I’ve been with my current company for a little over a year now. I was hired to manage the conversion of one of their main websites to a new Content Management System (CMS). While this may not seem like a huge challenge, when you factor in the current site supports 10+ languages and 20+ countries, I definitely had some learning to do.
This is just crazy! It’s an iPhone app that will translate text in real time. Signs in foreign languages instantly appear in your native language. Seriously, watch that video and prepare to be amazed.
Alright, I’ve got to break down and get some of these. The Star Wars character cookie cutters are cool, but the newly released Star Wars vehicle cookie cutters from Williams Sonoma may be the best.

Animated Superheroes has a great post on the title cards for Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. These great one-scene recaps can get a viewer excited for an episode in seconds and more shows should use them. Marvel’s Super Hero Squad do something similar with their title card cover recreations. It’s something I would love to see on more shows.
Another reason you should use Google Chrome as your main browser. CTRL + SHIFT + V will paste anything on the clipboard as unformatted text. Perfect for posting in to WordPress and other blogging/CMS platforms.
