A Badass Villain Chair? Leather, chrome steel, aluminum…Oh yeah! Now all I need are some henchmen and sharks with laser beams on their frickin’ heads…Oh, and the 7 big bills to pay for it. Well.. Maybe I’ll just be evil in my normal desk chair for now.

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.

Another good read by Mindy Wagner over at Web Designer Depot on mood boards for web projects..
- #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.
- #Wow. I'm amazed at the "process" the SDSU logo designers had to endure and just how little they were paid to deal with it. A designer's nightmare for sure.
- #I always wondered, but now I have confirmation that baking is gay.
- #Who knew the history of the "Honka Hoota" bike horn was so compelling? Those Australian synthetic material trees must have been a godsend...
- #I don't know what the point is or why I even found it noteworthy... maybe it's all the hoopla around the cheese carving or maybe it's just the dork that's carving it up. Is it art? I guess. Either way, it was an interesting way to kill a couple of minutes. Watch the video.
- #Sadly, Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch passed away this week. If you haven't already watched his "Last Lecture" you're missing out. I would definitely recommend taking the time out to watch the video or maybe buy the book. It's great stuff.
- #Who would have thought you could have so much mindless fun playing with a spider? I'm so easily entertained some days...
- #I've always been annoying, but a chance to make an easy $350 to be someones nemesis is just too hard to resist. Sign me up please..
- #Okay kiddies, turn on the way-back machine and lets go back to 1989 for a look at the original Photo-Shop version 0.87 icon.
