Do designers deserve pay?

If you’ve ever performed design or development work for someone, I’m sure you’ve been taken advantage of. So take a look at this excellent post…

Clean Image Layout

Nice article by

Harvey Kane on auto-resizing images into a magazine-like layout. A little math, a little PHP, and some CSS go a long way.

Interviews

I finally got the interviews back online. It was all static content previously, so I had to write quite a few regexp to get the content out. I’ll be adding new interviews soon. Enjoy!

Janet Jackson is dumpy

First she shows us her boob. Now her boob won’t even fit on TV. For someone who has always been so focused on her looks and physique, Janet Jackson sure has let herself go. Ugh!

Do Cell Phones Give You Cancer

How many studies do researchers need to perform on cell phones? Do they give people cancer or not? Well this time around, they are saying no. Next week it will probably be yes again.

NBA riots

If you ever watch ESPN or any sports news for that matter, you probably heard of the recent event at the Knicks and Bulls NBA matchup. Antonio Davis ran into the crowd to defend his wife. On one hand, he felt his wife was in danger and needed to protect her. On the other, he was in Chicago (enemy territory) and charged the stands. With players and fans well aware of the previous riot that occurred at the Pistons and Pacers match-up last year, Davis should have handled the situation in another manner. He could have been clobbered by rowdy fans.

What’s worse? It seems Antonio’s wife is the one who started the drama in the first place. If she has a big enough mouth to start a confrontation, she needs to grow a pair and be able to handle her own.

Dirty work

NASA’s Stardust spacecraft recently brought a capsule full of Comet dust to Earth. NASA plans to study the dirt and fragments for evidence of our solar system’s history. Playing with dirt sounds like so much fun. How can I get such a job?

Legal Music Downloads

Legal downloads of music tripled in 2005. That’s only because it’s so damn difficult to find free tunes quickly. I, for one, have decided to use allofmp3.com for my downloading needs. Although it hasn’t been deemed ‘legal’ yet, it does the trick for me. Subscription sites and record industries need to get their acts together and come up with a business plan that actually makes sense. Forget this DRM nonsense. I’m sure they’d see their numbers increase even more.

Pixar and Disney = M.O.N.E.Y

Pixar and Disney are in talks to merge. If this happens, all you iPod owners can be sure that goodies are to come. With Steve taking a spot at the helm of Disney, one can only assume that Apple will get dibbs at pushing content via the web and iTunes. I, for one, think the merger could only result in positives and look forward to some kick-ass content.

Yahoo, MSN, Google called upon

While Google fights the US Government on what is deemed an invasion of privacy, Yahoo and MSN have already forked over their list of search histories. What interns got assigned the task of reviewing those logs? It must be an exciting job sifting through records of insane search queries.

And what the hell is Google’s problem? The US Government has already stressed that they don’t want personalized data. Just the queries. Reporters are stating that this request could escalate into the gov’t wanting more and more. But I say give them the list. Hell! Even tweak the list by adding some fun terror terms. Just to spark their interest. “howto be like UBL” “how much c4 does it take, white house” “am I saddam bloodline” “barbara bush nude”
