I just installed Chris Iufer’s Relay to make the downloads I store on my server more manageable and accessible. Although it’s still in beta it seems pretty solid and the installation went alright. If you’re looking for a nice directory manager, give Relay a go.

Those of you who’ve read about vertical rhythm and gave it a shot probably quickly ran into issues with line height for the paragraphs set in smaller fonts. Mark introduces a CSS solution to fine-tune the vertical rhythm.

90.8 percent of the comments that come in here are spam. Thank god for Askimet.

I just revamped the new oddend.com with a style that’s even more based on a simple grid and type. This new Wordpress theme is still in beta, keep that in mind when you encounter something weird.

Designer//Slash//Model almost made me wet myself. My designs are beautiful because I am beautiful. Thanks design fckr

Electric Pulp has a new earthy style. According to EP a frightening change but definitely one for the better if you ask me. I Love the team page. Thanks CSS Remix

I love Celia Calle’s work, especially when she uses the smooth, blended colors with hard black strokes. Check out her posts at her blogspot page.

GanttProject is a good, free tool if you don’t need the maze of features that Microsoft Project is drenched in.

In addition to the web developer toolbar, Firebug is a must have Firefox add-on for developers.

Dark Room is a nice, full screen, distraction free writing environment. For OSX get Write Room.

Zooming and picking color anywhere with Color Cop. Exactly enough features to make me very happy.

@icon sushi for favicons and icon libraries.

Feedreader helps me read my feeds.

TextPad 4 for the XHTML and CSS magic with the power where you need it.

Firefox is still king of the hill. Spiked with Chris Pederick’s Web Developer Toolbar and User Agent Switcher.

I am watching Grey’s Anatomy, Prison Break and Heroes.

Assassin’s Creed rocked mi sox, Halo 3 not so much, still not sure about Mass Effect but time will tell.

Superbad was hilarious. I also recommend Mr. Brooks and Reign Over Me, which I enjoyed more than I thought I would. I am disappointed by I Am Legend.

Leaving already? Take the RSS snacks.
