ECS A890GXM-A (AMD 890GX ) review

ECS A890GXM-A (AMD 890GX motherboard) review
AMD's new 890GX chipset is merely out for what, two weeks ? This will be the third AMD 890 based motherboard review. This time around from the good folks at ECS.
The AMD 890GX based motherboard chipsets proof their strength and by all means is really fun to work and play around with. When you plant the two chips from AMD on a mainboard from ECS, they'll try to do some more stuff. It's the ECS Black series style - with a bucket load of features like integrated graphics sub-D, DVI, HDMI and display port connectors, passive cooling, 8-channel sound, dual GigE Ethernet, Crossfire ready, and pretty decent overclockabilty.
Check out the full Guru3D article here.

Sprawling across 16 acres of mountain terrain atop Wisp Resort and the 550-acre Fork Run Recreation Area forest, Adventure Sports Center International immerses thrill seekers in a range of river sports, climbing, hiking, and other outdoor programs. On the river, experienced rafting guides—some of whom are U.S. Olympians—pilot adventurers down a one-third-mile artificial whitewater river, through four classes of changeable but authentic rapids bordered by boulders excavated onsite. Those who have reached the bottom return to the starting pool on a raft conveyor belt that defies gravity better than when Newton threw apples back into the trees. In the forest preserve, visitors frolic along rugged mile-long trails on bike or on foot, or scale natural limestone boulders and ledges. Climbing guides teach basic bouldering and rappelling while keeping the ledges clear of heckling mountain goats, or send adventurers off geocaching to hunt for a container hidden somewhere on the rocks or forest floor.
As visitors explore freely, youths hone academic and social skills through outdoor adventure and learning programs where guides teach them to raft, kayak, climb, mountain bike, and hike using only their imaginations and any required gear. The center's artificial aquatic park and preserve have also hosted a range of festivals and competitions, including seven national whitewater championships and a bouldering championship.
The father-son duo of Lawrence and Michael Paper founded the first Bradley's Book in 1993. The landscape of publishing has changed significantly since then, but the Paper family hasn't had trouble keeping up. Between its 10 Pennsylvania and Ohio locations, Bradley's sells books at generous discounts. That's because 90% of the chain's inventory hails from overstock and remainders. The store's titles span numerous genres and interests, from collections by Nobel Prize-winner Alice Munro to Hillary Rodham Clinton's Hard Choices, a memoir about how she decides which newspaper to read with breakfast each morning.
The friendly tool experts at Direct Tools Factory Outlet help customers negotiate the store's huge inventory of new, reconditioned, and factory-blemished hardware from brands such as Ryobi, Homelite, and Milwaukee. Items are priced at reduced rates of up to 75%, allowing budget-conscious customers to stockpile hardware for home-improvement projects or backyard tool hills. Impress a time-traveling early hominid with a Dirt Devil Scorpion 7-amp hand vacuum ($29.99) or a factory-blemished Ryobi One+ lithium-Ion compact drill ($127.99). Spice up dinner parties with a portable table saw ($139), powered during a total blackout by a 5,000-watt Homelite generator ($499). Each product carries a warranty of at least one year, even the reconditioned items, which are only awarded warranty ribbons after undergoing a grueling routine of pushups and burpees.
Clients waiting for their appointments at Barbiere can sink into overstuffed leather chairs and catch a few minutes of sports games on TV or sip on cold beverages while they flip through newspapers. This upscale barbershop offers the expected clipper haircuts and straight-razor shaves in addition to more elaborate cuts, color, facials, and brow waxing. The barbers and stylists are welcoming and friendly, and the shop's wood-and-black decor creates a masculine and woodchuck-friendly atmosphere.
Throughout its history that spans more than 90 years, RadioShack has established itself as a leading retailer. Across its 5,000 stores in 26 countries, their 27,000 knowledgeable associates connect consumers with personalized solutions in the latest electronics. With a selection of leading national and industry-leading private brands, customers can shop for mobile devices, headphones, speakers, smart toys, DIY supplies, connected home products, power accessories, and home entertainment at any store, or online at www.radioshack.com.
The traditional farmers' market at Trax Farms, owned and operated by the Trax family since 1865, teems with an eclectic array of produce grown onsite, freshly baked goods, deli fare, and gifts amid 325 acres of fields and orchards. The owners eschew imported produce for farm-grown, seasonal vegetables and fruits, and furnish their shelves with local and international specialty foodstuffs, Sarris and Wagner's chocolates, and the farm's own brand of flavored coffee. The aroma of freshly baked seasonal pies, homemade breads, and made-from-scratch cookies tantalizes noses as the deli rolls out soups, salads, and sandwiches assembled from premium meats and cheeses. In addition to a selection of quilts, clothing, and jewelry, the shop boasts wines, including award-winning Arrowhead Wine Cellar varietals. Furthering its homey, community-centered approach, the farm hosts flea markets, festivals, and special events, such as its autumnal hayride, which entices young visitors and scarecrows with thinning scalps.

Mac Genius Interview
I applied online – interviewed at Apple.
Overall the interview process is fairly straight forward, you are first called in for a group interview and then from there you may have up to five one-on-one interviews. I recently finished the group interview which had around 20 applicants. It started by having each applicant introduce themselves including their background and what they're passionate about. From there they show several videos about what it's like to work for Apple and after each there's a discussion on things that you noticed from the video and how service from Apple is different from other retail stores. Next they split us up into two groups and they had us pass around an iPad with different interview questions that we answer in front of the entire group. Expect four interview questions each and then one group question which is basically asking why you would make a good Apple employee. Finally they allow for any questions that you have and then you're finished.
- There wasn't one question in particular, but most of the interview questions are extremely customer service based so if you don't have mush experience in that field then you may struggle. Answer Question

The interview generally consists of determining a personality type more than testing for skills. As long as you have a generally good way with people and a solid head on your shoulders, you should be fine. Be a team player. Each interview is with a manager of higher and higher caliber.Interview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Apple.Interview Details
Process was a little disorganized on Apple's end. After a phone interview with a recruiter, I went to the group interview at Apple's sales office that has been described by others. I then spoke with four Store Managers and met in person with an Apple recruiter and three Store Managers in several interviews.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Apple.Interview Details
Interview process is long and arduous it consists of 3 rounds the first one being a group interview, second being initial manager interview, and third being regional manager interview. It is an extremely difficult process especially given the fact that people are always look over at you to make sure you are not "looking" for answers in the distances. The first interview is a general introduction interview and most decent applicants get passed that and onto the second one where it becomes tough.Interview Questions

Mac Genius InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Apple.Interview Details
First, there was a hiring event, with generic "what-if" and "how did you..." questions. The next day was a panel interview with the market leader and other store leaders from the rest of the market, followed by a direct interview with the store leader for the store I'd be working with.
Following that, I had three additional interviews with the remaining members of the leadership team, which included a tech screen, to make certain that I had at least a modicum of understanding of basic computer concepts. I did "ok."
After hiring, I was informed that I was the first person in 4 or 5 years to be directly hired into this position at this store, so while it would be hypocritical of me to say, "Don't bother attempting to be hired directly into the Genius position," I will say that it doesn't happen often and had not occurred in the two years that I was with the company.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThere are no negotiations with Apple. Well, let me rephrase that: based on what I had read of the negotiation process, I did not bother negotiating, as it was pretty clear that this was the offer and that is that. I did give a range of wages that I was willing to accept and the offer was above the minimum, although just barely.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- It's been quite some time, so I can't recall specific questions, but I'll say that it is incredibly important to have experience with situations where you've needed to manage your time, work in difficult scenarios, overcome adversity with team members, and prepare answers for ways in which you handled those scenarios.

They are looking for a "type." Since I was 30 years older than most everyone else I felt a bit out of place. They began by showing a film about the greatness of Apple. One too many location shots in China.
Then they asked the stupidest question... "What pet would you be and what is your name?" They just wanted to see who was rude enough to interrupt others.
Then they took us down into six groups of four and asked us to explain our last act of giving. I wasn't prepared for such a personal question.Interview Questions

This is a Divisional application which claims the benefit of application Ser. No. 11/031,435, filed Jan. 7, 2005 (now U.S. Pat. No. 7,390,735).
This invention was made with Government support under Contract F33615-02-2-2230 awarded by the U.S. Air Force, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The Government has certain rights in this invention.
This application is directed to a method of forming high-temperature resistant, mechanically robust, and low thermal and electrical resistance bonds for use in electronic devices, particularly silicon carbide or gallium nitride-based power electronics, with component attachments stable under elevated operating temperatures. The application is also directed to a method of attaching solid state light emitting devices to substrates that leads to a substantial reduction in the operating temperature and hence increases the light output.
Silicon carbide based power electronic systems offer significantly reduced size, weight and volume, a 65% volume reduction in a motor drive, for example, over other available systems. Because of the reliability of their device junctions, however, currently available SiC based electronic packages are generally limited to a junction operating temperature of less than about 150� C. These devices are typically assembled using conventional solder materials and techniques to form an electrically conductive path between metal contacts on package substrates. At higher temperatures and during temperature cycling, these soldered connections tend to be unstable, either from operation of the device or the surrounding environment in which the device operates. This causes voids and ultimately debonding in the interconnects, resulting in increased thermal resistance and unreliable operation of the electronics. Thermal resistance can be large due to thick (>1 mil) die attachments and inherently lower thermal conductivity (<40 W/m-K) of the attachment materials. Thermal resistance further increases dramatically during the life of the component due to voiding, which leads to increased device temperatures and accelerates failures. While brazing can form more reliable connections, the higher temperatures need to form the connection (700-1000� C.) can damage the components and devices being assembled. The requirements of high temperature operation, thermal and electrical conductivity, void and creep resistance, and corrosion resistance in devices with joints having low thermal resistance are often in conflict with each other when solder, binary compositions, or brazing materials are used.
TLP bonding can also be used to improve the performance of light-emitting devices. It lowers the device operating temperature due to lower thermal resistance of the bond, resulting in increased light output. It also results in increased mechanical robustness and maintenance of light output through the operating lifetime of the device due to minimal bond degradation during thermal and power cycling and extended operation.
An approach that has been suggested to provide connections between components that are stable at higher temperatures is a bonding process referred to as transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding, which can be accomplished at lower temperatures (less than about 300� C.). Transient liquid phase bonding starts with the use of a high melting point first metal as a contact. A film of a second metal of a much lower melting point is placed on the first metal. The two metals form a system, with the combination of the metals at specific concentrations having an elevated melting point greater than the melting points of the second metal. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,038,996 the metals are then heated to a temperature above the melting point of the mixture, causing an interdiffusion of the metals, forming a bond. The '996 patent discloses the formation of Pb�Sn or Sn�Bi TLP bonded connections between copper leads or surface pads.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,897,341 discloses methods for fabricating semiconductor devices, particularly multi-chip modules, including methods for forming interconnections between an integrated circuit chip and a substrate by solid-state diffusion bonding of dissimilar metals. In particular, a layer of cadmium, gallium, nickel, tin or zinc is formed over aluminum or aluminum coated pads by typical metal deposition techniques, such as evaporation, sputtering, CVD, electroplating or electroless plating. Bonding is then accomplished by solid-state diffusion at 100-150� C. to create a diffusion bond.
The preceding methods, as well as other methods in the prior art, lack the reliability and thermal resistance required for wide band gap (SiC and GaN) based power electronics.
Interconnect and packaging techniques for SiC based electronic devices capable of operating reliably for extended periods of time when exposed to temperatures up to about 400� C., in particular, continuous operation at 200-400� C., as well as cycling from sub-zero temperatures (e.g. −55� C.) to elevated temperatures (e.g., 400� C.) under high voltage and currents and the method of forming these interconnects are disclosed. The process utilizes transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding to attach SiC based electronic devices to metallized substrates, particularly bonds formed from ternary or quaternary mixtures of Ag, Au, Sn and In on copper or nickel contacts. Devices with high temperature, thermally and electrically conductive, void and creep resistant, and corrosion resistant joints with lower thermal resistance that outperform the typical solder, brazing and binary TLP materials are obtained.
Techniques and materials are disclosed for forming electrically conductive attachments between components in wide band gap devices (diodes, transistors, lasers, and integrated circuits). The techniques described are particularly directed to devices for attachment of silicon carbide (SiC) devices but are also applicable to devices based on gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum gallium nitride, indium nitride (InN), gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP) and/or alloys thereof, and other materials typically used in high power and high frequency applications. The technique is also applicable to silicon devices, where the low thermal resistance and reliability of the joint can be utilized. The methods disclosed also allow two sided high temperature contacts and eliminate the need for conventional wire bonding.
In a preferred method, the bond between components is accomplished by forming a ternary or quaternary transient liquid-phase bond taking advantage of the stability, reliability, resistance to voiding, and low thermal resistance of the high temperature compositions formed by the combination of three or four of In, Sn, Ag and Au. Prior techniques utilized binary solid solutions or multiple phases of either Ag and In or Au and Sn to directly bond the devices to various substrates
The process is illustrated by the following examples which describe the formation of two alternative compositions that incorporate the features of the invention. However, one skilled in the art will recognize, based on the teachings herein, other metals, compositions, thicknesses, substrates, temperatures, dimensions, etc can be used to accomplish the formation of a high temperature, thermally and electrically conductive, void and creep resistant, corrosion resistant, and lower thermal resistance TLP bond. As part of the process, a metallic composition having a higher melting point than that of the starting materials is formed. Although the examples and illustrations below are described with the example of a SiC power device, the technique is equally applicable to other device types including gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon (Si) or combinations of devices�e.g. Si and SiC. In Si based devices, the following technique and composition offers lower thermal resistance, higher void and corrosion resistance compared to soldered interconnects.
With reference to
A SiC device with an approximately 2-5 micrometer (μm) layer of Au and/or 25-50 micrometer (μm) of Ag deposited, for example by electrodeposition or other common coating techniques, and a 6-12.5 mil copper layer bonded to a ceramic substrate, such as AlN or Al2O3 is used. Other substrates such as metal matrix composites and metallic substrates may also be used.
The copper was polished, 1-2 mil Ag was deposited on the copper and 0.08-0.2 mil Au was deposited on Ag, for example by electroplating. An adhesion layer of Ni and Ti (<1 micrometer) is typically used between Cu and Ag. Ag is deposited first on the copper metallized ceramic substrate followed by Au.
A low melting (approximately 300� C.) Au�Sn preform, about 0.5-1 mil thick, (for example, a film of 80/20 weight % or 71/29 atomic % Au/Sn) was sandwiched between the two substrate and SiC device, mild clamping pressure was applied and the assembly was heated to approximately 300-350� C. for about 10-30 min.
The Sn in the melted liquid migrates or diffuses into the Au and Ag layers, rapidly reducing the Sn concentration in the melt, forming a higher melting Au/Sn/Ag ternary composition between the SiC device and the copper coated substrate. The assembled structure was then cooled. If exposed to an elevated temperature the bond thus formed now melts at a temperature >700� C., thus producing a packaged device which can be operated at elevated temperatures. The bond thus formed also possesses the required properties of resistance to voiding during thermal and power cycling, constant temperature exposure, corrosion resistance, low thermal resistance and high electrical conductivity.
An electrically conductive connection can be formed using indium as follows:
1. Approximately 2-5 micrometer (μm) layer of Au and/or 25-50 micrometer (μm) of Ag deposited, for example by electrodeposition or other common coating techniques, on a SiC device and a 6-12.5 mil copper layer bonded to a ceramic substrate, such as AlN or Al2O3 is used. Other substrates such as metal matrix composites and metallic substrates may also be used.
2. A preform of 52 weight % In-48 weight % Sn with melting point of 118� C. or 50 weight % In-50 weight % Sn with melting point of 125� C. approximately 0.5-1.0 mils thick is sandwiched between the metallized ceramic or other substrates and SiC device, mild clamping pressure is applied and the assembly is heated to a preferred temperature of 250-350� C. for about 10-30 min. Higher temperature over and above the melting point of the alloy is preferred to avoid thermodynamically stable intermetallic phases and to accelerate diffusion. Alternatively In or In�Sn alloys may be electro- or vapor deposited on the metallized substrates and/or SiC devices with cooling of the substrate to prevent migration of the evaporated indium or In�Sn into the Au and/or Ag coating during this step. Where indium is deposited, a film of tin is deposited as well while providing cooling to the substrate. Cooling of the substrates and/or SiC devices during deposition, particularly when thermal and electron-beam evaporation techniques are used is necessary to prevent diffusion of the evaporated metals due to heating of the substrate and/or device. Cooling, preferably provided by a water-cooled fixture to which the substrates and devices are attached, is typically turned on after about 2-3 minutes of evaporation. This time period allows for sufficient migration of the evaporated metal (In and/or Sn) into the Ag and/or Au metallizations on the substrates and devices to improve adhesion of the subsequent evaporated layers. This technique does not require any performs and may be used to achieve the TLP bond by bringing into contact the substrates and devices with evaporated layers, and heating to 250-350� C. for about 10-30 mm.
The In and Sn migrate into the Ag and/or Au layers, thus forming a higher melting ternary (Ag�In�Sn or Au�In�Sn) or quaternary (Ag�In�Sn�Au) composition between the SiC device and the copper coated substrate. The assembled structure is then cooled. When later exposed to an elevated temperature the ternary or quaternary TLP bond thus formed is stable up to about three times the processing temperature.
While devices stable at higher operating temperatures can be formed using binary Au/Sn or Ag/In TLP bonds, it has been found that devices operable at higher temperatures which are more stable and reliable can be produced by forming ternary or quaternary compositions, of which Ag�Sn�Au, Ag�In�Au, Ag�In�Sn, Au�In�Sn or Ag�In�Sn�Au are the preferred combination, because of the higher solubility of Sn or In in Ag than Au and due to the improved resistance to corrosion and void resistance upon thermal and power cycling. These ternary or quaternary bonded devices also have higher thermal and electrical conductivity.
In contrast,
It has now been demonstrated that packages including SiC devices assembled using ternary or quaternary TLP bonding, particularly using Au, Sn, In and Ag have superior elevated temperature electrical performance, stability and reliability when compared to prior art soldered or binary TLP assembled devices. While the combination of Au, Sn, In and Ag are preferred metals, based on the teachings herein one skilled in the art will recognize that high temperature ternary and quaternary eutectics can be formed from numerous other combinations which include one or more low temperature melting metals and one or more high temperature melting metals which, when combined as taught herein, initially form a melt of the lower temperature melting metal(s) but the alloy or blend after thermodynamic equilibrium having a significantly higher melting temperature and meeting other requirements for a power electronic application.

For all you guitar nuts out there, had an interesting conversation with photog Blake about standard tuning vs. open G tuning. For those who don't know, standard tuning is how a guitar is tuned for most songs. Open G tuning was made famous by Keith Richards (though he didn't pioneer it). The strings are tuned that when played open, it is a G chord.
You obviously can play a wide variety in standard tuning...most songs are played this way. Open G has a very specific sound. Here are a couple of songs played in this tuning: (Rolling Stones songs...fair warning, could have bad language):
The difference is, in open tuning every chord is played with a different finger configuration. In open G, you only need to bar the strings with one finger to play a chord. Typically you can hammer on and off with your other fingers to give a hard sound, specifically when playing rhythm guitar.
I can play in open tuning (i've been playing since I was a kid), but have been teaching myself the intricacies of open G. Blake says it is lazy, because it is so easy to play the chords. I say it is a completely different sound (honestly, play any of those Stones songs in regular tuning -- not the same at all).
What do you think? Open G = lazy? Or a cool, different sound? Let me know!!!
p.s. Interesting fact -- usually when Keith Richards is playing rhythm in open G, Ronnie Wood plays the lead/fills in standard tuning. Have a great weekend!

We were totally surprised how bad the 3D was. We actually checked from the disc menu that the 3D version was chosen, because we were so uncertain... Eventually we let the bluray player convert the film to 3D! Not the worst 3D ever, because it wasn't 3D at all! Otherwise the movie was a typical offbeat Asian action film with lots of everything ;)

In my opinion the best 3D was in "Tahiti", with some superfine 3D graphics and superb scenery.Additionally, you actually can LEARN about the dynamics of waves . The othjer two were excellent also,like the opening sequence of "Grand Canyon" with it's title graphics. Naturallly it doesn't end there, but you get the usual IMAX -style flyovers that are like being there ..."Legends of flight" was of the same good quality with "in your face" - 3D visuals. If you want to show off your 3D equipment, you cannot go wrong with this boxset!

In my book Fargo is THE BEST movie ever made, because it is such a enjoyment from start to finish with dazzling dialogue and colourful characters. Not a dull moment in the film and I can't understand anyone who doesn't like it... There are other excellent films in the world, but Fargo is the one I can watch over and over again and still get a total kick out of it every time. The soundtrack with the somber violin-based theme is also spot-on.

The film itself is what you'd expect from most current horror films; quick and nasty deaths and the obligatory sex scene... It is entertaining to a certain degree;actually pretty OK as long as you accept it as entertainment and not as an art film! Well what about the technical-side of the movie; the sound rumbles nicely in uncompressed HD sound and the 3D works very well with only minimal "ghosting" in a couple of scenes. What was amazing was the incredibly normal-looking color-palette, because most often that is one of the problems of home cinema 3D. Usually you almost get sick by watching 3D movies due to the crazy colors.We own most of the available 3D BD's available in region B, and I have to say this is technically the best one!

Initially I was a bit sceptical about the colorised version, but it was surprisingly natural in it's colour palette. The picture did have astonishing sharpness considering it's age; you could see the tiniest details of clothing. The info for sound options was interesting; Dolby Digital mono 2.0!!! The sound was clear anyway...

Technically this disc is good,but especially during the first few tracks the band doesn't sound to be in a good groove,as testified in the enclosed booklet. It is always a pleasure to see Keiths crazy grimaces and overall it's worth to buy,just don't expect anything like "Live at Leeds"!

Absolutely superb footage of our Earth and "how it works". It really clarifies how eg. volcanoes affect the weather and the CGI graphics look really good. BBC did it again :) Just buy it, if you're into quality documentaries. I guarantee you won't regret it one bit!The picture quality is 1080 almost all the time,with a few short exceptions.

It has great handling once you get used to it. The graphics are not up to current standards,but the choice of different views and camera angles is excellent. I would've given it 4 stars if the visual side had been better...
Baraka: Remastered (Documentary)
Posted: 24/11/2008
The technical quality is flawless and Baraka in itself is a feast for eyes. It also gives food for thought on a global scale; you realize that there are other cultures with extra-ordinary achievements. The "Making of" is an entertaining extra also!

J.Y.'s back on our front page with a fresh mixtape leak… do you know What That Means? Actually, I'm not quite sure either – but it's certainly an indication that quality tune-age lies in our imminent future. The follow-up to inaugural leak Arkham Asylum is a grind anthem par excellence, with JRB's bass-booming percussion, synth-strings and overdriven guitar riffage setting the stage for some picturesque real talk ("Left leg shakin' like the ass on Shakira / Nervous cause the time of success getting' nearer."). But before the headliner's said his piece, fellow Garden State repper (and freestyle series alumnus) Neako grabs the mic to lace the opening verse with witty braggadocio, as well as some more earnest insights into his motivations: "I'm about family: I wouldn't give up my mother for a Grammy, homie for an Oscar, I represent the block, yup." Newcomer Prestige rounds out the lineup, exhibiting a uniquely gruff vocal style on the hook. J.Y.'s Booth-sponsored The Slave Shift: Falling Up street album is set to hit our mixtape page June 28. Watch for the project's first official single to drop later this week!

Fantastic commencement speech about perspective in life. When reading it I couldn't help but hear my mother's voice saying, "You don't have to look very far to see someone worse off then yourself."
When I hear people tell me:
"What camera should I get to take better pictures?"
"How do people find the time to write?"
Or my personal favorite:
"If I only had the time…"
It drives me crazy. These are all just essentially excuses for the same problem. Just do it already.
"My brother is a shoe store DJ. My father is a shoe store DJ. My grandfather was a shoe store DJ. The day I left the trade, some in my family cursed me. But now I'm having the last laugh."
"The only way to get warmer during a season of sloth is to be active."
Great advice from Ryan Singer describing what he calls "Domain Languages".
Love this post from Rands In Repose and it couldn't come at a better time. I'm working on finishing up a lot of little details on a web application and it's great to remember how important these little things are.
Just. Keep. Trying. Great inspirational piece from Merlin Mann.
"Personally I feel I no longer have anything to share with the so-called graphic design of today: not the concept, not the typefaces, not the layout—nothing. Therefore, I conclude that I am no longer a graphic designer, but an information architect, and from now on that is how I will describe the meaning of my work and the scope of my activity. For me, to be an information architect means to organize information in a way that is essentially retrievable, understandable, visually captivating, emotionally involving, and easily identifiable. Information should be semantically rooted, syntactically correct, pragmatically efficient. It doesn't work otherwise." - Massimo Vignelli Again, I'm not interested in the semantic debate about this but I like the sentiment.
Hilarious, was going to mention it's a bit graphic, but whatever, it's text, deal.
"Are they the best a man can get? Fuck, no. Gillette is the best a man can get."
The eloquent response.
"I found an amazing sweater yesterday at Daffy's and I think it looks very classy. With your permission, I'd like to call the tux place and cancel my order and then wear the sweater (forrest green with mauve cuffs and tulle) at the wedding."
Blue Flavor's Tiffani Jones with some great tips for writing for the web.
I haven't watched the entire thing yet, but what I've seen it's incredible. If he really did write it himself that's just staggering.
Hilarious self-reflecting humor.
Another great post from ideasonIdeas about the emotional effect designs have on us, and how that should be the focus when selling your value to clients.
I've been guilty of this in the past but I completely agree with Shawn here. Well said.
One of my favorite posts ever. For those of you who know me I'm very much a minimalist and pretty much despise clutter and too much "stuff". It's a bit long but take the time to read it through if you can.
I'm not a big fan of resolutions either (my past two years have been "touching my toes") but I like this one from Bronwyn.
It's a good article and I was surprised to see my coworker Keith's slide is used halfway down the article to make a point about the importance of writing online.
Entertaining stuff.
"I was born a programmer. The rest is just implementation detail." Worth the long read.
Great article about writing by Bronwyn Jones.
A street-art version of a "choose your own adventure" story, the project unfolds on the streets of the Mission District in SF, each stencil connected to the next by arrows and using the surrounding streetscape as illustrations.
Hilarious. Great piece by John Frank Weaver.
Zeldman compares the declaration of indpendence to client work and somehow make it all work.

I have been unable to brew a "quick" beer... every homebrew I have made (double-digit batches) must sit for at least 6 weeks before they are any good- most of them need 3 months in the bottle in the fridge- then they are really good! I read recipies that that say to drink them as soon as they are carbonated. I haven't found the secret to that yet- I don't mind the wait- I just wish I knew how others pull that off...
I'm gettin my free fridge and I'm not brewin anything til I get. Which controller do you recommend,the Johnson or the control products.
If it didn't matter,it wouldn't matter!
The Johnson control unit rocks. Get the digital version not the analog. I have the analog and will replace it with the digital when it croaks.

Celebs in Denim: Kate Moss in J Brand Lovestory Jeans
Kate Moss was spotted wearing a pair of J Brand Lovestory jeans in Jett wash in Malibu over the weekend. Again, celebs insist on walking on their poor, beautiful designer jeans – isn't she super tall already? Heels or hem – these are your choices ladies!

Britney Spears goes on a shopping spree at Paige Premium Denim
Superstar Britney Spears joined designer Paige Adams-Geller for a shopping trip at Paige Premium Denim – home to the designer's famed jeans. The two spent just over an hour shopping at Paige's Robertson Boulevard flagship where Britney chose about 9 pairs of jeans.
Joined by an assistant and two bodyguards, Britney wandered the store alongside Paige as the two chose jeans and tops to outfit the famed singer. Of her favorite picks were the Roxbury jean – a cigarette style pant available in two colors. She also picked up the Blue Heights in Black – a skinny jean in Paige's ultra soft denim. Last but not least Britney chose the signature Laurel Canyon Boot Cut in the new McKinley wash. In addition to her denim favorites Britney chose 9 tops as well, two pairs of Abbot Kinney shorts, and the Sunset Leather jacket. I'm not usually a big fan of leather jackets but Paige's is beautiful!
While the paparazzi came to blows outside (the police had to help Britney out of the store!) the real action was inside where Britney and Paige shopped away. Our sources at Paige say the pop tart was in a great mood and very sweet to the staff at the boutique while she shopped til' she dropped.
By the way, in case you are wondering, Britney wore a pair of People's Liberation jeans to the store, which she is spotted in often – will Paige replace her People's Liberation collection?
