“Here is a list of portfolios I know. These are people I either know personally or know through the web community. We cut the list down the simply individual portfolios that focused on web design. Please use the comments to recommend portfolios that we may have overlooked, but here is the catch, you can’t recommend your own portfolio. We are looking for some fresh blood, talent that may otherwise be unnoticed by the web community at large. Here is your chance to give props to your friends. The list is meant to give you an idea of what level of quality of work we are looking for.”

“Ever since March of 1994 we have worked intimately with 50 different, new firms each year. These firms have been spread throughout every major metropolitan area in North America, ranging in size from 1 to 135 people. Wouldnít it be interesting to know what personality traits are common to the principals of those firms that are successful? Thanks for asking!”

“Veteran online journalist Barry Parr has wrapped up a five part series entitled ‘Why Can’t a Newspaper Be More Like a Blog?’ on his weblog, MediaSavvy. It’s a thought-provoking read. I’m not sold on what he has to say about RSS (it needs more users) and trackbacks (porn spammers exploit them), but the points he’s making ó be part of the ‘Net, not just on the ‘Net ó are right on.”

“What makes a magazine great? The writing. The ideas. The photography. The design. Sure. But more importantly, a magazine’s worth depends on how it catches readers’ glances, and then their hearts. Here, Tempo presents its second annual 50 Best Magazines list. Our selections reflect the periodicals that we pay good money to buy, that we pile on our nightstands, that we devour on trains, that we consider to be the best at what they set out to do. There are more than 17,500 magazines published in this country, so choosing the 50 best was daunting. We argued, we concurred, we scoffed. And we welcome you to continue the debate.”
