These ones slipped by me but then again, I haven’t had my feedreader open in quite awhile. These Christmas icons were created by SoftFacade which is a Russian design studio. As you can see via the screenshot previewing the icons, they did a wonderful, detailed job.

The icon pack has 10 icons available in the following sizes: 64X64, 128X128, and are in .png and .ico formats. The pack was created especially for SmashingMagazine where you can download the pack.

This is a Reader Poll to get your opinion! Please take a minute to respond to this poll in the comments so that I can get an idea of what you are thinking.

The subject has arisen recently about the length a podcast should be. My question to you is, how long of a podcast will you, yourself, listen to. How long is too long or too short? What length of time do you think is appropriate for a podcast?

Thank you for participating in this poll. If you feel some podcasts deserve longer or shorter lengths, please let me know why you feel certain niches should be longer or shorter in length.

I will post the results of this poll after everyone has had a chance to respond. Thank you again!

Making money with articles can be fairly easy for anyone. If you are a quick learner and great reader, then you can learn everything you need to know right from the Internet without any previous training needed. This is probably the best fact about niche website Internet marketing.

If you are new to the business, your best bet is to ease into it. If you jump in before you know what you are doing, you have a good chance of losing money and having nothing to show for it. There are several things that you need to make sure you know how to do before you begin creating your first site.

• Create your own great articles or hire someone to do it for you
• Optimize your website for search engines
• Find reliable web hosting
• Pick a catchy URL
• Create a small site that is easy to navigate, have one created for you, or pay to use a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) website builder.

I had one of those “Duh, why didn’t I think of that” moments this morning when I read a news story about how some teenagers have found out how to spoof license plates of their enemies and for performing pranks overall. So how does the prank work?

students duplicate the license plates by printing plate numbers on glossy photo paper, using fonts that are similar to those on Maryland license plates. They then run by a speed camera, so that those they feel have “wronged them” receive a citation in the mail.

I know speed cameras were not a welcomed edition to busy streets in and around Cleveland, Ohio but I can’t believe this prank is that easy to do. However, as was noted at the bottom of the article, someone with the technical know how created a Google Earth KML file mapping out the speed cams. Using technology to fight technology!
