by Joey Hernandez on Thursday, December 1st, 2011
Desktop wallpapers are a great way to show one’s personality, whether it’s at home or at work. A clean, organized workspace includes a clean and in some cases, inspiring wallpaper. I’m also a big fan of typography. Almost any font used the right way can become a work of art.

by Andy Morales on Monday, November 21st, 2011
Throughout the history of the Internet, there has been an evolution of web standards. Due to these transformations, today, “the number of devices connected to the Internet exceeds the number of people on Earth.” Vitamin Talent has collaborated with Eric Meyer and Jeffrey Zeldman, founders of An Event Apart, to create this fantastic infographic detailing the changes of web standards during the lifetime of the Internet. For your convenience, the graphic has been broken into smaller images. Click on any of the images to view a larger version. If you wish, you can also view the images in their original long form. Although it is a lengthy infographic, I highly suggest reading it all, as it is very fascinating.
