Social Network Creep
If you're intrigued, as I am, by the trailer for David Fincher's upcoming The Social Network, and if part of what compels you about the trailer is the musical score—a choral version of Radiohead's "Creep"—you'll be happy to know you can purchase said song via emusic.com: On The Rocks is the album, "Creep" is the track, and Scala, a Belgian all-teenage-girl choir, are the artists. Highly recommended.

Most of us who design websites begin every project with bits and pieces of this kind of code, but developer Tim Murtaugh, who created these files and who...

Return to Sender
About 40 copies of HTML5 For Web Designers out of the first 10,000 sold have been returned to us because the recipients moved, or there was an error in their address.
Returns come from every continent on the globe. Japanese returns are quietly beautiful. French returns are vaguely contemptuous.

Color logos
Gosh knows how they reproduce in newspaper or how effectively they can be translated into favicons, but there's no denying that there are some lovely works in Wsblogz.com's gallery of color logos.
