  10 Unique Album Covers

  The art on the cover of an album reflects the style of the artist and what their music sounds like. I don’t know if it’s coin­ci­dence, but I find that a lot of really great songs are accom­pa­nied by some equally great album art. Per­haps that’s because I’m totally anal about my album art (I can’t stand hav­ing place­holder cov­ers in my library). Any­way, I just thought I’d share a few that always seem to pop out when­ever I’m scrub­bing through my library. Who knows, some of these might give you some ideas for a cre­ative project.

  10 Beautiful Kinetic Typography Videos

  I’ve always loved typog­ra­phy used as the focal point in motion graphic videos. I’ve even tried my hand at mak­ing them. Need­less to say, I wasn’t suc­cess­ful due to the lack of patience on my part. How­ever, that made me fur­ther appre­ci­ate the time and effort that these peo­ple have put into mak­ing these videos.

  Sure, they’re cool, but take into account that each move­ment of text is scripted and per­haps you will under­stand the almost artis­tic beauty of these videos.

  Designing Cloudy

  I chal­lenged myself to design a basic site in an hour or less while tak­ing a screen­shot every 10 sec­onds. At what ended up being 1 hour and 9 min­utes, I missed my mark -  but only by a lit­tle bit. Over­all, the end result is decent, but noth­ing spec­tac­u­lar. Given more time I would have prob­a­bly refined the header sec­tion a bit more and spiced up the wel­come area. Keep­ing in mind the time con­straints, the sim­plic­ity and bar­ren­ness can be over looked, in my opin­ion. Look for the full size image after the jump.

  Alright, so I was try­ing to see if MSN was down by Googling “is msn down”, and some some­what com­i­cal sug­ges­tions popped up when I punched in the first word. This sparked a short-lived Googling frenzy. Here are my highlights.

  I never found out if MSN was down..

  RuneScape Gathering 2008: Aftermath

  It’s over… and appar­ently it was a suc­cess. Bil­lions (not really) of peo­ple showed up, and enjoyed them­selves… for the most part. Worlds 126 and 127 filled up com­pletely, hours before the event even started.

  I per­son­ally hung out with Regicidal1 for a while, and we went over to Clan Wars and lost mul­ti­ple times. I pwned with my Mith stuff… But hey, who cares about me?

  Videos and pic­tures after the break.

  Yet ANOTHER Site Re-Design

      I know, I’ve already com­pletely re-vamped the site this week, but I was really hat­ing that black and gray theme I had going on, so I came up with a new one. Some things still don’t fit (the nav­i­ga­tion but­tons and the links at the bot­tom of the page for exam­ple), but I’ll change those down the road… I’ll promise you this time that this design will last at least a week this time…
