Check out this sweet concept for a new OS GUI, bringing familiar real-world concepts to your virtual desktop. I am very impressed with it beauty and functionality, but think it’d probably require a bit of a learning curve and much time getting used to such an odd way to see things after years of looking at such OS’s as Apple’s and that other (evil) company. Right. Kinda interesting to think that at some point our ‘virtual’ ways become more realty than our real ‘reality.’ Hmm… does that make sense? Another words, even though we’re all so used to real desktops and filing them with crap, staplers, those goofy lil items you get as stocking-stuffers, junk mail, etc.; our virtual desktops just become an extension of that, in a very 2D way. I personally find it easier to organize in 2D, if you saw my desk you’d know what I mean! Anyway, check out the site: BumpTop Prototype

So, anyone notice the Del.icio.us tags or my Flickr photo badge? Sweet huh? Want one? TOO BAD! Ok ok, just kidding. Here’s whatcha do. Go to Del.icio.us and create an account. Then you can start adding bookmarks, and add tags to them. That will create a Tag Cloud, which you can create a custom cloud like mine by going to their help section on tags at: Del.icio.us Blog Integrations
For Flickr, I’m not sure if you need an account, but you can get a badge tagged with anything you’d like (i.e. typography for mine, but could be harmonica, music, love, etc.) at Flickr: Make a Badge Fun stuff! You can customize it like I did as well, if you know a lil css/html.
Oh, speaking of, I used the plain black template for my site, and tweaked it to hide things, and add a header. I also changed some colors and added some borders. I usually copy the whole template and paste it into a new HTML doc in Dreamweaver 8 (MX 2004 should have decent CSS support, anything before that ain’t that great), and just manipulate some of the code to my liking. I don’t touch any of the automatic stuff in the HTML, just the look and feel of the site. The templates Blogger has to me seem to be very clean and great to work with. Ok, nuff geek speak. Have a good night!

Amusing caption to go with: Behold Tall Mode! (Alpaca sold separately.)
This is from the new Honda Fit. Small car, but have some great options for space conversion inside. I love these new little cars, not amazingly sexy or anything, but fuel efficient and full of good features. Nice to see you can get something for your money. Not to mention with gas prices so bad, these cars can pack a punch with less bucks. I dig! Toyota’s Yaris is cool too, I think it’s a little sexier but smaller.

Amidst my boredum and cracked out tiredness, I’ve been working on the design of this blog yet again. New headr, much more my style, and it unifies all the pieces nicely. It’s not like my design at work, since I don’t have to deal with the coding there… I tend to limit myself more since I use this to get my CSS skills up to snuff. Anyway, nothing to blab about tonight. Goodnight!

The academy and my family, my lovely girlfriend even though we didn’t know each other then, Trent Reznor for his cool-looking CD covers that got me interested in design, Digby’s coffee for getting me through the 1AM late nighters during June ‘05, my peeps at AOL, and Matchless in Brooklyn for all the beers that were needed after 80 hour weeks! YES! THIS IS A REAL EMMY FOR LIVE 8! And yes, 5 million people saw my design work that fateful day on July 2nd, 2005. I’d say it was worth it, you?!
