Thought this post was an interesting look at good and bad design decisions. Turns out it originated (sort of) at Brand New.
One of the only (yup, probably the only) fictional authors I read is an incredibly talented (and slightly demented) man named Chuck Pahlaniuk. My interest in him began with Fight Club some 10 years ago and has since developed into my reading everything he’s published. Most recently, my interest has resulted in me devouring his [...]
Thought it would be worth mentioning that Greg Boyd will be speaking at Mars Hill on the 29th of this month.
Worth going. Definitely worth going.
There is also a new tour planned, called Calling All Peacemakers. Check out its website. Unfortunately it only seems to be a european tour. The tour seems to be based off [...]
Just a note - in case anyone is interested in a) preparing and running a podcast or b) formatting their own video for play on both iPods and iTV, Apple has some information up about how best to do it. Check it out.

I just finished reading a great piece from The New York Times in which Fincher and other crew members were interviewed concerning their roles in Fincher’s upcoming movie Zodiac.
One of the questions asked at the Q+A the other night was “How can I be as knowledgeable as you are?” This is an interesting question in itself, but even better was the answer. Rob said to go to MarsHill.org and request his reading list using the contact form. You can do this yourself (I [...]
I had the pleasure of traveling to the University of Michigan tonight and seeing Rob Bell (again!) during a Q+A and book signing for his new book Sex God. I found out through a good friend that Rob was touring for his new book (and still is) so I gathered together those interested and [...]
This was originally published in Issue 2 of The Huntingtonian on October 12th, 2006. More of my thoughts on this topic may be found in this post.

I found this very interesting. A post on a different blog talks about the design techniques used by architects and casino owners to influence the gamblers in different ways. Check it out.
My name is Ryan, and I am a freelance web developer. Turns out I also enjoy blogging. Read more.
