Look Behind Our Shirts: Shirt.Woot Exposed!
An extensive photo documentation of Woot screen printing their shirts. Very cool.

Original Design Gangsta
For all the designers in da house. A video rhymin’ and mixin’, terminology from the creative world we live in.

Age, Entrepreneurship, Productivity, Precocity
As time passes, so does opportunity. A bit of number and factor crunching to get your ass in gear.

Putting the Del.icio.us Lesson into Practice, Part II: Feature Creep
Features are great, when needed. But if they’re let lose, they can creep into every nook and crany, and result in what’s known as ugaly-as-myspac-a-citis.

Cycle of a Fan
An illustrated look at the difference between being a customer and being a fan.

Chrysler Rebranding
Looks a little less ugly, I guess.

Taberu Me: Peanuts as business cards
Your paper business cards suck in comparison to my nuts. (nastiest pun you’ll ever hear from me)

Eric Staller: Light Drawings
Light art has been getting quite a bit of publicity lately. But these gorgeous captures date back to the late 70s, while today’s artsies were still in diapers.

9 Ways to keep hucksters, shucksters and slimeballs at arms length when starting your own business
How to avoid those “turn your dollar into $13,426.53″ jerks, and save yourself from plenty of headaches and lawsuits.

The new ProBlogger is up
Title says it all. And may I add, about damn time Mr. Rowse!

Baker’s Edge
Who doesn’t love the crunchy edges of brownies? Now everyone can.

10 Ways to Write a Great Lead for a Blog Post
Great articles are nothing without a great lead. Bookmark this goody.

Is good enough enough?
Deadlines and restraints usually result in “good enough”. But what if you changed your objective?

The Ten Most Obnoxiously Overquoted Movies
If you ask for the TPS reports one more time, I’m, going, to, SNAP!!!

An Interview With Ben Gillbanks from Miniclip
We featured and loved one of Ben’s Miniclip games not too long ago. Now, our beloved young go getter, Adnan, went one step further and interviewed him. Great job Adnan.

    That over quoted movies post really did miss the mark on a few. Seriously…Wedding Crashers quotes over Scarface?

    Oh Chrysler, it’s just a different kind of ugly really. Like the new ProBlogger design though.

    … SPARTTAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

    The new ProBlogger design is questionable IMO

    Did anyone else initially confuse the “Recently at the Blog” bar on the left of the ProBlogger homepage as a Google Adsense unit?

    Overall the ProBlogger design isn’t all that bad, though a tad busy. Was it as busy before the redesign? The expression on the still capture of this week’s video post is priceless though.

    As for Chrysler… the rebrand was neither a step forward or backwards. Both are equally ugly, so it’s just money wasted (I guess that counts as stepping backwards though). I wonder how this’ll affect the emblem on the cars.

    The first thing I thought of when I saw Problogger was Copyblogger:

    http://www.copyblogger.com/

    Nonetheless, the new site is much easier to read. The typography on the old PB was gawd awful.

    Nice list. Quick question - at what age do you stop being a “young” go getter?

    Never, as long as your business approach isn’t stodgy and you have the motivation a kid fresh out of b-school has.

    Also, as long as you don’t start every sentence with “when I was a kid”, you can be considered a young go getter. :)
