Techcrunch.com Design Review

I just checked out Techcrunch.com today for the first time in a few days and I was surprised again with a new design.

Stitch Bunny Flies the Plane

I've always wanted to learn to fly. I'm not sure if it had to do with my pops being a pilot or just a function of being a kid. But being a bit of a chicken shit, I chose a different path; I became a creative.
