Buz from IconDrawer has redrawn and upsized his ubiquitous Classic Icons series to 512×512. The new set is slightly smaller than its predecessor, but includes a couple of notable beauties: the new cart icon in particular is gorgeous.
Gorgeous icons.

Everyone’s talking about Snow Leopard today. Just ordered a copy for the office so i have not as of yet had a chance to play around with it. However David Kaneda has and here are his initial thoughts. Sounds pretty good.
- It’s fast. Not only is the general OS and Finder faster, but individual apps like Safari and Mail, too. Safari also runs a newer version of WebKit, unlike Leopard’s Safari 4, this one handles 3d transitions.
- Almost all apps are running fine, but was particularly pleased to see Photoshop (CS3), Quicksilver, and MAMP all working seamlessly. There are minor keyboard shortcut issues in Textmate, which can be resolved with a bundle for now.
- I’m giving Menlo a shot as my primary coding font. We’ll see how it goes.
- Can finally delete heads in Finder sidebar. Minor fix, but personally coveted for oh so long.
- The new Quicktime rocks. It can now record screencasts, though I’m unsure if it’ll replace Screenflow for me. Trimming clips is just like one the iPhone: Awesome.
- Improvements to Exposé and Stacks are excellent.
- Preview finally comes into its own as a PDF viewer, with smart text selection (wraps for columns).
