Anatomy of a Computer Virus

This a video written by Scott Mitchell and directed and animated by Patrick Clair is probably one of the scariest computer virus videos I've seen. After watching the video you realize that computer systems will never be completely secure. As computer software gets smarter so do viruses. Eventually they'll all get smarter than us anyway...

Over the past few years I've started paying more attention to food and it's design. Maybe it's because of all the cooking networks. Maybe it's because Meg, my wife, is such a "foodie". Anyway I figure food is a fun thing to post about. Last night Meg and I had simple deconstructed BLTs. She split...

Aside from having a great website design, ReachLife Ministries has an interesting talk by Shai Linne on Christianity and the Arts. Even if you're not yet of the Christian persuasion, or into hip hop I think you'll gain some artistic insight out of it. Check out the site and the talk here.

So finally Smallville is over. For those of you, like myself, that went all the way from season one to the finale in season 10 I congratulate you. Like me you enjoyed a few good years of the show and then because you already put the time into it you wanted to see it out...

Here's a fun video I came across a few months ago but haven't posted yet. It's made by two fellas named Daniel. They've collaborated on a bunch of music videos and a great Levis ad. All of their work is fantastic but Dogboading is well... you'll see.

I've had an interest in flocking birds for awhile now. There's something so amazing about the movement almost like water floating in outer space. I don't know much about the video or the person who made it but it's cool to watch. If you want to see other posts about flocking including the pattern I...

Just a nice "longish" video by Juan Rayos from Madrid, Spain, of a lot of mediocre hipsters skateboarding. The video is actually really good. I found myself enjoying every second because of how well it was shot. Hope you enjoy.

So IE6 is down to 11.6% usage world wide. Still not under 10% but it's getting closer and closer. The calls from clients using IE6 and complaining that a site looks strange is now almost nonexisten but until IE6 is truly dead we'll still be using that stupid *html css code that only all web...

To a web developer/designer who probably spends close to 9 hours on a computer every day, a simple thing like a computer mouse really becomes a quality of life issue. I've been so blessed. My boss, for a baby gift, just got me an Apple Magic Mouse. I know they've been around for a while...

Nothing really new to report. As of today the baby is one week late. Meg did have an ultrasound though. It looks like the baby is working on her kissing skills.

It was love at first sight when was first introduced to Tara Donovan's work by my friend Abbey years ago. I've been influenced by her work ever since, so I was excited to see these drawings on The Crafts Dept. last week.

Some of you may have noticed already. I added a countdown timer to the Farmidable side bar to count down to the baby's due date. Obviously this is probably not the actual day the baby will be born. I think I read that less than 5% of babies are actually born on their due days....

NoteSlate's philosophy is to just keep it simple. Going back to pencil and "like paper" they hope to revitalize the human connection with drawing and writing by hand yet while still adding a layer of technology. The price is great and I love the concept but I'm not sure it's enough. For I'm a...

Over the next week or so I'll be rolling out a new layout for Farmidable. Some of you may have already noticed the current layout breaking a bit here and there as I edit the database to accommodate the new layout. One of the purposes of Farmidable is to be a working design where I...

Thanks to Pau & Octavi, two students from Barcelona that are on Erasmus in Slovenia. According to them "if you are Mediterranean and you go on Erasmus in Valcans you do a lot of things but not study". So they use their time not studying to do fun projects. When I lived in Boston I...

I never had an AT-AT as a kid. In fact I didn't really have any Star Wars toys at all. I did get the opportunity to play with them at a friend's house though. Those were the days. This video by the amazing Patrick Boivin is the incarnation of every boy's wish.

For Christmas this year my wife and I got a new flat screen tv and an Apple TV to go with it. I've used it a few times now and for the most part really like it. First I'll talk about what I like.

I had never heard of Damian Nenow before, so I don't know too much about him. I tried to look up some of his other work but couldn't find anything. Please drop a link in the comments if you have any more info. The above trailer looks amazing. WWII planes soaring through the clouds. It...

I thought I'd post a couple photos to commemorate the life of my Grandfather who went to be with the Lord yesterday. He had an amazing life, leaving home when he was only eleven to work on a farm and later joining the military to serve in Okinawa durring WWII. He had the equivalent of...
