Apple does it again…
I found out about Apple’s latest toy, Airport Express with AirTunes, last week and am chomping at the bit to get my hands on one (or three) of these things. Airport Express is a very small, very versatile wireless access point. If you haven’t heard about (or seen) this great little device, here is the scoop. It is the size of Apple’s square AC adapter or an Ipod wall adapter. After plugging it into the wall, you can plug the following into it, a USB printer, a stereo and a computer and have an instant printer server, streaming music hub or a internet access point (which seems a bit mundane compared to the other great things that this gadget does.).
Read up on AirTunes here.

Burn baby burn.
Having been battling the effects of creative burnout lately, I have been looking for any way to restoke my creative fire. In doing so, I have found many great design forums with great posts that inspire the imagination. I have also found solace in my iPod, which has always been pulling me out of slumps. Here are some tips that I use to get back into the design groove.
Take a step back and breathe - Don’t burn your wick to the bottom. Take a deep breath, get outside, read a book, take a walk, listen to some music, do something but create. The thoughts and creativity that you need can come from the least likely places.
Experiment with other media - I am looking forward to an upcoming video project to alleviate my current Web site workload. Taking pictures or sketching can also provide a welcome diversion when you really need it.
If you don’t have a looming deadline, take a break - Just get away from work for a while. That’s all.
I hope that these tips can help a few people out. I know that I am going to use a follow a few of them this weekend.

2 great articles in 1 week
I just stumbled across another GREAT article on Evolt.org giving the “typical” Web users needs and wants. I suggest printing this out and fastening it to your wall, desk, sketchpad or computer monitor, whichever you stare at the most. I am USER, hear me roar!
