Coming Soon to a Boom Box Near You

This is what I did with most of my day today. I was very much inspired by the realistic-looking icons Mac OS X has for printers. I'm working on a web site for the Church and needed an image of a cassette tape. Finding a high-res image of a cassette tape proved a little more lame that I thought (that is, until a co-worker showed me tapedeck.org). So I grabbed an image of the current LDS Catalog site and more-or-less traced it. The fun/challenging part was adding the color. That is what made it realistic and that is where I pulled in the expertise of my co-worker.

And while I'm showing off things I've done at work, check out LDS Account. It's a service that the church is offering which will (eventually) allow you to sign in to nearly any online service the church provides. Currenly there are few services our there that utilize it simply because it's so new. Eventually your Stake and Ward websites will use it. But now you are in the know.
