Online Photo Sharing: Comparing The Services [Infographic]

Once again, I fall short for how to compare the old times with the new. Not too long ago we used to put this little plastic thing into our cameras, and it contained something called film.

I am used to checking out at least a dozen new fonts each day. Why? Well, because I am a designer, and I need some inspiration sometimes.

45,000 Hand-Sewn CDs Become Spectacular Sea Dunes

I sometimes wonder what happened to the recording medium that researchers and experts told us would grace the world right after the CD.

There is so much Star Wars awesomeness out there that I am sure if I really wanted to, I could cover several week's worth of article content with it.

I have pointed it out many times before, but I suppose another time won't hurt us a bit.

Facebook Faces: What 100,000 Profile Pictures Looks Like

I must admit, for a couple of years, I wasn't much of a Facebook user. I didn't even have an account with that giant social networking service.

Insane Living: A Whole Room In A Compact Box

The world is getting ever smaller they say. As a little kid, I never used to quite understand what the adults who said that were talking about, but as I grew older, I understood that it didn't have to do with the world as a physical object.
