Jacob Gube from Six Revisions recently wrote an article called 25 Outstanding WordPress Designs that featured 25 handpicked WordPress blog designs. I was honored that my blog was picked and included in this great company; two of my personal favorites from this list are ISO50 (check out the beautiful prints) and coda.coza. If you are not familiar with Six Revisions you should really give it a read. It is one of a handful of web development/design sites that I frequently visit to find out about new techniques and to be inspired. Here are a couple of great articles to get you started: 30 Exceptional CSS Techniques and Examples and 9 Practical Ways to Enhance your Web Development Using the Firefox Web Developer Extension.

June 17th is a day I have looked forward to for a while now, it is the day when the new Firefox 3 web browser from Mozilla will be released, and also the day when I will start using Firefox 3 as my primary browser. The launch is going to be really big, in fact, it is going to be record-breaking. Mozilla will be trying to break the world record for most software downloads in 24 hours. So if you are interested in participating pledge now and remember to download Firefox on Tuesday! I will probably be writing about my experiences with the new browser, so stay tuned.

Being a graphic designer I have always been drawn to t-shirts, and one of the best places for finding great t-shirts at an affordable price is Threadless. But the best feature of Threadless is that it is community-driven, all the t-shirt designs are created by regular users and voted on by others, then some of the best submissions are picked by the Threadless staff and printed, and the winners get handsomely rewarded. I submitted a design three years ago myself, but that did not go too well. I probably own two dozen t-shirts from Threadless, I usually stock up when they have one of their occasional sales with t-shirt prices starting at $10. Here is a list of my ten favorite designs from Threadless, sadly many cool t-shirts sell out pretty quickly, but there is always the opportunity to request a reprint.
