Nikon D80 †
Nikon announces the D80, a worthy successor to the D70/D70s line. I believe this will be my next camera. From the looks of eBay, I can still get a good bit for my D70 body. And a special treat, DPReview’s Hands-on Preview of the Nikon D80.
2007 SXSW Interactive Panel Proposal Picker †
2007 SXSW Interactive Panel Proposal Picker, take matters into your own hands and vote for the topics and panels you want to see most next year at SXSW. I have one proposal in under DIY/Creativity for a presentation entitled “After the Brief: A Field Guide to Design Inspiration”. We have some really great ideas planned, so please drop a vote in for it if that sounds interesting to you (and if you can brave the wonky interface). Otherwise, there are plenty more exciting topics!

Iconfactory redesigns †
Iconfactory Redesigns, it’s decidedly more blog-like (I already miss the unique personality of the old design), and I’m not a fan of the all-white logo, but on the whole, the site is much more usable and integrated with their wonderful offerings.
