Thanks to Digg's post on the new MySpace profile customizer thingy, we get a sneak peek at what is to come. If you click on the "Digg's" link I posted, you can go check out the web app MySpace is working on, titled Interface 2.0 or something.

This is entertaining; if your into dictators, sitcom characters and crafty web programming. Small Time Entertainment is a site with a number of clever little anti-productivity games and fun things, and I was recently introduced to their Guess the Dictator and/or Television Sit-Com Character game by a co-worker in an email. "Guess the Dic/Char" is a pretty clever little dynamic questionnaire which determines who you are trying to be based on how you answer the provided questions. When I did it, it was right on the money for Jack Tripper, Saddam Hussein and a few others. I did stump the system using Rachel from Friends and Balki Bartokomous from Perfect Strangers. Adding to the cleverness, the programmer(s) provide a form to add to the database of answers and questions for when you stump the system. Give it a go; I think if you answer correctly you can actually get it to answer George Bush.

I love LifeHacker, matter of fact, I do not go a day without consulting the helpful bright mind that is Gina Trapani. Today was no different, I visited LifeHacker earlier and was surprised to see that the download of the day was a favorite of mine Edit Plus (it's better than Ultra Edit). Surprisingly I have been using Edit Plus for over 5 years now, so I was wondering how it became such a hot new item. Also mentioned in the post was the $30 user license, which is not exactly true. I thought LifeHacker would go a bit deeper into the tool and let all of its readers know that the free 30 day trial never expires. So download Edit Plus's Trial version and have a blast. I use it for all of my code monkeying around.

The boys and girls of L.G. have listed the 2005 Webby Nominees for Humor. One of my favorite comedians Eddie Izzard was fortunate enough to be nominated twice, once for best celebrity web site and in the humor category. Congratulations Eddie! Check out the site it's actually quite funny. I especially like the page Eddie's Fridge; a flash game that allows you to place pre created words on a line (be as creative as you like) and then Eddie says the phrase.

If you are unfamiliar with the Webby Awards, I do suggest you check out the nominee page, it has links to all the nominee's pages and if you are a developer/designer or just a fan of cool sites, there is plenty to steal borrow from.

I just recently agreed to build a site for a couple I know. Of course I am always up for a good challenge, and I am especially excited about this project due to its content subject. It is for a wedding planner consultant business, and I will be diving into the pinks and pastels to design a look and feel the client will truly want to spend the rest of their life with. I think the most difficult portion of the project is going to be the design itself. I mean lets be serious here people, any one in the web biz knows how easy it can be to build a site –simple static, nothing dynamically produced-, but it’s the design that takes all the time. As you can plainly see with the appearance of this site, I have a general concept of color and layout, but I am no CGD guru, and that is where I will have to really dig deep for this one. I would like to step away from using pictures for the primary focus of my sites, and lean more towards the custom graphics side of things. Well this one should be a lot of fun to do, and I already have a few clients lined up for after the launch of the wedding planner site, so things are looking positive in the world of freelance. Because how cool would it be to have the kind of freedom that will bring?
