Gruber on the DiggBar, that is more annoying than the Facebook frameset for outbound links:
"Digg loads a page which frames the content of the original site. As a user, what you see is that the URL in your browser’s location field remains digg.com/1234, and the content of the destination site loads underneath a Digg-branded toolbar.
This, of course, is total bullshit."
and:"Digg sends a tremendous amount of traffic to sites that make it to the top of their front page, but it’s the worst kind of traffic: mindless, borderline illiterates. Good riddance, really."
The Mill 2009
There are three certain things in this world: death and taxes.
And the fact that every The Mill showreel will be awesome.
Have a look at the 2009 showreel. Full screen and a decent audio output strongly suggested.

You are now aware that…

In the long lasting (laaaazy bastard I am) quest to update all my websites, including this blog and the portfolio (last updated… years ago), searching for new content management systems and online tools I came across and I’m testing CargoCollective from the folks behind the SpaceCollective community.
I discovered Cargo thanks to the always fresh and wonderful blog of the amazing London based illustrator Cookie: Made in England.
Again I discovered his blog searchig online for the vintage styled delicious “prints” and art that you surely spotted in The Incredibles movie, not to mention the closing credits.
If this wasn’t enough, Cookie played an all english match of Layer Tennis, hosted at my not-so-secret favourite place on the web.
Here’s his Cargo Folio by the way.
Surely you need to add his blog to your rss aggregator.
Cargo is a light-weight and really easy to use CMS system. I’m testing it with some of my photos (I always wanted to publish somewhere outside flickr some of my favourite shots) alongside my standard portfolio.
It’s super fast to set up. The provided interface it’s in the perfect minimal style for an online folio, and you can still edit it and modify it to suit your taste.
I’m still experiencing some quirks in Firefox (sometimes page reloads lead to funny things) but it’s still in beta and really promising.
No invites to give, but you can surely email them and apply for a beta account.

London Premiere was awesome. Too bad I didn't had any tickets (even standing in the back…) sigh.

"Britain's bendiest roads - where drivers can face the same gravitational forces as on a rollercoaster or race track - have been named" Looks like the british equivalent to the ultra curvy road that lead up to Tolfa, near Rome in Italy.
