Found this little gem of a CMS today that may see some action on static websites I build in the future. It allows semi-WYSIWIG editing in a similar style as Firebug, then when finished, allows the client to upload via FTP, download the code for manual FTP uploading, or send the updated code to their designer via email.

Wow! Pirates sure made a come back in 2008 - and I’m not talkin’ about Johnny Depp.

Just in case you’re wondering, Devon and I are on day 10 without the use of our car. It’s not so bad, we have power, Internet access, heat, and, as of last Sunday, water.
Even with the warmer temperatures melting the snow into a nasty muddy slush, our little Nissan Sentra still can’t make it up the steep hill.
While reading the afore-mentioned Signal vs. Noise, I noticed they had a post about the Olivetti Lettera 22 portable typewriter. What a weird coincedence, as I have one in my living room right now! I can’t agree more with their assessment of it’s lean, elegant design being a case study in understated beauty.
Now, if only I could find replacement ribbon for mine…

Revenue is like water going into a dam. The more holes you can poke in that dam, the more ways the money has to trickle through to you.

My parter in Zigflitz crime, Aaron, would dig this. He had the idea for a Firebomb This! sticker campaign, but perhaps Kern This! is a little kinder and more to the point. Download and print the templates from Design Police.
