I'm starting to get the feeling Ledger's will be a handful. Great laugh! (12/17)

Fingerprint type. (12/14)

The House finally passes a ban on waterboarding. It only took 30 generals' opinions. Jesus Christ, how far up our own asses are we? (12/14)

How does the CEO of Disney conduct his day? Well, he's up by 4:30 a.m. for starters. (12/12)

Let's Say Thanks. The site is designed so poorly I almost have a hard time believing Xerox is behind it. Regardless, wonderful idea. Hope you sign one. (12/11)

Okay. Worst title ever - "Most Recalled Meat Is Eaten, Never Recovered." Um, fucking ew? (12/10)

Equating our energy policies to the salve trade. Think about it today. (12/07)

The argument that Netflix could design a better DVD mailer and save the Postal Service millions. (12/07)

McDooDoo's advertises in report cards. Okay, I might be the only one that doesn't have a problem with this. What kid wouldn't be tempted to do better in school for the chance at a Happy Meal? It still comes down to the parents not force-feeding their kids fast food for every meal. A small reward for doing well is harmless. (12/07)

Oh, Christmas Tree

Christmas is a wonderful time. It also bears down on us with little time for enjoyment! At least this year. Every so often I stop to smell the pine, and a week has gone by. It's still the first week in December, but I'm already biting my nails.

Don't give out your Social Security number. We all do it mindlessly these days. (12/07)

Coolest desk clock ever. Ever. The noise might annoy people though. (12/06)

Pac-man Christmas tree. Okay I've officially seen it all. (12/06)

Bug Art. Sounds icky, looks amazing. I love the idea of art from nature. Well, bugs, in this case. I especially love Sunrise by a hissing cockroach. Yeah, I just said that. (12/06)

Lucero Austin. (12/05)

How to block Facebook's Beacon. Privacy is still king. This ain't big brother. More like annoying cousin twice removed. (12/05)

Yay

Can someone please sing me the bum bum song? (12/05)

Dave Chappelle breaks comedy endurance record. Six hours?! Christ, I can't hold humor for thirty seconds. (12/04)

A recap of the evolution of Facebook's Beacon ad design system. Trying to clear the lanes in a dubious ad system. Seems a little to evasive, regardless of how clearly you see the X. (12/04)

Home Is Where the Hub Is. (12/04)

Gym. This is the kind of place I'd want to work out in. Probably no A/C, 30-year-old weights, and some cussing. (12/04)

Promote frugality and green-sense this Christmas. (12/04)

How does Aesthetic Apparatus do it? (12/04)

Rage against this machine? (12/04)

Give them a hand! [jer] (12/04)

Dinosaur found with skin, muscles, and (possibly) organs intact. I agree with the paleontologist's reaction: "Shiiiiiit." (12/03)

Superb article on HTML Emails done the right way. Think much inline styling. On a side note, did you know there's an Email Standards group? Much needed. (12/03)

Loft & Found. Ace Jet finds some beautiful photos in his new loft. Lucky guy. (12/03)

The New Museum and Calvin Klein have fun with paint. Brilliant. (12/03)

Swedish record sleeve. Love this, don't know why! (12/03)

Ryan Fowler photography. The Citgo photo inspires me. (12/03)

Congress strikes deal to match China's fuel efficiency by 2020. Somehow I think we could do much, much better than that. (12/03)
