Right align your form fields
It is [this guy’s] argument that “It will take less time and effort to fill up the right aligned form in comparison with the left aligned one”. Seems compelling, maybe I need to re-examine my forms in Startershop? (via Snook)

“I Predict a Riot” – barbershop stylee
Run, don’t walk, over to the Kaiser Chiefs official site, where for 3 days you can download the Cheshire Chord Company cover of Kaiser Chiefs – I Predict a Riot. Absolutely brilliant.
Update 06/01/22: You can listen to a clip of I Predict a Riot (BBC ReadlAudio stream), from a BBC news article. The track is advertised on the Cheshire Chord Company website as being available soon.
(Ping… Cheshire Chord Company – I Predict A Riot.)
(Ping… Kaiser Chiefs.)

Greetings cards and Christmas cards
We didn’t get around to it this year, but C wanted to make our own Christmas cards and these people seemed reasonable. (Greetings cards have full colour glossy fronts and can be printed with your design or logo.)
