A view into the Forrst
Right so how many of you have heard about Kyle Bragger‘s Forrst? Raise your hands please…
Okay, a few of you have, thanks you can lower you hands now.
Forrst is a place for designers and developers to share screenshots, links, code, and questions with their peers. I do however love the way that Carsonified have described it: Where Designers Who Code meet Developers Who Design.
Forrst is still in beta and is invite-only which when I first stumbled upon it made me a little curious, I applied and got accepted today, stoked, I think I am #2,483. If you have an account you can view my profile here.
My first impressions, I must say I am a little bias because I did get accepted… anyway I love the home page, it has been beautifully done and the moving clouds in the background are a lovely touch. When I first heard about it I thought it was just a Dribbble copy but I am still waiting for my Dribbble invite so that I can’t make an informed judgement on that… yet and I am not sure who cam first. Once logged in the UI is awesome, good to look at and pretty easy to use, they have made sharing effortless. One thing I can say is that Forrst accepts developers and not just designers which I am happy about being a developer. There is tons of content flying around in the forrst and I am keen to get stuck in and find some real gems which obviously I will share with you guys.

What you put in is what you get out
David and Marc Perel talking about achieving success with your blog. They say success comes from hard work, dedication, self-discipline and focus! This video is very aptly found on the about us page of their awesome video blog From the couch. I just love the question that Dave poses, “How badly do you want it?”, How badly do you want success? Rewards will come to those who work hard and as Marc says, “you can get 3 pairs of shoes and a pair of pants”. This is brilliant inspiration as in just over a week my brother, Quin and I shall be launching Smashing Web Development.

Get everyone envolved
Just been inspired by something awesome the Obox bro’s did – if you haven’t seen there latest post, go check it out!
Entitled “Name the awesome. Win.” it’s already a winner of a post just because is has the word awesome in the title! But also because they have reached out to me, to you and anyone out there who can comment to get envolved and be apart of this awesomeness.
What can you win? How about a life time supply of themes, to most people that would be great but to some I think they are just after the bragging rights to say that they named an Obox theme. This is the best online competetion I have seen in a while and it’s happening right now, the deadline is the 15th of March so go comment and have your say!
There are lots of desperate entries (spam lists and lists) being posted, but I suggest go look at the preview of the theme here and think of the first thing that comes to mind. For me it was Henry.
So keen to see who wins 
well done Obox this is a brilliant example of free online marketing for an up and coming product – fun, viral and worth sharing!
