I found these somewhat creepy real-life versions of cartoon and game characters the other day. They’re really well done, but I have to admit, I think I appreciate the animated versions of the characters a lot more.

This video will ring home as ever so true to any designer out there. The clients who want to micromanage every part of the process, but tell you to “do what you do best” and “be creative, we trust you.” You would think that designing a stop sign would be a pretty straightforward process, but alas, our hero discovers otherwise. Have a watch and a laugh.

404 Creative moves to new host
I finally got off my backside and decided to move everything on the 404creative.com domain to my mediatemple hosting account. I had outgrown the prior host in a number of ways and felt like it was time to get it done.
That being said, if you see anything strange for a day or so (stranger than usual anyhow) it might be that we’re in the middle of the DNS propagation.

I’ve finally updated the Iron Man Wallpaper page with a few different offerings. I hope you enjoy them… download one or all.

In recent times anyone can easily start web hosting business. Even a small investor can offer hosting services by purchasing virtual dedicated hosting packages. Along with hosting services people should offer free domain name and web templates to make their business a success. In this regard they need to have good command on business software for which they should obtain basic IT knowledge in the form of 646-171. Additionally 640-801 and 646-392 certification can also prove very handy for such people.
As the ubiquitous (and crappy) IE browser begins to wane in popularity, it's increasingly more important for developers to focus on cross-browser development. "Works on my machine" just isn't a suitable answer anymore folks.
