I missed blogging but I'd prefer I wouldn't have to talk about this stuff...

Yet another complete rip-off of my design @ ryanjpowell.com (the guy doesn't even deserve a linkback)

Thanks to Steve Leggat for letting me know (Steve was also ripped-off on the about section)

@15:10 - it seems he got the email and took the site down for good

Today I was reading some news and came across with the new Google Talk service: chatback.

I thought it was a really good idea and started implementing it on this site right away, so that my future clients could reach me quicker on a first approach.
The problem is that there's no control over who uses it, since the code is universal (it's really just an iframe). Everyone can copy/paste your code and use it on whichever site they like. Worst case scenario: spamming bots all over the place.

Google could implement an API system, like they did with Google Maps, and something a bit safer than an iframe.

A good alternative is the flash-driven widget meebo me, completely customizable and way safer.

A couple of days ago, when I was wandering through the interwebs and reading some blogs here and there, I thought to myself: "I wanna start a blog! Hey, I have a blog!".

I do have this blog, but it's constantly being neglected, forgotten or my writting skills just don't make the cut.
It's time for a change: expect both design and development technical articles and ordinary ramblings, whether it's about the latest gadget or a simple image that struck my mind.
This is what blogging shout be about: to share your experiences and visions of the world, that's what enriches the whole internet world.

I've also updated my Portfolio with a couple of works.

Also, as a bonus, I'll leave you with a great video - this is how I live my life:

Kanye released the first single and video of his upcoming album Graduation called Stronger last month - you can see it here.

The sample is from the awesome tune Harder, Better, Faster and Stronger of Daft Punk, who also appear in the clip.

Stronger was directed by Hype Williams and was shot in Japan. It has obvious references to Akira and the album art was produced by the great Takashi Murakami

All seems perfect except for the typos in the clip. That's right, Kanye tried to keep it cool and include some Katakana characters...

Starting with ストソガ (sutosoga ~ doesn't mean a thing) instead of ストロンガー (sutoronga ~ Japanese for stronger, translated from the English sound) - come on man, an error like that on the title?

And a typo on ガンバレ (ganbare ~ Japanese for go for it, fight or hang in there) - in the clip you can see ガソバレ (gasobare) - appear not once, but twice. These are very similar characters that only differ in the stroke point of origin, but even so...

Couldn't he afford a proofreading team?

Long time no blogging! Well, yeah, I've been busy.

I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of Web Design Index 7 - that's the official page, if you want to buy it go to pepinpress.com.
Guess who's on it... That's right, keoshi.com. I was so happy when I saw this.

Thanks everyone for your support - this is very important to me.
