2009.05.08 handdrawncreative's Petrolhead Postcard Col VII (Etsy)

I really like these illustrations. I'm not sure if it's the vintage feel of them or what… but I dig 'em. #

2009.05.08 BBC - Monster Wave Gives up its Secrets

A super slow-motion video of a fabulous wave. Although I've always wanted to surf well enough to ride a wave like that, I liked the shot at about 11 seconds in to be just as cool. #

2009.05.06 YEAR OF MMIX

We just talked about this yesterday. Have you started on your MMIX yet? This site has. #

2009.05.06 cufón - fonts for the people

With full respect to SIFR and how nice it was/is to get alternate fonts into web pages, Cufón is so easy, it makes me wonder why I ever spent the time to figure out SIFR. Very slick. #

2009.05.04 Grammar Girl :: Who Versus Whom

I thought the cheating trick was pretty handy: "When you're trying to decide whether to use who or whom, ask yourself if the answer to the question would be he or him." That ending m is the thing to match. Sure, there's still plenty of room for questions, but that's just how English is. #

2009.05.03 The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks

Always a good "blog" and one that I "remind" myself of frequently. I'm commonly frustrated by some people and their use of "quotation marks." (seriously, though... funny, and one I had forgotten about) #

2009.05.02 TidBITS: Achieving Email Bliss with IMAP, Gmail, and Apple Mail

Since I'm on a TidBITS roll here, this is a great write-up of something I've encouraged multiple people to do. I love the combination, and they've documented the steps perfectly. Well worth the effort. Don't own a Mac? You should. #
