Video: Joe Hewitt Talks About FireBug

Worth a watch, I learned a trick or two. There are a bunch of command line / search functions that aren't obvious from the interface, but are extremely useful tricks to know.

Web designer's guide to print design : Mark Boulton

Where was this a month ago? Actually, this article wouldn't have helped me too much, I needed some solid basics like this Design Guide For Print, and these Blank Design Templates. But dude, I wish I'd known about CMYK's issues with orange (from Kurt Trew's comment) when I went about designing Cybil's menu. Still have my fingers crossed on that one. Hopefully the series that this article has started will cover these basic issues (picking CMYK colors, setting bleed and safety areas, etc.) in more depth than the few existing articles about print that can be found on the web.

Wooden Tool Box - Seconds - Duluth Trading Company

Finally settled on a toolbox after my old Rubbermaid one gave up the ghost (latches having broken years ago, the handle just snapped off). I was tempted to build my own, but not having a router let alone shop I decided to stick with the cribbage board projects. Coping/hand saws just aren't the same as a router and a table saw.

Lunacore Photoshop Training - Photoshop Tutorials

I'm always bookmarking photoshop tutorials, but rarely do enough work with actual photographs to put them to good use. There is one trick I've yet to figure out, not sure if the Realistic Clouds tutorial here will help… I want to create a "difference clouds" type effect, but at print resolution, at least 300dpi. I did a small thumbnail sketch for a recent design, but it ended up having a lot more texture than the finished piece, because I had trouble getting the built in photoshop filters to create the same effects at high res as they do for screen/web work.

Six Flags Magic Mountain : Tatsu

New Coaster, and I haven't even gotten a chance to go on X yet. Next visit's going to be fun.
