Dylan Hunter

Now, I’ll admit, I’ve been salivating about the potential of picking up a Powerbook/MacBook Pro for quite some time, but it’s good to see that with the exception of some rounded corners, my life won’t actually change that much! Major kudos to Hunter Kressall!

WARNING: Not suitable for the kidlings!

I knew I should have gone to this session from Alexis @ Reddit, (hey, he definitely earned the linklove on that one!) - but I think he stole my material!

Ok, was in the mood for a good chuckle, so decided to poke around on YouTube a bit, came across the AskaNinja videos, and couldn’t stop laughing!

Ask A Ninja Question 18 "Minjas"

Then go check out AskaNinja.com for more - they’re awesome!

BTW - putting back on the marketing hat - I can’t stress enough how valuable it is to make some part of your product portable away from your site as YouTube’s done above.*1* Give folks the ability to modify / color / flavor / select just what they like, so that they have ownership of some portion of what you’ve done, and they’ll be more than thrilled to take and pass along to friends, family, etc., as I’ve done above, (and loved to do! ).

*1* Unfortunately, the bit of code that YouTube put out to embed the above screws up the stock Wordpress XHTML Transitional validation, (which could screw up search engines). Luckily, in the case of embedding Flash, since there really isn’t a good way to do without breaking validation or inserting javascript, I’m sure the SE’s simply ignore anything in <object> tags, so think you should still be good.

What more can I say - Absolute Genius!

A very cute tongue-in-cheek look at interface design for all of us who are hopefully building out sites to make us all ludicrously wealthy, (or, in my case, still digesting the stupid Ruby books - nice language, Rails looks to be an excellent framework, but still would prefer that magic code wand! ).

Overheard from one teenager to another on her way out from Panera:

Teen 1: “You going to the game tomorrow?”

Teen 2: “Duh!”

(Teen 1 nods, turns and heads off…)

Makes me feel all warm and cozy inside….

Came across this site while working on a revised company name, (a nice, mindless activity for the day before Thanksgiving! ) have been laughing solidly for the better part of a half an hour, and the scroller is still only about 10% down the page!
