Copy, Right?

3 comments

A friend just turned me on to a weblog that is entirely about cover versions of songs. Copy, Right? is dedicated "to share my love/hate relationship with cover songs" according to Liza, the site's owner, and each post includes downloadable tracks and witty commentary.

The August 30 entry is especially good and the Asylum Street Spanker's rockabilly cover of the Beastie Boy's "Paul Revere" is well worth a listen. Thanks for the tip Joel. Here's a local download of the Paul Revere track — Asylum Street Spankers "Paul Revere".

Whoa, thanks for the hot tip in the song, and I sure hope the link you put out there doesn't put me back into my cover songs phase again!

Hi Daniel !

I would like to make an observation on firefox and the present beta of Internet explorer 7. Peculiarly my Web site has a style css that sees well with products mozilla well and only operates, in different versions from Internet to explorer appears everything as if it was under the label center of HTML. Nevertheless proving the new beta of Internet to explorer, I see that it leaves exactly just as with firefox and it operates, something that is strange similarity to me, after seeing the icons that takes, the direction of the bars and other small details. For that reason I believe that you would have to throw a look to see to him that conclusions you between this beta and your product remove, gives the impression me that a series of strange coincidences between both navigators takes place.

Best Regards

My name is Daniel Burka. I'm a web designer living in San Francisco. Currently, I'm the director of design with a startup called Tiny Speck and for several years I was the creative director at Digg. I grew up in PEI, Canada, where I was one of the founders of silverorange. Aside from obsessing about interface design and css selectors, I'm a frequently-falling rock climber, a lazy cyclist, and an often out-of-bounds disc golfer.

Summary

I'm a web designer living in San Francisco, California. I sometimes get the chance to present lectures and workshops at conferences around the world, where I speak about iterative design strategies, designing for large online communities, and more broadly about interface design for web applications. I've posted many of the slides from past presentations I've done on Slideshare.

Currently, I'm the director of design at a small gaming startup called Tiny Speck. Until October 2009, I was the creative director at Digg. I was also one of the co-founders of the social content-sharing site Pownce, which is now a part (heh heh) of Six Apart. Back in 1999, I helped found silverorange, a stellar web development and design firm based in Prince Edward Island, Canada. I continue to work with silverorange, but as an inactive partner.
