Sat, 27 Dec 2008 06:23:01 -0800

My good friends Nate and Erin decided to quit there jobs and go traveling for a year. They’re currently in New Zealand and every time I get an update in my RSS reader I get a little more jealous. I don’t know how much longer I can keep reading, before I just up and sell all my possessions and join them.

Bookmark: Monopoly Repackaging

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 05:21:34 -0800

Absolutely gorgeous work. I’d like to see more stuff in this vein, especially in the cereal aisle at the grocery store. The first company who goes ahead and makes there box simple and straight forward is going to have a big advantage. There’s way too much product packaging shouting going on there.

Bookmark: Making the Eames Molded Chair

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 05:19:29 -0800

A great video showing how the Eames molded chair. The wooden dowel prototype bit at the beginning is awesome. I’m curious what new methods Herman Miller is using these days to make their new chairs.

Bookmark: A Japanese Town That Kicked the Oil Habit

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 00:23:22 -0800

Great article from TIME all about Kuzumaki and how it was able to become completely energy independent. I lived there for about a year so trust them when they say that it’s not replicable on a large scale, Kuzumaki is very rural, but it’s still fantastic. It’s disappointing when I here about falling oil prices and these projects getting shelved. We need to start developing something now so when we do need it, we’ll be ready.

Bookmark: While Detroit Slept

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 01:04:02 -0800

“our bailout of Detroit will be remembered as the equivalent of pouring billions of dollars of taxpayer money into the mail-order-catalogue business on the eve of the birth of eBay. It will be remembered as pouring billions of dollars into the CD music business on the eve of the birth of the iPod and iTunes. It will be remembered as pouring billions of dollars into a book-store chain on the eve of the birth of Amazon.com and the Kindle. It will be remembered as pouring billions of dollars into improving typewriters on the eve of the birth of the PC and the Internet.” - Thomas Friedman

Bookmark: The “95”

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 10:19:18 -0800

“One amazing part about the trip is that Dad takes a Polaroid picture out of + every +motel room he stays at, there are literally hundreds of these pictures. He takes them with his “95” Polaroid camera, the first model Polaroid put out, and Dad’s first camera he was given as a gift about 60 years ago. The camera still works and he still takes pictures with it to this day.” That man must have stocked UP on film years ago. It’s great to see a video of one of these in action!

Bookmark: The High Cost of Pretending

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 00:28:22 -0800

“We can create meaningful and sustainable expectations about how, when, or whether we’ll respond to each of the inputs in our world. We can be candid about the level of attention strangers and friends can expect from us. And, when the time is appropriate, we can find the stomach tell the world we’re not even pretending to listen.” I think I’ve found my New Year’s resolution.

Bookmark: Simple Bug and Issue Tracking

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:40:03 -0800

A fantastic new bug tracking tool from my friend Garrett Dimon. The user interface and “flow” of the application are spot on. I’ve been using it for about a month now and am really impressed. I know he’s got lots of future features planned, and while I can’t wait to see what he does moving forward. If you’ve been looking for a simple issue/bug tracking solution with a well designed interface, look no further than Sifter.
