Chrome Daydream
Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.
The notebook changes its cover every month. Each one takes its cues from a different corner of music, paper and internet culture. Explore the collection below.
Haunted Notebook is here through November 1. Coffee Shop Confessional takes over November 2.
Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.
Cassette ribbons, red-pen hearts and pink paper. For anyone who ever put too much thought into a mixtape.
Vines wind around the speakers and flowers take over the margins. Spring gets the volume knob.
Pixel ghosts, cherries and electric blue meet the notebook doodles. A little arcade cabinet in the margins.
The pink splashes, coffee ring and black doodles that started it, with the volume turned up. The notebook's home colours.
Peel-and-stick chaos: skulls, butterflies, hearts and neon lightning. Think of the back of your favourite battered laptop.
Torn tickets, halftone fragments and bright scraps. A cover that borrows the rough edges of a wall full of gig flyers.
Black ink, torn paper and acid-yellow sparks. A love letter to photocopied zines and the flyers you kept after the show.
Stars, speakers, tape and every loud colour at once. Back-to-school stationery with absolutely no restraint.
Moths, little ghosts and crimson ink creep through the black flourishes. The notebook has a late-night alter ego.
Coffee rings, headphones and warm paper. A cover for the long walk home and the track you play again when you get there.
Moons, moths and constellations spill across midnight-blue ink. The margins drift into space; the music keeps going.

Let's be frank here for a minute. The only reason that I use a hardware email client is for the instant search capabilities that I have. I was an early adopter of gmail and one of my favourite features was the instant search speed of the google servers. When you wanted to find a key word it would look at a huge number of emails instantly and the search provided relevant results too! When I started using multiple emails on different domains I quickly needed to find an email client to aggregate multiple accounts and gmail didn't seem to fit...

I have been looking for a few more ways to improve this site and lately I have added Disqus to handle all the comment and trackbacks for ColdplaySucks, just some mostly under the hood improvements!

Well a long time ago I was going to write a tutorial about how to get that weird glare out of eyes in Photoshop, basically the idea is to make two masks around the glare and lower the brightness or saturation until it looks normal. Now, in iOS 5, we get one touch red eye correction, huzzah, finally iPhoto meets the iPhone.

[caption id="attachment_1259" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="The new box for OS X Lion? Think again, Lion will be digitally distributed only."][/caption] As far as I know OS X Lion is coming to the world and Canada on July 22, 2011. The new OS is going to be distributed only on Apple's internal App Store and will be at the low $30 price point much like the release of Snow Leopard. Clearly this low price point has worked well for Apple by encouraging early-adoption while simultaneously discouraging piracy. I think that this is not a sustainable price for consumers though, I was recently...
