Lots of news lately coming from early reviews of the Zune HD. This time, it’s a video from Gizmodo showing just how beautiful the OS transfers over to an HD TV when it is connected as a media center device.

Seriously, I cannot wait to get my hands on this.

Dustin Curtis redesigns the American Airlines website

Dustin Curtis is an interface designer who was so fed up with American Airlines’ outdated and confusing website that he decided to take it upon himself to redesign the whole site. At a company as large as American Airlines, I have a hard time figuring out why they even have their current website looking the way it does. It’s horrific and certainly makes me want to book my flights elsewhere. Hopefully Dustin and his redesign make some waves at AA Corporate.

Thanks Matthew!

WordPress 2.7 gets released later today

December 4, 2008 @ 2:29 am

The big news in the blogging community is the release of WordPress 2.7 at 8PM EST tonight (December 4, 2008). I’ve had the pleasure of testing WP 2.7 in the past few weeks and I am excited for a final release of the blogging system. The refreshed admin panel alone is worth the upgrade along with several behind-the-scenes features which will benefit publishers (readers of any blog won’t know that a thing has changed). The layout of everything in the admin panel is just so much smarter and easier to get to than before, thanks to nested menus (built-in) and a better dashboard layout.

Anyway, I’ll be glad to leave some of my plugins behind when I upgrade to this new release of WordPress. Having certain features built-in is just so much more stable than relying on a plugin.

UPDATE: Just to clarify, WP 2.7 will be out tonight on WordPress.com blogs, and if all goes well, the full version will be released on December 10 for those of us who are self-hosted.
