Gmail has themes! Woo! Now its only a matter of time before they let us crazy designers take a wack at it!

Do you have access to gmail themes yet? The option should be in your settings tab. I’m definitely diggin the wood background theme…I wonder why… Check out a few of the other themes:

I’ve been snagging these little mini-newspapers or ‘good sheets’ from the Starbucks down the street for some time now. Good magazine is releasing amazing information graphics covering and explaining hot topics such as the economy, gas prices, and health care. If you dig these little goodsheets check out the magazine itself. Sweet sweet information graphics, and all proceeds from the subscription fees go to charity! Check out their website: good.is

Even cats like beards!

Found this on Tyler Thompson’s website…..freaking hilarious! Nice way to tell IE users that they suck haha.

Hi, if you are coming to this site in Internet Explorer you might not be getting the best experience, honestly, I can’t even begin to think what your entire experience on the internet must be like…probably like riding a bike on the highway while cars blow by you on their way to Costco to get gallons of mayonnaise and 60 inch plasma TV’s, or something like that. So look, I am going to be honest, I kind of hate you, but we can make this work. Download Firefox, delete Internet explorer from your computer and get me a pulled pork sandwich.

Cute site & illustrations by Matthew Inman.  I definitely think the cats that lived with me for a few months were plotting my death. Both of them.

Why you ask? Because its an amazing piece-o-technology and….I can do pointless things with it like this:

SMule: Ocarina [Zeldarian] from SonicMule, Inc. on Vimeo.

Smule is a music type program thing that makes use of the audio input of the iphone to translate blowing into flute/woodwind type noises. My co-worker Mat was playing around with this program the other day and I have to say that I’m jealous! I should also note that I work with a bunch of Apple Fanboys (and girls) so it makes it even more difficult. Dear Mr. Steve Jobs - PLEASE let the iPhone come to Verizion….ill be your BFF for life
