The New MacBook Air Has Arrived
The new MacBook Air has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch track pad all packed into a sleek frame that weighs only 3.0 pounds. The new MacBook also has a 1280-by-800 resolution screen which gives you vibrant images and rich colors, along with 2 gigs of ram standard, but two things concern me.
One of the coolest pieces of technology I have seen so far this year is Dell’s new crystal 22-inch widescreen flat panel monitor. The award winning new crystal display took home the highest design honor at the prestigious Consumer Electronics Show (CES Best of Innovations 2008).
Culture Club is an insane club in Belgium with an even more insane website. Their website was created by the creative masterminds at Glossy.tv which is home to a super creative design studio that provides graphic design and art direction services.

UPrinting is a high-quality online printing company that has been providing businesses and designers with quality printing services for over 25 years. I came across www.uprinting.com when I was searching for a new online printer to print my new business cards. I was looking for companies who offered free samples of their work and U Printing happened to be one of the printing companies who was, so I listed them in my article 10 Free Print Sample Kits and ordered some free samples.
We have finally created a You the Designer Flickr group so you guys can showcase your designs and gain some exposure. I look forward to seeing all of your work displayed in the group photo pool. We have also added a widget in our sidebar under the sponsor banners that will display your work at random if you join the group and submit your best designs.
