A Few Words From Your Sponsor
Hi! I'm David. And I'm incredible. A while back, during a compliment-gone-hilarious someone once told me that I was THE Incredible D-A-V. My guess is that Dave was the intended destination for that little name-game, but as I never liked the name Dave, Dav stuck.
I'll write about all sorts of stuff in this blog, probably only 1/3 of it will be of any interest at any given time. Keep coming back...we'll see what we can find out about each other.

Coudal Partners is a quirky design firm. Here are some nuggets from their website:
» Ten is a short film about a man who breaks all ten commandments before breakfast.
» The staff uses the chalkboard walls in the bathroom for word games.
» A quick video that explains how to clean your keyboard. In the dishwasher.

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings used vintage cameras purchased on eBay to make the music video for “100 Days, 100 Nights“.

Feeling a little techno-dorky on this one…but Mozilla’s Prism is interesting technology. I’d love to see it go somewhere useful. (Update: I’ve played with this one for awhile and I can’t think of any real value in having an application that runs a website without using a web-browser. I’m sure someone can…but I don’t see this going on my list of favorites).

Exploring Nurture vs. Nature by splitting up identical twins is just cruel. Did no child psychologist say “WTF, mate?” when this was proposed?
