Everyone loves a great free resource, right? Head on over to CG Textures and let the happy times begin!
I used to spend a considerable amount of time scouring free stock photo sites anytime I needed a nice textured background image for a web design project. Not anymore. This place is awesome. All the textures a man could ask for. Grunge, metal, concrete, water, windows; it’s all here!

Looking for a nifty background pattern for your website? I found this super-fantastic Flash-based tiled backgrounds designer. It lets you choose colors, patterns, and texture.

Reading Hicksdesign Blog turned me on to this shockingly nice looking new piece of machinery. I’m nearing hardware upgrade time anyway; this little thing must just push that date closer. I want bamboo!
Performance-wise I have no idea. I’ll have to read more. But it sure looks pretty considering it’s not coming out of the Apple labs.
