Raising status messages to an art form 

[article source]
Portfolio for designer Andy Titus. One Flash animation in particular blew me away. (warning: it's only a few seconds long, so don't bother making popcorn.)
  • Dig around for the link to Fuse, and click. His task with this client was to introduce a hip video channel into a saturated market. (Note tagline under the logo, which changes from page to page.)
  • Click "Launch."
  • Click animation sample 1.
He's raised a simple status indicator to an art form.

I like.

Fats Domino Found in New Orleans 

[article source]
Cool. I've been looking everywhere for the guy.
One of rock 'n' roll's chief architects has been rescued from the rubble of New Orleans.

Fats Domino, who had been unaccounted for in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, was plucked from the flooded city by a rescue boat.

His daughter, Karen Domino White, who lives in New Jersey, identified her father in a picture taken Monday night by a New Orleans Times-Picayune photographer. The singer is seen being helped from a boat by an emergency crew.
