Apparently it’s “blog to make Jeff happy day.” Great stuff from Greg here, reminding us of the difference between purists and perfectionists, and also reminding us that it’s good to not be an asshole. Visit site »

Although I didn’t complain about SXSWi’s crowdsourcing of the panels last year, I definitely think with this year’s insane number of submissions, it’s not going to work very well. People with a “name” aren’t going to have a chance. Maybe that’s what SXSW wants. But with 683 submissions and only 80 slots, there’s no doubt in my min that it’s going to be nothing but a popularity contest. Oh well — there’s always the parties. Visit site »

Greg isn’t so excited about “blaghs” anymore. I’m kind of with him. I enjoy the content of blogs and the commentary they provide — but I’m very sick of the cookie-cutter-ness of them, especially from a design perspective. I, too, miss the old days when hitting a new personal site meant a completely different experience than the last one. Visit site »
Greg Storey on the ripoff of the day, and the ripoff process in general. We designers really need to band together to do something about this — it is really hurting our industry. There are way too many hacks in this field, and we need to find a way to educate consumers of design so they don’t keep giving business to hacks instead of professionals. Visit site »
