Somebody took the time to make a graph of the number of songs purchased from iTunes since its launch in May of 2003. It seems like so much longer ago that the iTunes store began stealing money from my wallet, the fact that over a billion songs have been sold in that amount of time is crazy. Crazier still is the fact that 500 million of them were sold in the last seven months.

I am also reminded as I watch these Olympians how similar they are to people I work around each and every day. These are people I call the “creatives.”

If you want to check out fifteen different ways to use AJAX on your login system, this is the place to visit. There are plenty of other sites that showcase great design but you’re usually left clicking through to the sites to view any functionality.
