Recently released into private beta was the phenomenal piece of software, Dropbox, which allows speedy and seamless folder syncing over the internet. I find it an invaluable addition to my Mac, but unfortunately, it’s icons stick out a bit. But wait… I make icons. Problem solved.
This pack of icons does three things, all independently available for you to pick and choose.
1) Changes the icon of Dropbox to a more Mac-like look
2) Changes the menu bar icon to a black and white one that fits in better. While it transfers, it turns blue to alert you.
3) For those of you that installed Colorful Leopard, I have made a dropbox folder icon that fits in with the Colorful Leopard theme. It also has a small version that appears in the Leopard Sidebar that fits with the rest of the sidebar icons.
This icon set is all about fitting in. Check it out in the Portfolio!

It was the last day of February that this website moved from Freewebs to our own hosting, and I gave it a whole new Wordpress design. As you know if you are reading this, I’ve changed the design again. I feel that I’ve finally achieved what I want in my site.
The first iteration of this site that I was actually proud of was similar to the one you see now, except the background was translucent white atop green grass. While I liked the look, it lacked a certain professionalism and practicality. When I moved the site to the new domain, I decided to completely revamp it. What emerged was on the other end of the spectrum. Very practical, and while it was nice, it wasn’t attractive to me.
This third iteration of the site stems from how much I like the first version, while instead using black, which I feel lends a more mature and professional air. The new site is structured so that you can get to what you want without dealing with anything else. No need to see the blog if you really just want the portfolio, no need to look at Photos when you wanted Logos. The homepage greets you with four choices, and you choose one. Simple and elegant. Just the way I like it.
Please be brutally honest and tell me what you think! Sound off in the comments below!

The English language is the most pieced together language on Earth. It has the most words, the most idiotic pronunciations, and the weirdest rules. Just imagining attempting to learn English as a foreign language gives me the shivers.
I’ve collected some poems about English that exemplify reasons for my annoyance. They give a chuckle, and also make you realize how stupid some things are:

Dear Sarah Lacy,
I would have felt sorry for you. But I all could do was feel sorry for Mark Zuckerberg, no matter how horrible Facebook is, it could never live up to that interview. You cut him off, you blabbed about your own book, you pretended like you two were best of pals. Then when it became apparent that you sucked, you yelled at the audience. Then you had the guts to say that you thought it went WELL? You’re not all you crack yourself up to be.

And by the by, Upstart Blogger is giving away a MacBook Air and five iPhones. Worth a look.

Back when I had my first Mac of my own, I engaged in the Mac vs. PC wars all the time. It irritated me so that the “Windows fanboys” would pull the “can a Mac do games” card over and over.It still irritates me to this day, but now the reason it irritates me is because it’s incredibly stupid and petty. I don’t care what you think is the better computer. I love my Mac and am incredibly glad I have it. That’s all that matters to me. I don’t have to deal with viruses, 20 security programs, or Windows.If you like Windows, or just can’t afford a Mac, and you decide to trash Macs, or if you love Macs and decide to trash PCs, it doesn’t matter to me. Me and my Mac will sit down and watch the fight.
