The State of the Internet

An interesting and eye-opening video that I found on my favorite website, jess3.com Designer and purveyor of artistic brilliance Jesse Thomas, founder of JESS3, created this video for a lecture  given at the AIGA Baltimore in February 2010.

When it comes to online money making opportunities, Google tends to be the first with its hand in the cookie jar. Leading the way as a search engine icon, Google has just announced its newest endeavourer—tapping in to the music industry and launching an online music search service.

Is it what you say…or where you say it?

I’m sure you all know by now the controversy surrounding the recent emotional outbursts of  Kanye West and Serena Williams.  Not to mention South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson, and the ever lovely fits of rage from no-named reality-tv stars.  I guess that’s why VH1 and MTV aren’t so much about music videos anymore as they [...]

And the thing is, I’m not [...]

IE6 No More?

The campaign asks sites to include code that detects IE6 visitors and encourages them to upgrade to Firefox, IE8, or Google Chrome.
