If you have your own website, a nice feature to have is a “FavIcon”. If you’re not familar, a FavIcon is the little graphic that appears next to the URL in a person’s web-browser (although this isn’t the case in Internet Explorer? It works perfectly in Safari and Mozilla though). Zeldman has a nice set [...]
Check out Volkswagen’s Transparent Factory in Germany. Glass walls, hardwood floors? I wish my house looked like this “auto plant”!
Very nice DIY DVD/CD packaging over at jewelboxing.com (brought to you by the fine folks over at Coudal Partners)… I might have to look into these for my annual year-end compilation.
This is kind of cool.. Download the template at http://www.harrumph.com/badgeswap and design your own 1 1/4 inch button. Send the design back to harrumph.com along with $1 and you’ll get back someone elses design.

A new UPS logo was announced along with a full-on advertising campaign to back it and allow people to “get to know the new look”… Reading the comments over at k10k, someone mentioned that it “looks like a fuckin OS X Aqua icon“. I thought that was a funny comment. :)
Great link I found over on Mike Daisey’s site to an article about a trip to Scandinavia and the Ikea corporate headquarters… Before lunch, Anna gives us a tour of the showrooms where the current IKEA products and the secret prototypes for new ones are displayed. I am a little surprised to hear that exactly [...]
