Music Discovery on the Desktop [TheSixtyOne, Fluid]
Apr 21, 2009 Creative, Design, Music of the Moment, Technology
TheSixtyOne is an excellent music discovery site with some rpg style leveling up, but like all internet radio I often close the browser accidentally and lose my music stream. Fluid to the rescue!
Fluid lets you have a dedicated browser (for web apps) that is isolated from the rest of the browsers and acts like a desktop application. To make it complete I created an icon specifically for TheSixtyOne and I thought I post it for anyone else. Sorry PC, Fluid is Mac/Universal only.
Download the icon and AI files here.
Here is one of my favorite songs I found using TheSixtyOne

Web Designer Wall Top 50
Dec 5, 2008 Creative, Web Development
I love Web Designer Wall; it is a great place to see some good site design.
Today they released the Best of CSS Design 2008. It contains some amazing sites. I spent a good bit going through them and bookmarking a lot for future reference.
Interestingly enough they also picked a site that was recently released by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS Church). The site is specifically designed to focus on the life and ministry of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Being LDS myself I did a bit of a double take when I saw it. Something like worlds colliding, but congratulations to whoever designed it. Looks good.

Best Blank Cards Ever
Nov 29, 2008 Creative, Design, Uncategorized
Blank cards usually seem to me like someone just gave up half way through, but with The ____ Cards it is a great way to inspire some creativity.
The only downside I can see is that you will have a bunch of annoying little dots of paper around after you create your perfect card.

30onMAX Video
Nov 4, 2008 Creative
So I finally finished my 30onMAX video. I drew most of it in Illustrator CS4 using the new Blob brush.
It is my first official After Effects project. I would have done more, but the deadline was today, still I’m pretty happy with it, and happy it’s done.
