• Master of My Domain – Looking back at my personal site, I’m no longer the master of my domain. The question remains, is there a point of personal site anymore?
• Sigma 70-300mm – Some test photos from my new macro lens. I’m addicted to Craigslist for cheap goods.

Blogs from Elsewhere

• Maxing Out Your Triangle – Jeff Cheng recently quit his job to pursue something he loves. In this article, he illustrates the aspects of growth, stability and excitement. I think it’s a wonderful thing to pursue one’s passion. However, it all depends on where you are in life, doesn’t apply to all.
• The “O” in Obama – Sol Sender is the designer who created the Obama campaign logo. In this interview with the NY Times, he gives a lot of behind the scene details. Good read.
• Don’t Follow Trends: Set Them! -The article Dmitry wrote for Smashing Magazine echos what I’ve felt for a long time. It’s interesting to read the comment section where people get offended about “web design is not art.”
• Dumbing Down the Cloud -Rand’s take on cloud computing
• It is like I made it myself! – Paul Smith steals Robert Hodgin’s bird print. It happens quite often in design industry. What I find amazing is Robert’s handling of it, or none of.

Funny Stuff

• 25 Motivational Posters – Yes we all have seen the fake ones. These are funny still.
• Photo Mistakes – similar to the “Accidental Photos” I posted last week. This one is a video compilation.
• Ninja Cat – I honestly can’t tell if this is funny or just creepy.
