- EPM Podcast #11 - Kone-R epm-music.com
Techno mix from and interview with Russ. "I think with Uncharted it's a lot to do with the people. I refuse to work with anyone who isn't on my wavelength. I do this because I love it so why would I want to spend time arguing with someone or being suspicious of them or they of me? It's a very honest and down-to-earth bunch of people, they are all a pleasure to know and to work with and of course they're all extremely talented." Yes.

- Formula Onederland deathtotheflippers.com
"So, some of us guys and gals at Poke have started up a little club we call ‘Stuff Club’, in which we make stuff, y’know - for fun. The first thing we’ve made was actually a request by the Poke elders to do some kind of alternate Christmas tree for the office. So, naturally, we built a 8 foot square Alpine village (known as the Black Forest Ghetto) featuring a totally sweet Scalextric set with tunnels, bridges, mountains and sound reactive lights in all the trees and lil’ houses (they react to the music thats pumped out of the amp and speakers hidden in the base unit)." Hurrah for The Flippers.
Why do double decker buses have windows? I’m not talking about the big windows we look out of, but the small letterbox shaped windows above that we can open and close? The answer, obviously, is so that passengers can regulate temperature and ventilation, but they come with a major problem: for half the year, they make passengers on the bus ill. At least, that’s my theory.
- No Man’s Blog - This Book Will Be Famous (I hope) no-mans-blog.com
Great idea. "It’s a little social experiment that is best described as Pass the Parcel, meets Six Degrees of Separation, meets Message in a Bottle. Every person who receives this book leaves a trace on the next available page [then] they will send the book to the most famous person they know personally. Once we get the book from the last famous person, we’ll auction it on ebay and donate all the money to the NSPCC."
- Example CSS Style Guide - Unit Testing for CSS? thoughtballoon.co.uk
I've been reading about unit testing for jQuery and wonder if an analagous approach could be used on a CSS system. Probably not, but a style guide featuring every type of box, unit, module and typographic style on the site can quickly allow you to not only see if any changes you make have knock-on or regression errors, but allow you to see what your styles imply.
