I feel like Michael and I have just been knighted by the queen! My website, co-designed with Michael, has been picked as one of the Screens Around Town by the 37 Signals guys. This is a regular feature of web design they deem to be top notch and examples of “Getting Realâ€. It is quite an honor.

Cruel to Be Kind
Why oh why do the otherwise nice folks at 37 Signals taunt me this way? Here is a screencast of the not-yet-released calendar feature they are adding to Backpack.
Flock is Flying Higher
I have been playing around a bit as of late with Flock 0.7, the latest version of the Web 2.0-ified, Firefox based browser. I must say that I am more and more impressed with every release. They really seem to be making it as easy as possible to integrate a fast browser with bookmarking services like del.icio.us, Flickr and built in blogging support. In fact, I am making this post using it right now. It has a great built-in news reader and a nice little snippets function to clip and save text and images for later use. All with drag and drop goodness. Also, because it is based on Firefox it supports many of the extensions that us Firefox users have grown to depend on. Oh, and it looks good too.
Seems like they are actually going from alpha to beta with the next release so it seems like a good time to check it out especially if you are a blogger and looking for a solution to browse and easily post the stuff you find. Once it does go beta, I may have to give it some love as my full time browser to see if it can last.
