Advertising may be the only business in the world where the clients with the most money can make demands until they get the agency’s worst product, while the small client with little to spend must meekly accept the agency’s best.

I didn’t quite get the photos that I would have liked to, due to a couple tall guys in front. But these turned out okay.

Ever since I’ve become friends with jQuery, I’ve found that using # inside an anchor href has become occasionally overly jealous and sometimes outright psychotic. After these past incidences, which usually fall in line with using fun stuff like localScroll and scrollTo, I’ve decided to tell # to # sand, and strictly go with javascript:; inside my href.

As # works as an anchor reference point, for the top of your page, you can imagine it may get in the way of content sliders and other plugins and scripts that make use of a #’d href.

It is especially nice for sharing between a Mac, PC or Linux. You’ll have a Dropbox folder on each computer and the files you wish to share residing in it. Modify a file in one of the folder, and the files on the other computers are updated immediately.

Should you accidentally delete one of the files from a computer you are at, you can log into your online account and undelete the file, as it’s stored temporarily on the dropbox servers. Watch the video!

The much anticipated Ten Stones album has just been released by my favorite artist Woven Hand. You can purchase the album online at Sounds Familyre Records.

“…he travels deep into the thicket of human depravity and rails with an intensity more indebted to the Great Awakening than any modern musical touchstone. Spicing paraphrased passages from the King James Bible with sawdust frontier parlance, Edwards fashions archaic constructions similar to Will Oldham’s. But where Oldham sings about death and redemption (on I See A Darkness and elsewhere), Edwards exhumes the corpse. The best of his songs are so ripe that you can smell their sulfur and creosote.” — Dusted 2005

They will not labor in vain,
Or bear children for calamity;
For they are the offspring of those blessed by the LORD,
And their descendants with them.
Isaiah 65:23
