Pixels Go Mad - The Celebration Of Pixel Art
via Smashing Magazine by Vitaly Friedman & Sven Lennartz on May 04, 2008

"Constraints drive innovation and force focus," according to 37Signals in their popular "Getting Real" book. If that's true, then Copyblogger's Twitter Writing Contest, announced a couple of weeks ago, should have had writers brimming with creativity. The task? Write a short story in 140 characters.

via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on May 31, 2008
Rahul Sood, the CTO of HP’s gaming systems division (formerly VoodooPC), has found a new use for the MacBook Air: slicing cake.
