DesignBump, a new community website especially for design, has just opened it's doors. I mentioned it before in the sideblog because I think this website has a lot of potential.

Today I had the chance to get an interview of the man behind DesignBump: John Campbell. He'll tell us some background information about this upcoming and growing website.

As you could have expected, I'm a registered member too. If you're really in to design, you should really take a look at DesignBump.

Whoohoo! Party time! Today (9th of May, 2008) is exactly one year after I bought the Marcofolio.net domain. Meaning, today is the first birthday of this website.

I'm pretty satisfied with what happened the past year. The first couple of months, this website was nothing more than my personal portfolio. After a while I started blogging and even made a pretty nice list with my favorite articles from 2007 and even made an april fools prank.

Because of the increasing number of readers, I updated my layout for the website to version 1.5. Recently, I became #2 top blogger under 21. For all my articles, you can go to the sitemap.

As a little present for you, I added Gravatar support in the commenting system. This way, your comment will be more personal with your own avatar.

Also, for the RSS Feed Readers among you, using a RSS Reader like Feedreader: The feed will now display formatted HTML. This way, you'll get a faster intension of the article (image & links) and it looks a lot nicer. I apologize to those people who got "double messages" in their feed reader: It happens when you change the Feedburner Feed.

Michael from RetireAt21 released a list of top young bloggers under 21. I was pretty happy to hear that I made it to his list, but did't expect to get listed that high: I'm listed as number 2 top blogger under 21.

The full list contains 30 of the most top-ranked blogs by authors under the age of 21. Some of them are really great!

I would like to grab this chance to thank all you readers / visitors out there. Many comments and seeing the subscriber count rise every day keeps me motivated to keep this blog up and running. It's really cool, especially when you know that Marcofolio.net got off the ground less than a year ago.

Anyway, for the Photoshop-users out there: Get ready for another awesome Photoshop tutorial that I'll be releasing in a couple of days. And for those readers that like my monthly Imagedumps; I'm sure you're aware that it's already a new month, so stay tuned!

A while ago, John Willis posted an article with 10 worst forms of CAPTCHAs. Yesterday, I found another form of CAPTCHA that could be added to his list. This is an image from file hosting service RapidShare.com

What do you think the four letters are?

Have you ever encountered such an aweful form of CAPTCHA like me? Show them. The Spanner created an innovative CAPTCHA called CODETCHA but is mainly focused on programmers.

I'm one of the iPhone users from the world that are really looking forward to the iPhone 2.0 software release. The update will be available in June, but the iPhone Dev Team already got their hands on this fine piece of software. Better yet: They hacked it to let it run 3rd party application. And the best: It will be released this week.

A downside: It was going to be released on the 30th of March, but it had a couple of delays. They're improving the script & making a Windows version of the application.
