i know i never blog much here, and i know that for the 2 of you who read this(my mum and myself), it’s quite painful to not hear random nonsense from me on a daily basis.  well, it’s a new year and i thought why not start blogging more?!   then i remembered i don’t have a lot of free time to blog and threw that idea out the window, but i will try my best to at least post more regular updates.

with that in mind, here’s my first post of 2011 and it’s aptly nerdy.  i found a post the other day from the good folks at Web Designish of the 38 best CSS3 tutorials of 2010.  there’s some cool stuff in there…ok your idea of cool and my idea of cool are probably vastly different, but cool is subjective really and to me this stuff is cool!  back off!

the web and how we designers create our work is literally changing everyday which can be a pain to some.  the beauty though is that while it’s rapidly changing, it’s also getting a hell of a lot better and easier to create the things you envision and until now had to rely on trickery, hacks and, in most cases, compromise.  anyways, go check out the link to learn cool stuff like rounded corners, flash-less animation, shadows, etc.

to start off this new section, i feel compelled to respond to the trainwreck that was the 2010 olympic closing ceremonies.  they showcased only the lowest of the lowest common denominator bands.  the kind of shit you see on muchmusic 5000 times a day.  so, i give you a list of Canadian bands that i would have enjoyed more than the horrible horrible bands they featured tonight.(note: Neil Young is the exception.  i love the Neil!) (also note : i don’t necessarily like all these bands, but would have enjoyed them a heck of a lot more than what was presented)

here we go;

  • arcade fire
  • metric
  • tegan and sara
  • sloan
  • the dears
  • birthday boys
  • the guess who
  • rikers
  • stars
  • feist
  • rufus wainwright
  • broken social scene
  • emm gryner
  • coeur de pirate
  • lights
  • the racoon wedding
  • glass tiger
  • rush
  • organized rhyme
  • k’naan
  • ash koley
  • …more to come…seriously
