This pretty much sums up my feelings on the new...
“…It was garbage. If you’re going to make a ridiculous movie about aliens, don’t do it with a successful franchise whose roots are deeply entrenched in religious mysticism. And while you’re at it, don’t write absurd dialogue that no human (even in the 1950’s) would ever utter. Mutt swinging from vines with the monkeys to get back in the duck? Seriously?...

– Why Zappos Pays New Employees to Quit—And You Should Too I love it.
The aforementioned article is great, by the way. I think the author makes some fabulous points.

This is really pretty cool. SUPER simple, but it does exactly what stupid sites like Evite do, without all the, well, stupidness.
“On the one hand, vegetarianism is healthy and humane. On the other hand, bacon.”
– Gruber. I couldn’t have said it better. Good bacon is one of the most amazing flavors in the world. Almost ANYTHING tastes better with bacon.
Out of Gas
Watching a fascinating special on CNN called “Out of Gas”. It’s a teensy bit sensationalistic, but not that bad at all. It talks about what could happen if there was a sudden spike in oil prices, and the impact on the world’s economies. Truly scary stuff. I mean, what would YOU do if gas suddenly jumped to $6, $7, $8 a gallon? If there was a random hurricane, terrorist...

Adobe Fireworks →
zachklein: I’m officially adopting Fireworks over Photoshop for website prototyping because of one particular feature. Like Flash, with Fireworks you can create a ‘symbol’, let’s say a thumbnail border, and place multiple instances of that thumbnail border on a page. If later I decide to change the color of the border, I can simply edit the master symbol and the change would filter down to all...

Gmail Email Addresses = Weird...and Cool.
I just learned that: Insert one or several dots (“.”) anywhere in your email address. Gmail doesn’t recognize periods as characters in addresses — we just ignore them. For example, you could tell people your address was hikingfan@gmail.com, hiking.fan@gmail.com or hi.kin.g.fan@gmail.com. (We understand that there has been some confusion about this in the past, but to settle...
He’s so right.

Sleep deprivation is not a badge of honor →
A fantastic article on sleep by David Heinemeier Hansson at 37Signals. I can’t agree more. (Although, sadly, I don’t follow my own good logic much of the time!) I’m determined though to start sleeping more. I just feel better in every possible way when I do.
Aaron Farley - Kuwait
rubinrecommends: Aaron Farley (one of my favorite photographers) just visited Kuwait for the Myspace concert “Operation Myspace.” Here’s his wrap up and photos from the event. Also check out his site at aaronfarley.com So funny how small the world is these days… I spent a good chunk of my childhood running around with Aaron and his brother Jason in the back woods behind their house on...
