Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
So Gawker.tv posted about my Star Wars Subway Car video today, but instead of embedding my video from YouTube like the rest of the Internet does, they ripped it from YouTube and uploaded it to their own site without permission. So I get no credit for any of the views of the video on their site. How nice! Also, by uploading their own ripped version of the video, they can prevent me from seeing any AdSense revenue and focus on making their own money from the ads surrounding the post. Awesome! And they link to Buzzfeed at the end of the post rather than, you know, linking to the group that made the video they ripped off. Cool! Oh, and to top it off, they throw in a little snarky comment about this being an upgrade from our previous antics. Sweet!
Thanks Gawker.tv! It’s such an honor to have you take my content in full and use it for your own benefit!
UPDATE: Gawker.tv fixed this at my request.

There’s a tonne of posts today about the slick new Safari Reader feature I linked to yesterday. As someone who enjoys reading decent content online, I totally welcome it. I’ve used readability / Instapaper bookmarklets for some time - both on my Mac and iPhone - and, if I’m honest, I’m surprised…
Apple & The League of Moveable Type
Did anyone else notice that all the fonts used in Apple’s HTML5 typography showcase are from my favourite open source font collection?
Kudos to the font creators, who were no doubt ecstatic about featuring on Apple’s homepage.
Clients From Hell: The Forbidden Fruit
Client: Hey, just one final question before I send the deposit. Do you use a PC or a MAC?
Me: I use a MAC.
Client: That is a problem. Do you have access to a PC? I am not a supporter of Apple products.
Me: No, I don’t have access to a PC, but this will have little to no effect on the work…
Marco.org: The ad delusion
Have you ever met any of those brainwashed advertising people who believe that regular people like their ads and see them as content and are dying to see more?
Whoever added these arrows to AdSense is one of those people.
Someone involved with this truly believed that enough people want to…

Gorgeous photo and lighting. Shame about the signature being in the upper-right, but a tip: Change your setting to “Center” from “Fill screen” and it won’t be as much of an issue.
My current wallpaper.
A little humor with the Woz.

Adobe CS5 Icons
idsgn’s piece on the CS5 icons is lovely, but that still doesn’t change the fact that the new icons are just as gut-wrenchingly awful as they were before.
For Photoshop, I’ll still be using Sebasstian de With’s brilliant “CrashyShop” replacement icon, and I suggest you do the same.
