Wishing I could be at Refresh Seattle. Good luck, @ktamura!

Frank has some amazing illustrations available as 8”x8” print for a very reasonable $15. Each one is part of “a project I’m working on where I depict each state in our grand ol’ union as an illustration of every day things.” I love the Kansas one, and can’t wait to see the Washington one when it’s available.

…and New York, and San Francisco, and Chicago. For Seattle, they’re planning a party in mid-July and “some bigger event” in late July. Sounds like fun. Via Rex Visit site »

Pepi Ronalds makes the very valid point that while copywriters are great, what many web projects really need is a good editor. Employing a talented editor can help avoid the way-too-common problem that is delayed content. Visit site »
Google is now serving copies of popular Javascript libraries, including Prototype, Mootools, jQuery, and Dojo, to help with caching. Nice. Visit site »
I’m a bit behind on this one, having been out of town and largely offline for a couple of weeks, but Mike and his awesome crew at Newsvine (now part of MSNBC) are looking for a PHP/JS/CSS sort of developer to join their team. I’ve known Mike for years and have watched Newsvine grow into something really special, so you know this is a killer position. I’ve met most of the members on the team and am buddies with some of them — they’re really, really good at what they do, and super-nice people. And, the Newsvine office is literally a stone’s thrown from my apartment (you can actually see my building right behind the ‘Vine building in the photo Mike includes), so I can say without question that it’s a great building in a great location right in the middle of everything that’s going on in Seattle. If you’re a PHP/JS guru, you’d be crazy not to be interested in this gig. Visit site »
