Create your own Google style logo: Google Logo Maker
And speaking of Google, Google's stock is getting killed tonight in after hours trading because earnings were not as good as expected. Read all about it on the Internet Stock Blog.
And finally, some great reading from Joel on Software:
My problem with cell phone design is that I can't figure out which button to press to answer a call. Sometimes I wind up turning off the phone.
Design, for my purposes, is about making tradeoffs.
Design is something you only have to pay for once for your product.
So this is what I'm talking about when I say "Great Design." It's that ineffable quality that certain incredibly successful products have that makes people fall in love with them despite their flaws.
And I love this paragraph:
"Every time I read Jakob Nielsen," I wrote in 2000, "I get this feeling that he really doesn't appreciate that usability is not the most important thing on earth. Sure, usability is important (I wrote a whole book about it). But it is simply not everyone's number one priority, nor should it be. You get the feeling that if Mr. Nielsen designed a singles bar, it would be well lit, clean, with giant menus printed in Arial 14 point, and you'd never have to wait to get a drink. But nobody would go there; they would all be at Coyote Ugly Saloon pouring beer on each other."
