Top 5 Diggs of the Week

I spend a lot of time throughout the week on Digg.com digging various stories. I have a lot of interests so I digg a lot of items. Some items I digg never make it to the front page, but several do. Recently I added a page to this website that keeps track of my digging by tracking my 20 most recent diggs. That page can be found by clicking this link but I figured I would highlight some of my favorite stories this week.

  • 50 Beautiful CSS-Based Web-Designs in 2006 – 2006 was rich on creative, beautiful and unusual design concepts. We ’ve seen a lot of whitespace, many examples of readable and usable text-design, badges, stars, rounded corners, shapes, gradients, mirror and 3D-effects – just name it. Let’s take a close look at some of the most beautiful designs we’ve seen in 2006.
  • The best movie mistakes of all time – They’ve got the list updated for this week, month and for all time. Enjoy!!!! I like #18 in Top Gun. “At the end, a victorious Maverick is hoisted on the shoulders of the guys. As he goes up, he isn’t wearing sunglasses. His head goes out of the shot, and when he comes down, he’s wearing a pair.”
  • Leopard to include native GTK support in Quartz – According to a new post on O’Reilly.net, it appears that the next version of Apple’s OS X ‘Leopard’ will include native GTK support. It goal is to: “run Gtk+ applications without X11 on Mac OS X”. Sounds like good news for developers!
  • A Reminder: Linux != Windows – If you’ve been pointed at this page, then the chances are you’re a relatively new Linux user who’s having some problems making the switch from Windows to Linux. This causes many problems for many people, hence this article was written. Many individual issues arise from this single problem, so the page is broken down into multiple problem areas…

That is just a small sample of some stuff that I dugg over the last few days. If you have an account over on Digg.com, you are more than welcome to add me as a friend. My profile is at http://www.digg.com/users/mkoby. If you add me as a friend on Digg, please be sure to leave a comment on this post with your Digg username so that I can be sure to add you as well.

What to Buy This Christmas: Satellite Radio

This article is part of a series called “What to Buy This Christmas” and you can find parts One and Two here. This series of articles goes over this season’s biggest items and their competitors. Helping you, the reader, make informed purchase decisions this holiday season.

You only have a few shopping days left before Christmas so I suggest you get yourself to the store and pick out that perfect gift for that special someone. If you have a music fan on your list, there is probably no better gift for them than satellite radio. While I realize that some folks find it a bit absurd to pay for radio, just remember these same people probably have cable or satellite television.
