How we came up with the name for Iconza and later made its logo
We decided upon making a web application that would serve a collection of customizable icons. Any project needs a cool name and a logo. We started off with naming.
All you wanted to know about Turbomilk but were too shy to ask
Our zealous readers must remember how we hosted our dear guests from Dominion this July. And prior to that we had paid a visit to that wonderful studio ourselves where we were treated with some tea and a Q&A session. So, what kind of questions can site builders have to interface designers? Luckily we got all the moves on paper and nothing will prevent us from sharing it.

articlesWacom Bamboo Fun M Pen&Touchemailtoid.net/i/27187ea2/…: Thanks for sharing :) I have an ANCIENT wacom tablet (not even sure what the model is) and Im looking to get a new one...you know... that works. I really like painting in photoshop so I was kind of planning to get an Intuos 4 medium, but I hear that the rough surface on them causes you to go through pen nibs like crazy. The bamboo is tempting because of the price, and it may be a good solution since Im not even sure if I will like using a tablet.

articlesLooking for an alternative to Basecamp: review of PBworks Project Editionclaimid.com/kylekeller: Nice post, especially your part about how to look for these tools. I spent some time playing around and settled on ProjectSpaces -- www.projectspaces.com, because although it did not have every feature in the book, I was able to easily setup projects and not have to take too much time training clients on how to use it. Might want to give it a shot too.
