Chris Pearson, our in house design guru, and artistic editorial consultant has launched a new celebrity site where he’s giving away gadgets every week. Pardon me while I head over to waste my days.
Muhammad Saleem our in house Social News expert has joined the Pronet Advertising Team so that’s keeping him nice and busy. He’s had a few really great pieces over there.
Thord Hedengren has been busy doing some design work for Syntagma Media and also has a nice interview up on Blogger Talks with Neil Patel of Pronet Advertising.
We welcomed Duncan Riley and Matt Craven to 901am and I’m pleased to have them onboard. They’ve been making some nice contributions already.
Another new comer this week and largely to fill in here and there is Curtiss Thompson. He runs the hilarious site Colbert on Demand.
As for me I took 3 days off and headed into the backwoods of Pennsylvania. I’m gearing up for some development work behind the scenes on a few projects as well as some face time on another. So there might be some sporadic posting over here by me as the weeks go on. But these guys sure have been rocking it out. I’m super impressed.
Seriously check out their personal projects and have a good rest of the week.

Facebook has partnered with Comcast to produce a television series of ten half-hour episodes, entirely composed of user-generated videos. The TV series called “Facebook Diaries” will be shown on Comcast’s YouTube clone, Ziddio as well as on Facebook.
“We’ve been having some dialogue with Comcast for a couple of months just on and off, just as they were putting their video plans together,” Owen Van Natta, chief operating officer of based Facebook, said Tuesday. “Then we engaged R.J. Cutler and we came up with this idea.”
The companies will be asking users to submit videos built around themes such as “who am I?” “heartbreak,” and so on. The move largely mimicks the videoblogging phenomenon and will leverage Facebook’s more than 16 million users to drive traffic to Comcast’s service.
Businessweek has more.

So yeah, it’s public beta now. If you haven’t tried Gmail (or Google Mail if you live in a country where Google gets whacked when using the Gmail name, like the UK or Germany) now is the time.
Then again, there’s probably enough invites spinning the web that Google won’t even see an increase in new accounts, right?
I wish they would scrap that beta thing soon. It’s so silly.
