Shades of Grey (with a bit of color)

The business cards I ordered from Moo arrived today. Considering they have been digitally printed, the quality is certainly good for the price. I particularly like the recycled card stock, a very subtle smooth texture with a visible grain. The design was rushed out this weekend in the hopes that they would be delivered in time for Glug — which I’ll be attending tonight. Selecting Caecilia for the typography was smart, and the color actually matches what I intended. Next time I order though I’ll make sure to make the design a bit more interesting.

iTunes 9 Media

Zach Holman notes that iTunes 9 incorporates a somewhat hidden feature that allows you to organize your media library into logical folders (Music, Movies, TV, Applications, Podcasts). Further, once you’ve upgraded, iTunes creates an “Automatically Add to iTunes” folder that permits drag and drop installation of media to the iTunes library. This could potentially be quite useful, as you would then assign it as your download folder for media and not have to think twice about organization.

IE6 Considered

As my earlier post made clear, I have dropped support for Internet Explorer 6 — the percentage of visitors to this site who are still running the browser is negligible. However, I feel compelled to offer a compromise. Andy Clarke posted a very clever solution on his site a few months ago; a notion to serve the same basic, content-focused stylesheet to all IE6 users. He was then gracious enough to host it at Google Code as well. I have implemented that universal stylesheet on this site. Enjoy
