At fotb06 I found out that I love AS3 since it practically looks and feel just like Java. As long as Flex doesn’t start to look and feel just like Swing I’ll be happy .. anyhow, just now I stumbled across this quote on (http://www.bash.org/?top2): Sigurd: a sprite is anything not static SRElysian: a sprite is a variable object SRElysian: be it 2d or 3d TorMuck: a sprite is a fucking soda TorMuck: you god damn geekass bastards It was so good I had to share it.

To my big surprise the top mover (upwards) was something called “Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corporation“.

If you haven’t lived under a rock the last couple of years, you’ve heard about the pirate bay, a search engine for .torrent files which (mostly) link to pirated material. May 31st the Swedish Police raided the hosting company where TPB was hosted, and shut down all the routers (not just TPB ones). Anyway, today – The Pirate Bay is back up – branded as “The Police Bay”, and with a fresh logo as well:

I’ve been waiting for this; Vitamin by Carson Systems. It’s branded as “Vitamin is a resource for web designers, developers and entrepreneurs”, and I first heard about it in a podcast a while ago.

Anyhow, looks promising and their design is just .
