  • Free Texture Pack: Miscellaneous Textures 2

    This texture pack is a hodge-podge of random objects and textures that have the common theme that they were all taken from an old house.  Screens, mesh, old fabric, vintage wallpapers and retro-tastic heating vents to add to your collection.  All images were taken at 2272×1704, large enough to do pretty much whatever you want.…

  • Street Art by BEST | EVER

    BEST | EVER is a street art duo from Bournemouth, England.  Their work combines surrealism with photorealism and addresses issues of human frailty, weakness, disease and death.  As you can imagine, the art of BEST | EVER transcends simple graffiti with their hauntingly beautiful images.  The subversive act of applying paint to public surfaces forces…

  • Free Desktop Wallpaper: Forecast

    Okay I admit it.  I have been reading too many steampunk novels recently because this is what spilled out of my subconcious when I sat down to create a new wallpaper.  Clockwork, ancient tomes filled with long lost technology, a mixture of organic a…

  • Jumping on the webfont bandwagon

    Webfonts are literally changing the face of web design (no pun intended). Even just between the time I wrote my last post on @font-face and now, there have been numerous additions to best practices and available services for invoking new, creative typefaces in your web pages.  It’s dizzying getting started because there’s just so much…

  • The art of Jenevieve Hubbard

    We’ve been wanting to talk about art more.  As artists, we’re always interested in new and innovative things that other artists are doing.  Occasionally that applies to websites, but occasionally that applies to, you know, real art — tangible art you can look at and (possibly) touch and smell and experience.  I’m hoping that this…

  • Keeping your website safe

    Once upon a time, a long time ago, you could buy a new computer and not have to worry about what type of virus scan software you needed to load onto it.  Firewalls were things only extreme geeks and intrepid hackers knew anything about.  Adware, spyware and malware weren’t even words.  Those days are so…

  • GoDaddy-hosted sites at risk — WordPress, Joomla!, Pligg, ZenCart, others…

    Recently, there was a malicious attack on GoDaddy-hosted sites. It’s tough to track down the exact date of the original attack — I was first able to find a mention of it on Slashdot from 4/26, and I found a topic in the WordPress support forums that supported that approximate time. However, I also found…
