This is just disgusting. Comcast is being investigated by the FCC for blocking some internet traffic. To prevent critics from attending an open hearing, they bused in a bunch of seat warmers. You can read about it here.

I’m probably the last person who cares to actually find out about this, but last night Apple dropped the price on the 8GB iPhone from $599 to $399! And they added new touch iPods that are basically the iPhone without the phone (but with the web features and apps) that start at $299.

I’ve recently come across a wealth of icons from various sources. At first I thought “I’ll keep all these to myself so I can impress my designer friends,” but then I thought “what else am I going to blog about?” So I decided to share them. Besides, sharing is cool too — just ask the creators of all these amazing icons…

Lately I’ve been coming across a lot of really cool stuff on the web via a variety of sources. The most recent of which has been Digg. I had heard about Digg for years but a system to rank popular news stories just didn’t interest me that much. I finally took a look at the site and I was an immediate convert. The design category is fantastic.

Are you a designer? Do you have clients? Are they in love with their logo to the detriment of anything you try to design for them? Then this song is for you: Make the Logo Bigger presumably by Burnback (song and links courtesy of today’s Compiler Blog).

I’ve been meaning to simplify my work / life by creating some classes that I can use to streamline a lot of the projects that I work on. I found myself with some time this week and finally took a small step in that direction by creating a pagination class. Up until now I’ve used a function that I wrote way back when for paging. It was clunky, kludgy, and limited. I looked around at what was available online and what I found was, for the most part, clunky, kludgy, and limited.

Today is Ashton’s one month birthday. He’s changed so much in a month. He’s grown. He’s gained weight. He’s lost hair. And he is curious about the world. Looking back over the last month, it breaks down pretty much like this:

Way overdue but we just uploaded another 20 photos of Ashton to Flickr. The photos are all fullsize 2288 x 1712px. They make great 4×6 prints and should make decent 8×10s too (if anybody is interested). This kid’s gonna be famous…

I know it’s Sunday only because the clock on my computer is telling me it’s Sunday. Things have gone pretty much as we expected them to. We took “Child Preparedness” classes and spent the last month or so watching A Baby Story and Bringing Home Baby on TLC. And we weren’t completely clueless to begin with.
