Delivery Options

Orange has one of the most sensible delivery options I’ve seen in a good while. First thing this morning I received via text:

“Your parcel from Orange is out for delivery today. If you need your delivery on an alternate date reply to this text. 1=Wednesday, 2=Thursday, 3=Friday.”

Simple, but effective and definitely better than some package trackers.

Meandering [RSS]

Aimless wanderings from around the big ol’ interweb…

Old, no doubt, but what a great photo from back in September when Hurricane Ike was doing its thing.
Instant Avatars
I really like this idea - personalised default avatars.
One Dollar Origami
Origami made from one Dollar bills. Very cool.
The Hit List
A screenshot of a really nice looking upcoming To-Do app for OS X.
Make IE Scale Images More Smoothly
img { -ms-interpolation-mode:bicubic; } is the great little tip.
DD_belatedPNG
Better PNG background-image support in IE6.
Is It Funny Today?
Web comic aggregation overload.
Tabbloid
Neat service which delivers a really nicely presented PDF made from RSS feeds you provide it.
Rémi Gaillard
Some of the videos on this site are the best things you'll see on the internets, EVER.
Incredible Brick Balancing Act
Wow.
The case of the 500-mile email
Old news, I'm quite sure, but a great story all the same.
Designing Social Interfaces Wiki
A companion pattern library to the upcoming book of the same name.
Sleeveface
My new favourite blog.
Offbeat Guides
A really neat new service for compiling custom travel guides, which are then available as a PDF or in print. The events list for around the time of your stay is particularly nice.
KavaMovies
An interesting new application for managing your movie collection. With a few more features, this could be quite useful.
