to my dutch friends Nov 6, 07, 12:30 p.m.

Why do a lot of people that use mt to host have a little icon or write a special thanks to them for "graciously hosting" (actual quote, for example) it? It's not like mt is doing a favour... or is it? is it sort of a contractual thing?

And now that we're on it, what's so special about them? any reason or recommendations?

...to be used as it's meant to be: a point and shoot, not compared to slr or anything 'better'. What say you?

wedding ring/band Dec 6, 07, 10:29 a.m.

a guy in my studio just got married and he had a custom ring made for him out of white gold (i think)...

this lead me to wonder what would i get if and when the time comes? What do you MEN in here have/think about wedding rings for men? Lady (or if we're lucky, ies) your comments are welcome too.

BLACKLE = Black Google? Jul 26, 07, 11:08 a.m.

Will it ever have an impact? most importantly, is this actually true?

“Blackle: it’s Google but in black, darling. If Google swapped their white background for black, it’s claimed, 750 mega watts/hour per year could be saved.”

Now onto some real discussion. This has been out for a few days. Sagmeister is releasing a new book about the 'things he learned so far' etc and has a show on the Detich Projects gallery on now.

The comments here are pretty interesting.

Flash Dec 14, 07, 10:32 a.m.

I hate flash...almost with a passion. I can't stand it. Is it just me or people have problems accessing flash sites?? On a mac, tried Safari, Firefox, Camino and still i get sites that don't load up, cause the app to crash, pop-up links that just reload same page or stay 'transferring data' for hours on end...

It does have some use and potential but c'mon!!

web wizards unite!

in your opinion what is the preferred type style for web pages? serif - like georgia, times etc or a sans serif like arial, verdana... (only standard web-safe fonts) for smallish type, that is...

flickr... i'm scared Dec 6, 07, 7:54 a.m.

of signing up... I feel like it'll only add to my various procrastination devices. I have quite a few good flicker set links bookmarked over time but never actually signed up!

Thanks in advance.

spastic illustrator Dec 13, 07, 12:04 p.m.

My illustrator cs3 (13.0.2), running on a new intel Imac is just going crazy... everytime i print something i have to close and reopen the document again because it doesn't let me do anything. Out of the blue, all commands don't work even though the mouse clicking on the tool bar works, nothing comes out of it...

an yes, it's all legit.

file organization Feb 9, 08, 2:38 p.m.

I need to get a better file system down. Between different studios and colleagues, the file organization methods used differ greatly and each has their benefits. I want to get a good system for myself to use outside work. Anyone got some useful insights into this?
