Anyone seen the site called The Stocks?
Looks like an aggregator of sorts that pulls in stock photo, font, color, mockup resources and more into one site. Really useful.

For any of you who need to book locations in different cities for parties, photo shoots, film shoots, etc I found this site and seem to have successfully booked a cool spot in Chicago for an upcoming shoot. Found it really helpful.

I don't drive often, but consider myself a respectful decent driver.
After returning from a long round trip a month or so ago, I crossed a roundabout only to be very surprised to be flashed by an irate cyclist who I had totally not seen at all. It was nighttime, it was dark, he wasn't wearing reflective items and I was tired, but still.. I was shook up because I genuinely hadn't seen the fucker, and I know I'd made every effort to.
Anyway, turns out I might be able to blame nature, rather than tiredness, so here' sthe 'useful' bit:

Ironically for me, I was returning from Portsmouth when teh above happened...

Five Rules to Remember in Life
1. Forgive your enemy but remember the bastard's name.
2. Money cannot buy happiness but it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle.
3. Help someone when they are in trouble and they will remember you when they're in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problems but then again, neither does milk.These should assist you with most daily decision chokes.
- lol copy / paste!
chokes = choices but to each their own :Dimbecile - 1. No. Some people are not deserving of forgiveness and should be noted in a little black book, in case any future opportunity to get them back arises. imo, obvNairn
- 3. hahaha, love it. So cynical.Nairn
- I like the sentiment behind 5. - but milk is pretty usefulFax_Benson
