This afternoon WordPress evangelist Japh Thomson was looking for something to do, and ended up on QR Pixel.com. He created the code below.
I love the Envato logo he put in there. But the million dollar question is: Where does the QR code lead to? Let us know in the comments.

Last November our roving WordPress Evangelist (and now Wptuts+ editor) Japh Thomson spoke about code quality and best practices at WordCamp on Australia’s Gold Coast. He was brilliant. Japh told me himself.
Unfortunately due to a technical glitch the video of his talk was unavailable. Well, it was recently unglitched, and you can catch it on WordPress.tv, or embedded below. Enjoy!
The video goes for about 35 minutes, and is full of great insights. And a great view of that fancy laser-etched MacBook Pro of his. Great job, Japh.
As many of our Envato Marketplace authors will know, I recently posted up on Notes about Use of Assets in Previews on Envato Marketplaces. We’ve had a lot of discussion on the post and the forums, and I’m going to be following up on the post with a series here on Notes to clarify and educate authors more on these issues.
It’s really important to us that all our authors understand how to respect other people’s intellectual property. At the end of the day, intellectual property is what is being sold on the Envato Marketplaces, so it just makes sense that we should be respectful and mindful of others as we wish them to be of our own. There’s lots of articles in the Wiki’s Copyright section which are worth reading as a refresher. Continue Reading

Geek T-Shirt by Corsin CamichelI’ve always enjoyed the joke in the photo. If you enjoy it too – and even more if you don’t – you should check out Jason Killian’s latest post on Activetuts+: Number Systems: An Introduction to Binary, Hexadecimal, and More.
Mathematics creeps into almost all creative activities – especially if you’re a coder. So brushing up on it will only make you more productive.
Ever see crazy binary numbers and wonder what they meant? Ever see numbers with letters mixed in and wonder what is going on? You’ll find out all of this and more in this article. Hexadecimal doesn’t have to be scary.
The tutorial will take about 45 minutes to complete. It includes some great tips, helpful visualizations, and some interactive challenges. It covers how computers store colors as numbers, understand base 10 numbers and converting to other bases, and tips and tricks. Even the source code for the Flash exercises is available!
So head over to Activetuts+ and tune up your brain today!

Job Hunting by Robert S. DonovanWe’ve talked a lot in the past about how you can use social networking to market your items. But it’s also useful for finding work, whether it be freelance jobs or full-time employment. That’s especially useful if you’re part of the silent majority who don’t yet support yourself entirely from your Envato marketplace earnings. Do you use social networking to find work?
The guys at the Jobvite Blog have recently put together a great infographic called The Social Job Seekers. (Click here for the article, and here to view the image full size.) Like all good infographics, it’s detailed, multifaceted, and you can see the relationships between the various facts and stats at a glance. It’s worth exploring.
Envato Notes is the community blog for our many and varied sites, including the Envato Marketplaces and Tuts!
