Happy accident: I love how the file size lines up perfectly with the file type in our new file icons in Backpack. (These icons were also added to Basecamp and Highrise today. Campfire soon.)

I understand the attention to detail and everything but do you ever wonder if you’d delight customer’s a lot more by spending more energy on more substantial items?

Until I read what you wrote (after examining the screenshot) I thought you were going to joke about how application doc takes up more space than the coverage doc.

Really diggin this—especially how your file types now (or sometime recently) began to identify the Office 2007 formats like docx and pptx. Great work.

Somehow, I’m surprised to see an “Employee Change Request Form” at 37signals. :) Where’s the TPS report? :)

Sorry to be a pain, but you’re actually 1 pixel out.

Happy: Hey, don’t blame us, blame the insurance company. Trust me, we hate paperwork as much as is humanly possible. :)

The real question is rather : why do the icons for the HTML files display “HTTP” rather than “HTML” ?
