Web 2.0-ified America
Q: What would the United States flag, dollar bill and square states look like if they were updated to web 2.0 standards?

Periodic Table of Typefaces

Buzz Lightyear (User) Experience
I was impressed by the Buzz Lightyear ride at Disneyland. First of all, the ride itself was really cool — they give you these laser guns to shoot at bullseyes on various robots and you get points for each hit.

Rock on, Buzz!
