ZDNet: Roll your own creative suite (free/open-source alternatives to Adobe CS3)

http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/software/contentcreation/0,1000001068,39286832,00.htm
"So, you need to complete a design project that requires the image-editing capabilities of Photoshop along with the vectorised lines of Illustrator, and it needs to be animated in Flash with documentation in a PDF. However, your software budget is looking somewhat threadbare. Take your head out of the oven — there is a way to save your project and your wallet from the eye-watering price tags of the various versions of Adobe's Creative Suite 3 (especially in the UK). You just have to be a bit…creative."

IT Enquirer: Designing For The Web: Who Needs Icons Anyway?

http://www.it-enquirer.com/main/ite/more/web_icons/
"A RSS icon these days isn’t simply “RSS” inside a coloured rectangle, but an icon made up of something that resembles a dot with two curves at the right side. Who makes up these things? And why should we use them?"

43 Folders: What's in my menubar?

http://www.43folders.com/2007/04/27/my-menubar/
"Seems like every time another Mac user looks over my shoulder, they freak out over the number of little icons I have up in my menubar. And — like all Mac geeks — we have to immediately start trading information, learning tricks, and sharing tips. I’m sure you know the drill by now.

If you were looking over my shoulder right now (and I hope that you are not) here’s the stuff you’d see in my menubar."

tools for Web Designers

http://www.tlbox.com/web_designers/
" A lot of sites have been promoting pages for web developers, but none of them have asked what people are actually using to do good work. This site hopes to answer that question and provide people with the best sites first - not somewhere in the middle of long lists. I also find myself looking for links I know I've seen on the web before, but can't seem to remember where. This site saves my good links, and organizes them by category so I can find them again. If you saw my list of unorganized bookmarks in my browser... it's sad."

Dustin Bachrach: A Developers Blog: Spotlight-Like Search As You Type With CSS, AJAX & JS

http://dbachrach.com/blog/2007/04/15/spotlight-like-search-as-you-type-with-css-ajax-js/
"OS X has a lot of great effects. These are great building blocks for creating effects for the web. You might have seen my previous tutorial on creating a Dashboard-Like effect using JS and CSS. This tutorial will show you how to create a Spotlight-Like effect for your search boxes. Take a look at the picture to the right to see where we are headed:

You can preview the finished effect here. This example will search through 3 text files of lists of names of celebrities, athletes, and presidents. In most real world situations, you would be searching inside databases, but for this preview I used text files. I have also zipped up the necessary files and put them here. This zip contains all required images, CSS files, HTML files, and javascript files."

pingmag: Iranian Typography

http://www.pingmag.jp/2006/12/11/iranian-typography-now/
pingmag: Tokyo-based magazine about "design and making things"
"The past few years have been quite exciting for Iranian graphic designers. As Iran’s design gains more international attention, the graphic designers face new challenges and rewards. In winter 2002 a poster exhibition by Iranian graphic designers called “Un Cri Persan” (A Persian Cry) was held in the city of Echirolles as a part of the Month of Graphic Design in France. The exhibition exposed a wealth of works that somehow escaped the spotlight for almost two decades. Ever since then Iranian graphic designers, many of them already internationally known, have been sharing more of their magic with the rest of the world."

LikeItMatters: Where Is Your Startup? Does It Matter?

http://www.brianoberkirch.com/?p=864
"Next week, Dan Cederholm and I are going to do a panel at SXSW called “ValleySpeak for the Rest of Us: Developing Apps Outside of InternetVille”. We’re looking at what the pros and cons are of trying to do great Web work away from the Bay Area, which is generally looked to as a prime mover for technology innovation.

The irony of global, decentralized technology having an ‘epicenter’ is not lost on me.

So, what impact does geography have on Web startups? While we can point to Google, YouTube, Yahoo, eBay and countless others, we can also point to a number of successful (or at least nascent) Web services that were born elsewhere:"
