That said, this image has been circulating virtually everywhere I look in the past 24 hours, and if you haven't seen it yet, well, now you have!

Yep. And only the "major" characters in the various games.

(okay, okay, arguably a few minor ones in thereā€¦)

Holy wow. That's just crazy. Someone is a huge Zelda nerd.

Whoever made that should sell posters. Or, like, paint people's vans.

Just in case you don't know all the names of the characters in the picture.

I kinda think it would be neat if we updated the regular speed hole pics. That's some old hardware, and it might be nice to see, instead, some abstract closeups of modern gear...say an iMac (flagship desktop that screams "Apple"), MacBook Air and one of the iDevices (iPad or iPhone)? Still in that close-up, can't-quite-tell-what-it-is style with the toned coloring and all.

By no means a final, definite thing...just a general idea of what I'm talking about. Modern, 2010/2011-ish gear. Surely better, more artsy pics to be found (I just pulled a few from Apple's site). Maybe Dorian or someone could snap a few custom ones, super closeup and more abstract, interesting than my rough mockup.

We are in the "post-PC" era now, after all. We should give a little love to the iOS devices, and maybe consider saying goodbye to any plastic G4-based gear. New year, new decade, etc.

Off-topic (click to toggle):
I wonder how we came up with the phrase, 'Speed Hole'? How is a hole supposedly speedy?

I guess if we want to use Urban Dictionary as an authority (!), it's supposedly for making cars go faster by puncturing holes or to chug a beer faster. Wonder how that ends up in web design (if that's what they actually call holes like those in general?)

They're speed holes because they make the site go faster. Duh.

Just as long as one of the speed holes isn't of iGarageBand's "it plays for you!" Smart Guitar, I'm in. But you know what should totally be a speed hole?

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong

Related: People also called the vents on the MDD PowerMac G4 "speed holes".

I have a couple of designs sitting on the sidelines I've been holding on to for a while that I've been wanting to use on the next "big" site update. I might refresh the holes before then, though.

Big site update ! When do you think we'll be ready for it ? I'm tired of the 7.2.5 look. Hope the leap will be as big as 7 was coming from 6.8.

The iMac, with the hole in the stand that the power cable passes through.

You people won't be happy until Brad creates a user-editable image wiki for the top banner which uses an alpha mask to cover over the user-selected images, thus preserving the speed holes look, allowing you curs to continually change the images to suit yourselves!!!
