Time breakdown of modern web design (high-res via Aviv Hadar)
Somehow all web design work eventually normalizes to this distribution over time. One amendment, however: I would substitute “Time spent wishing a slow, painful death on Bill Gates and more swearing” with “Sighing and counting backwards from 10 when, despite your best efforts, Hitbox and business require your next project to be pixel-perfect in IE6”.

It uses that sketch to search for those component images on the web, filters those images in a few heuristic passes, and devises stitches from the available options. The output, surprisingly, seems to be of fairly high quality.

Huh. Thunderbird just spazzed out and went into an infinite minimize-animation loop. In hindsight, I should have set it to a beat.
