I like to write CSS just as much as the next guy but a resource like Clean CSS can not only save time but also help you to continue writing CSS in some of the best practices and standards.

I don’t want to go into Clean CSS in too much detail because it does exactly what name implies, it cleans your CSS. With a few great and easy to use features Clean CSS will get you up and going with a new and tidy style sheet in no time. I urge you to try it out, see what you think and report back with some comments or pass on the word.

enjoy.

I stumbled upon a great tool to work your designs over with clients. The program has been out for awhile but I haven’t really gotten to using it until recently. That piece of software is called Skitch.

As a web designer sometimes I don’t want to boot up adobe photoshop, point out items on a graphic and then re-save it and send it off. Skitch is not a very intensive program so it boots up in a second, you edit what your crap then drag and drop it directly from the program into something like your email, desktop or whatever. I feel this is a great tool to communicate certain items with your clients quick and easily. All the is for low low price of FREE! (click to signup)

WAIT there’s more! (as those sales types say) and I don’t feel like I can explain it as well as the good people over at Skitch can so if your interested check out the 3min video on the website. (look at the very bottom of the page)

Downfall: No Windows version. Only Mac (if you click here you will go straight to the sign up page)

I have admired what the guys do over at Hak5 for a while now. So, i decided to approach Darren Kitchen, one of the hosts of the show (Shannon Morse co-hosts along side with Darren) in the Revision3 live chat.

Darren first set me on the task to drawn the entire cast of Hak5 along with some show mascots: WIFI Pineapple and Network Monkey (my illustrations were used for the intro of Season 6). My second task was to create both a background and postcard for promotional uses. Finally Darren approached me not knowing what he was going to do for the Season 7 graphics. So, we scraped together a concept and I did the vector graphics for him you can see them on the upcoming episodes of Hak5.

I just finished up a new logo for CNET’s new CNET LIVE show preGAME. What is preGAME you might ask?, well this is what it says on the website: preGAME gives you all of the week’s gaming news and highlights you care about. Hosts Jeff Bakalar and Mark Licea bring you live in-house demos of the hottest games a week before they’re released and give you a sneak peek at what’s to come with live commentary, reactions, and interviews with the people behind the games.

The first show lasted only 15min but was jam packed with awesome tid bits of new game releases, video game banter/jokes, and a first look at BIOSHOCK 2

So, if your interested in video games at all you gotta check out this show and if you don’t like video games you just gotta check out the pretty graphics (muahhhahahahaha!). Check it out and tell me what you think by leaving a comment, digg it, or whatever.

Also don’t forget to check out CNET’s other shows (especially the 404 because i helped make that CNET show look pretty too!) and if you really wanna show me some deigner love you gotta go vote that shit up on logopond! Every little bit counts.
