I can't get Peter Bjorn & John's song "Young Folks" out of my head lately. Haven't heard it yet? Check out the video. Though, you probably have heard Young Folks — it was even playing at my laundromat last night and that's when you know a song's following you around. It's almost as pop catchy as Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which I hummed for pretty much the entirety of 2002.

If you love this song you should check out The Concretes. The girl doing backup vocals on Young Folks used to be in this band.

I know what you mean, when there is a song or a tune that you just can't get out of your head. For me, the most recent one was New York by Eskimo Joe. Sometimes I just would have liked to sing along every time I heard it. But at least it put a smile on my face, when I thought about what embarrassment I just saved myself from :)

Have the same "problem" to. Sometimes I have a number in my head. I am thinking: where did I heard this number. But I just dont know. Pretty funny right?

You should add The Apples in Stereo - "Same Old Drag" to your list of perfect pop songs. I love that song.

My name is Daniel Burka. I'm a web designer living in San Francisco. Currently, I'm one of the founders of Milk Inc.. For several years I was the creative director at Digg and previous to Milk, I was the director of design at Tiny Speck. 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.
