In honor of tax day, I am gonna steal todays entry in my Freakonomics calendar.
In 1987 the IRS change one simple rule: Instead of merely listing the name of each dependent child in order to get a deduction, tax filers were now required to provide a Social Security number for each child. On April 15 of that year, seven million American children suddenly vanished from the tax rolls.
It’s amazing how many people break the law if they think they wont be caught. If you think that is interesting, you should read the Freakonomics book.

If you are looking to waste some time, try out the Magic Pen game.
Addictive and fun!

Billy Madison is one of my favorite movies. Sure it juvenile humor, but it is a heartwarming story of one man’s journey to educate himself in order to save the name of his family.
Ok maybe not that honorable, but funny nonetheless.
Turns out it is really happening as a 70yr old man has re-enrolled in first grade.
Yay for him, I hope it all works out but remember O’doyle Rules!

I realized its been awhile, i actually had plans of grandeur. A redesign was imminent on the horizon, then like all other redesigns before it, I decided I didn’t like it when it was almost done. So back to the drawing board.
Today I present a few good links. I need to figure out how Cameron does his linkage so that I can just put some useful links up when I find them so that these link posts don’t fill up my blog with ways to leave.
No matter, these links are solid.
Blogdesignblog.com offers up the 25 Must books for Web Designers, Amazingly I have read 3 of these and they were great. I guess I need to get to reading the rest. Unfortunately, the library doesn’t carry a lot of them and I am not paying $40 for a 10 minute read book.
Visual-blast.com has 124+ Free Photoshop Actions, even more amazing, I don’t have any of these out of the 40 I already have. I never realized pre-made actions existed but some of these are beyond basic Photoshop usage.
Noupe.com gives us 101 CSS techniques that other designers are using, why aren’t you? It could be you don’t need them, but more than likely you are using some derivative.
