You knew it was coming. You've seen enough of commercials for cd compilations with the song "Awesome God" on it to know that there's enough of a market for this stuff. You got Guitar Hero, you got people who buy Christian sh*t, put 'em together, voilà -- inevitability. It's got everything a Christian guitar player wannabe needs: Offers over 50 songs with 4 levels of play per song Onscreen lyrics reflect Christian values. Vocalists can ...

Sean Salisbury is at a transitional period in his life and talks rapidly — almost haphazardly — about anything that pops into his head. He's overtly defensive at times, and in our almost 2-hour phone conversation yesterday, he went through a deliberate unloading process. It was therapeutic, unhinged, and veered dangerously close to being completely out of control and incomprehensible during certain segments. Sure, it might be a calculated move for him to agree to ...

I love ampersands. And interest in this quirky character seems to be on the rise as of late. Case in point: Just last week, I purchased not one, but two t-shirts adorned with nothing more than an ampersand. That's telling, no? For much of last year, I had a little portion of a presentation dedicated to using CSS to serve up alternate, compelling ampersands. It's also something I've done here on SimpleBits for quite awhile ...

While down in Florida last month, I found out that my parents' next-door neighbors (and good friends) were selling their house. I was a little bummed, as they are good folks and you hate to see them leave.But I was even more bummed when I saw the point-and-shoot specials the real estate agent had thrown up on the "for sale" page. We only had one working flash. But certainly we could do better than that...__________One ...

I don't know if comic strip genius Bill Watterson would like this version of his worldwide-beloved Calvin and Hobbes/Jobs—who morphs from philosophical tiger to killer CEO—, but we approve. Actually, it made me laugh and wish for new strips. The drawing may not be as good as the original, but Jobs' physique and attitude feels absolutely spot on. Update: another series after the jump.

They’ll do much better after they get tired of sitting there and lose themselves in play and start to circle their bikes and drag their toys through the grass and mark the sidewalks with colored chalk. When that lemonade stand sits in the middle of lazy games of tag, carefree laughter and flashes of stained gingham and sun-bleached hair, no passing neighbor will be able to resist. That sweating pitcher will glow with innocence and ...

In New York's Queens borough, there's a group of Trinidiadian teens who trick out their BMX bikes with insane sound systems. Directors Nicolas Randall and Joe Stevens shot a short documentary about the scene. Creative Review has more still photos and a video clip from the film, titled Made In Queens. Amazing stuff.

This is something that's been on my mind for some time now, probably a few years: How do we select the particular words that are linked within a sentence or paragraph, and does it matter for the user? Here's an example: John Coltrane’s 'A Love Supreme' is on sale at iTunes for just $7.99. How would you choose to link that up, and why? Is one more "effective" than the other, however you define that? ...

I'd say "John Coltrane’s 'A Love Supreme' is on sale at iTunes for just $7.99. CLICK HERE" and put the click here in a blink tag.

Chances are, you probably find the above image confusing. Confusing like that time you threw all of your slingback mules into a shopping bag and then couldn’t figure out which pairs went together. Let me try helping: On the left is Anderson Cooper, the silver-haired anchor with a penchant for boyish giggling, and handily the most cuddly thing to ever happen to any news network ever. On the right, Anderson Pooper, a silver-furred feline belonging ...

Honestly, I had forgotten that Hunter S. Thompson had written for Page 2 until I watched “Gonzo,” the new documentary about Mr. Duke (produced by my old pal Mark Cuban). I’m pretty embarrassed to have forgotten it; it’s like I blocked it out. I suspect many of you feel the same way; those columns were pretty bad. I did not grow up with Hunter S. Thompson as a hero. Rolling Stone was waning in relevance ...

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, iPod Family, iPhone, MobileMe Many commenters and bloggers hither and yon have noticed that MobileMe lacks "true push" capabilities, even though Apple uses the "push" buzzword extensively to describe MobileMe services. A commenter in a MacRumors thread about the subject took screenshots from Apple's site, showing they had removed the phrase "Push happens automatically, instantly, and continuously." In its place, Apple clarifies that changes from the iPhone and web apps ...
