Recently fiddling with some favicon creation. I usually use The GIMP to do my image work including favicons but for whatever reason recently, one I was working on just would not render in Firefox (…IE was fine – go figure).

In my subsequent travels i found Favicon Builder.  Simply upload a gif, jpg or png image and it generates a favicon that rendered perfectly. The generated download is a zip archive with a readme file, animated icon as a gif, favicon ico and a couple of scaled png files. Very nice

A recent conversation with a friend reminded of an article i read in Wired magazine back in November 2006 on the genesis and development of the iPod.

I recall it being a really intersting story and it prompted me to look it up on the Wired site so here it is: The Perfect Thing.

Came across a very cool video posted on http://tastyblogsnack.com/2008/03/27/the-seo-rapper/.

Dated, but a great watch…

some interesting material around this featured in Wired magazine a little while ago in Straight Dope on the IPod’s Birth and in a more recent piece How Apple Got Everything Right By Doing Everything Wrong.
