Whether you’re a Mac or a Windows user, the system icons for external media such as cameras, memory cards, and external harddrives, can be pretty boring. Luckily, the world is filled with skilled (what a rhyme!) icon designers that create stunning icons for you to download for free. I’ve tried to collect some of the icons I find beautiful. Enjoy!
…Graphs, charts and diagrams can be used to visually describe data. Visualizing data is very important, as it helps the reader to understand the data even better. And even though some people might prefer viewing data in a table, I think we are many who feel more comfortable in viewing data graphically. Fortunately for us, there are several ways you can implement data into a graph on a website.
…There are a lot of cool Mac applications out there, but unfortunately only some of them has beautiful icons. I’ve tried to collect some apps that I believe have pretty icons. Just like the interface means a lot to the user experience, I actually think the icon does as well. Some software developers understands this, and some unfortunately don’t.
…WebKit is an open source browser engine. Apple uses WebKit in Safari, Mail, and other applications. Google’s Chrome browser, along with the S60 browser and the iPhone browser, is also built on WebKit. Some of the cool features of WebKit is transitions and transforms.

…Social networking has eventually become crucial for surviving (!), and it seems there are endless posibilities as to finding the right ones to be part of. For me, it all started with Facebook about two years ago. My friends tried to convince me to sign up, and I finally gave in. Since then, Facebook has developed in to a commercial monster, and I hardly log on anymore.
…When I first started out doing web design, and other types of design, I looked for people to get inspired by. I’m not only inspired by their graphical work, but also by their methods of working and acting on the Internet. I’ve tried to collect a list of people I get inspired by. These guys are amongst the greatest artists out there right now, so you should have a look at their work. For each person, I’ve collected some great interviews that I hope you’ll enjoy reading.
