EARLY BIRD

Actually got up at 5-fuckin-15 A.M. to get a sheep entry in before going to work...

Just got a great companion piece to Curt's Fresh Styles: New Masters of Photoshop. Lots of inspiration here.

Team Photoshop. Here's their tutorials. Speaking of tutorials, here's Adobe's recent web tutorials.

The end of homemade websites. From Jakob.

Navigating isn't fun. We don't want to impose navigation burdens on our readers, now do we?

Information Design A Graphic Designer's Salvation.

Personal web logs put a face on a faraway place.

I'm with Molly, What's all the ordnance supposed to accomplish?

From Dan Gillmor: Shredding the Constitution. Along those lines, ACLU 'Bitterly Disappointed' in House-Senate Joint Passage of Anti-Terrorism Legislation.

Daily California political news: Rough and Tumble.

And with that, I'm outta here.

IN THE MIDDLE OF LOVE

I'm in a twilight webzone as I wait for the NetSol database to be updated since my change in webhosts. I tried to plan this so there would be no down time for grownmencry.com and holeyhaven.com. We'll see.

BOOKS: BETTER THAN CALGON

• Just finished reading In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez. Such seamless writing.
• Reading of this book followed quickly on the heels of the back-to-back consumption of Gail Tsukiyama's Women of the Silk and The Language of Threads.
• Squoze in between for inspiration was my birthday present last month from Miz Liz: Curt's Fresh Styles for Web Designers. Yep, gobbled that one up too.
• SF Libraries ban filters.

SEPT 11: STILL HAUNTING

• A trail from Metafilter: Help build the Sept 11 Attack Archive.
• 3-d map of damage to New York City.

WEB DESIGN

• Sitemaps, Storyboards, and Specifications: A Sketch of Web Site Design Practice.
• Usability - you get what you pay for?
• A review of web based color pickers.
• Web Page Design for Designers turns five. Congrats, Joe! He points me in this direction which leads me to this neat and tidy flash-based site.

MISC

• Robbing the future?
• Twelve Days of Blogging
• Around the World in 80 Clicks

Just checked and I'm still in the twilight webzone. Wish me luck.
