If you like the alternating table backgrounds that are in applications like iTunes, and want them in your web application, there is a simple way to do so in PHP:
<table>
<tr class=”title”>
<td></td>
</tr>
<?php
$i=0;
foreach($row as $r){
if($i&0){$alt=‘ class=”even”‘;}else{$alt=”;}
echo “<tr”.$alt.“>”;
//other table stuff in here
$i++;
echo “</tr>”;
}
?>
</table>
37 Signals has an interesting article on why PSD mockups are not as fluid of a workflow when you are trying to get some usability concepts across to your client. The comments are also a good read to balance out the article.

According to this article here:
Apple’s design has always used a great balanced combination of tone (darks), rich effects and colour to draw the eye.
It may be the most perfectly designed web site there is, in my opinion.
The project over at www.shilohstream.com has been going well. We seem to always have a few listeners, and the peak has slowly but steadily increased. A special thanks to all who have contributed, advertised, and promoted the service. I pray that God would be glorified, and that other Christians would be blessed. I would also like to thank all those that have registered.
As you might have gathered, stuff stopped happening around here. This was due in part to the fact that I am now employed full-time at Computer Connections of Reedsburg, WI, a local IT company here. That does not mean that I am no longer available for graphic/web consulting; it just means that I have less time to tinker with this site, and updating my blog with content that is relevant to the graphic industry. If you’re in need of a website, or just some general web design/graphics advice, feel free to drop me a line.
