Obama might have to give up email:

The president’s e-mail can be subpoenaed by Congress and courts and may be subject to public records laws, so if a president doesn’t want his e-mail public, he shouldn’t e-mail, experts said. And there may be security issues about carrying around trackable cell phones.”

I snapped this photo Tuesday when I dropped by to see Gilbert.
Apparently he and Chris were having a little “Halo Party”.
Or, this is from the portfolio of the fabulous Mr. Toledano.

“The wifi extends to the river like the rippled reflections of the morning sun on the water.”
Jon Tan, who I am usually a big fan of, in perhaps the nerdiest quote of 2008

Tomorrow’s in-house HTML/CSS workshop will be pulling plenty of material from all the popular CSS books – CSS Mastery, Bulletproof Web Design, and Transcending CSS – but also from the Silversun Pickups, the newest addition to my iTunes library. Part of it brings me back to the Siamese Dream era of my life, but they’ve also got this modern garage sound that refuses to feel old. Videos: Lazy Eye and Little Lover’s So Polite.

How does that influence an HTML workshop? First, preparing for it while blasting SSPU is keeping me firmly out of nerdville. Secondly, the Pickups’ Carnavas will see plenty of airplay during breaks, and whenever the discussion gets too dorky, I’ll have Professor Dilworth ring the bell and put on any one of his favorite tracks. This is design, remember?
