Airbag logo contest winner
The winner of Ledger Paper logo contest over at Airbag contest has been announced and I have to say I really like the new logo as well as the runner ups. The original contest announcement sparked a lot of pretentious discussion about the value of design.

Automation will kill us all
Why should we hire designers when we can just use automated programs to make our own logos?
Because the stuff they make blows.

Some really funny stuff in the comments.
Use the Unsharp Mask filter
Good tip that I will now use often. Keeps image detail high when resizing a large image to a smaller size.

Justwatchthesky redesigns/reinvents
One of Christina and mine's favorite sites has redesigned. Not only has Ryan changed the look, but he's also going to turn the site from weblog into portfolio. Sounds like he's still be blogging from somewhere new soon though.
In the meantime, check out this slideshow of his puppy Gabby.

Six Apart Redesign Coming
It seems Six Apart is about to release a redesign on us. Looks pretty cool from the tiny preview Mena let us see. Looks much nicer and less like the weblog that it is. The interesting part to me is that the whole thing is MT powered and they're going to write up case studies on how they did it. I really need to get down and so some PHP work on this site, could really make some stuff work much more smoothly.

Scrivs sold the CSSVault
Scrivs sold the CSSVault for $XX,XXX
, I hope things over there stay as it's a hell of a CSS-based design resource. I imagine he got out a good time though, as Stylegala, CSS Beauty, and unmatched <style> are all good sites with the exact same concept.

456 Berea Street
456 Berea Street is Roger Johansson's personal site. It's one of the better sites out there for tips and actual code on how to do cool things with web standards and CSS. His article on inverted tabs is the source of inspiration for my tabbed menu in V3 of this site.
Just a great source of information and discussion.
Basecamp Project Management
An amazing piece of software. I have heard people (including the creators) talking about Basecamp for a long time now, but I had never noticed there was a free version before. The free version only lets you manage one project at a time, but otherwise it's the full blown app.
Basecamp lets you track a project's major milestons, create to-do lists, send messages, share files, and pretty much everything else you could think of. You even get a unique URL where everyone related to the project can interact and work together.

Does sIFR suck?
I think it's pretty damn cool personally, but obviously I don't know a damn thing. He's actually saying that Flash sucks and text on the Web still sucks, despite the issue or two sIFR solves.
Good discussion follows in the comments.

Turning a list into a navigation bar
Nice write up of how to take an unordered list and turn it into a navigation bar. Pretty simple but there is some stuff in there that's also pretty easy to forget.
