Blogging For Exposure
So you're blogging. That's really great. You can say you have these altruistic motives for doing so, but at the end of the day, you're doing it to get exposure. This is especially critical in the .NET community, as there are hundreds of thousands of us lowly code monkeys vying for attention. So how do you make yourself stand out from the crowd? Simple Answer: Put your name in your blog title. You'd be surprised how quickly this affects your search placement with Google. Fire up your browser, and search for "Kirk Allen Evans" in Google. The 2nd result you'll see is his blog. That's important when a potential employer decides to Google your name to see what comes up. Scoble and others have noted that their blogging is what helped them get hired. [Robert McLaws: BoyWonder.NET]

Seamless City. Now this is an incredible project: Seamless City. Seamless City is a continuous visual image of the city [San Francisco] made up of sequential photos of a walk through the city shot from a pedestrian point of view. Each image is seamlessly visually connected to the next as the objects are in the real world. This will make an incredibly huge single image. Indeed it does!

CSS design championship. In keeping with our recent theme (standards-based design can be great design), we are pleased to point to The Open Championship, designed and hand coded in lightweight XHTML and CSS by the brilliant Todd Dominey. If you are a designer, he is the man to beat. [Jeffrey Zeldman Presents: The Daily Report]
More sexy standards-based sites. Three beautiful sites, one of them the home of a major commercial design product, convert to CSS layout and XHTML structure. All hail Hicks Design, Quark Inc., and Ten Years Ago in Spy. [Jeffrey Zeldman Presents: The Daily Report]
Adaptive Path: The Nine Pillars of Successful Web Teams. Jesse James Garrett. Formal titles, job descriptions, and reporting structures can vary widely. But the best teams I've encountered have one important thing in common: their team structure and processes cover a full range of distinct competencies necessary for success. [Tomalak's Realm]
Search For Sounds. Need to find a sound? Try FindSounds. Welcome to FindSounds.com, a free site where you can search the Web for sound effects and musical instrument samples.
