FTW Friday – Design, Development, Freelancing, and Geeky links.
September 25th, 2009 by gjonesRemember: Border7’s celebration for this year of business and it’s amazing clients is tomorrow! Saturday, September 26th, at the Rancho Santa Susana Park in Simi Valley. We all hope to see you there!
Design
- NotePods: Notepads that look like iPhones. Kinda fun.
- Blue Retro Grunge Text Effect and Icons: I think they used my couch as a texture… Creepy.
Development
- Ultimate IE6 Cheat Sheet: How to Fix 25+ Bugs: Oh, IE, you fickle bastard… How unloved by programmers and designers alike.
- Complete Guide to CSS Font Stacks:This one is a bit design and development. A great article (with articles within) about Font Stacks: dos and don’ts, myths and legends, good and bads.
Business & Freelance
- America’s Most Promising Start-Ups: Profiling Start-Ups Around The U.S.: This was fun and interesting to go through. Some of these businesses are very intuitive, some are straight-forward. What they have done is quite amazing, and, for some, how quickly it’s been done is surprising.
- The Kinds of Employees You Want to Hire: Do you want Forrest Gump or a motivational employee? This article dives deeper into the area of who you should, or should want to, hire.
Nerdy Geeky Entertaining
- Aion is Live!: The long-awaited Aion is finally up and ready to go! I’ve got a few friends playing…AKA I need new friends. I am now accepting applications. Just state your name and hobbies. I’m not that picky.
- Man Spends 2 Years Building Dalek out of 480,000 matches: He was bet to do this as a challenge…by his wife… Yeah, dude, she just wanted you out of her hair. I wonder what was bet…
Absolute Fail
- Costume Fail: It’s not Halloween yet, but this is an amazing costume (for your dog)
- Costume Win: And another one for your cat. Yay!
- And for my favorite image in quite a long time…….

I love that graph. Makes me want to play The Beatles Rock Band though. Now I’ll just end up counting the lyrics. Haha. Where can I get some Notepods??
