Cute captcha
I was going to take a
screenshot of the captcha system we just implemented and send it to the
client and ended up with this one.
Freefall redesign
Freefall is a reverse auction system we built a few years ago and it really needs a facelift and some new features. Before and after. Improved?
Will the real numbers please stand up
I mentioned a
while ago that the prognosis for the Mexican economy had steadily been
plumeting, with independent "experts" claiming a larger contraction of
the economy followed quickly by the government claiming that it wasn't
that bad. The graph below explains is better.
So when I stopped following this in May, the prognosis was a 5.8%
contraction for 2009. We now have the real numbers for the first
trimester of 2009; 9.0%
Experts are claiming that the second trimester will be 9.5%. So the Mexican economy either has to make a fantastic comeback in the last half of the year, or we're looking at a 8-9% contraction (NOT 4% like the Secretary of Finance predicts).

New Copyleft cards
The new Copyleft cards arrived today and look quite decent. The paper might be a bit too smooth and the cut isn't perfect, but overall this makes my day.
Dear Jonathan from Spotify,
New Copyleft cards
These are yet to be printed,
but I'm hoping I can get it done with letterpress, having the grey as
an inkless impression. Does anyone know of a printer that does
letterpress in Norway?
