• It's all the same
  Yes, exactly. When you run a business, everything you do is interrelated and benefiting the whole. And with this mindset, you can never "forget" to market yourself or your company.
• Five Most Important Considerations (when planning a web site)
  Ah, the beauty of simplicity. This nails it, without a checklist that's going to intimidate. (Quick quiz: how many businesses actually consider all five when planning their site?)
• Blingin' Nokia 8800
  24K gold Nokia. Sure, I want it - just in case you thought I'd given up on all things bling (like *that* would ever happen).
• popurls.com
  Otherwise known as potentially the most distractable single web page on the entire planet. If you go, you risk being sucked in by random web browsing for hours. No joke! Plus, it's very pretty.
• Fake model photography
  Faking the effects you can get with a tilt-shift lens using Photoshop. Cool.
• The Future of Digital Imaging - High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR)
  Interesting overview of why you need HDR and a bit of how it works. I find this really fascinating.
• Flickr: The HDR Pool
  Some really amazing photos in here. I really need to learn more about this HDR stuff.
• Painting Grass in Photoshop
  Nifty quick tutorial on how to create grass from scratch in Photoshop. Cool.
• Typography for Headlines
  Several dozen examples of what we're doing right now about headlines. Also fun as a "can you name that site" game. :)
• Love/Hate T-shirts
  These are just so much fun. I totally have to get one.
• Vitamin
  "Vitamin is a resource for web designers, developers and entrepreneurs." Should have linked to the home page before this. Awesome content, sweet design & an advisory board that reads like a who's who.
