Well, someone has to do it. For a few weeks each year,  I’m burdened with many responsibilities in the coding, editing and (ahem) ‘quality control’ of the annual SI.com Swimsuit Edition. The NYTimes picked up on this year’s efforts, and goes into great detail on this much-heralded product launch tomorrow (on Valentines Day, ‘natch). The annual staple has grown to not only include the magazine itself, but videos for your iPod, AIM icons, mobile phone wallpapers, and a cross-country series of parties with Anheuser-Busch (which picked up this sponsorship after Miller bowed out recently). Not to mention a few hundred very nice photos on SI.com. Get ready, get set – now go make sure all those images are cropped correctly in three different size formats, the swimsuit credits are correct, and no one left off any thumbnail images for gallery 42 of 50! Believe me – stare at those pictures long enough, and you’ll only see a blur – or perhaps get tired of supermodels. Probably NOT the latter, though.
