Jotted down to remember.
This is just gorgeous.
“Vector based icons created to aid in the design, development, implementation and promotion of multi-touch interfaces. These icons will aid in the creation of wire-frame documents, digital help files and printed documentation. You can also use Gesturecons inside of your applications in order to demonstrate to users how to complete actions or prompt them to interact with an application when they approach it.”
A nice complete reference of what’s out there.
“As the last quantities of carefully stored original Polaroid films are currently melting like snow in the sun, it is about time to introduce a new chapter of analog Instant Photography. To begin with, please make yourself comfortable at our new Impossible shop and update your bookmarks. In the meantime, we are preparing everything for the Impossible.” Stoked.
Gorgeous and minimal. A very tasty combination and the Star Wars theme is just icing on the cake.
Saved for when I start traveling a bit more again.
“a Switzerland of bits.” Interesting reaction from a country hit so hard by the global financial crisis.
Not totally sold, but very interesting stuff.
The lens lust is strong.
“It’s called Glitch because in the far-distant and totally-perfect future, the world starts becoming less and less probable, things fall apart, the center cannot hold, and there occurs what comes to be called the “glitch” — a grave danger of disemprobablization.” Intrigued can’t wait to see how Mr. Burka creative directs what looks to be an awesome project.
“Its founder, Bill Gates, is not only the most generous philanthropist in history, but has also inspired thousands of his employees to give generously themselves. No one in his right mind should wish Microsoft failure.” I’ve poked fun at Microsoft many times in the past, but it is sad how they can’t innovate at all. Instead of a long slow Microsoft failure it would be nice to see them turn the ship around. I’m not holding my breath though, and look to them as an example of what not to do with your corporate culture.
“Over the course of the project the vans themselves have become more and more of a rarity. The reasons are as simple as rust and changing tastes; and as complex as government “cash for clunkers” initiatives encouraging more fuel-efficient transportation. Notably, at the same time these vans have been disappearing from our roads – film photography as a visual medium has also begun it’s slow death. Consequently the goal of the project is to one day shoot the last remaining van on the final frame of photographic film in existence. Then the project will be finished.” Epic.
“This re-branding comes as Comcast has struggled to rebuild its reputation because of poor service and problems with its network that resulted in telephone and Internet outages. Its customer-satisfaction rating is among the lowest in the industry, but it has improved slightly in the last year.” And a terrible name like this is going to help how?
I work with some of the most amazing engineers in the business. I’m still amazed at what the did with this.
Coworker Kevin Fox on the potential for widgets on the iPad. Great stuff.
The future of video on the internet.
“There’s very little actual football in a football game.” I rarely record a game since I can’t stand not watching it in real time, but when I do I’m always blown away by how quickly I can skip through it.
Get some balls.
Love these. They remind me of these shots I took last year only lined up better and a bit more clever.
“Twelve South opens a new chapter in Mac protection with BookBook, a totally original, vintage hardback case designed exclusively for MacBook.” It’s pretty hard not to like everything Twelve South sells.
Great article about how detailed a rendering of an object can drastically change our perception of it’s meaning.
Easy Full Screen Background Images with jQuery by Scott Robbin. Saved for later.
Love the style and quick release swivel snaps on this on this “classy” camera strap.
Now officially out and in HD. Man, this looks so terrible and yet awesome at the same time. I can’t wait.
Might as well be ray guns.
It’s out!
“Priori Acute is the latest addition to the Priori family. It is the result of a series of experiments into three-dimensional letter form design inspired by 19th Century display and artistic printing types. However, instead of simply adding drop shadows or fake relief to create the illusion of depth, the designers at Jonathan Barnbrook’s studio took their cue from such diverse sources as the angles on the Stealth bomber and the visual conceit in the work of the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher.” Stunning stuff, and I’ve always had a bit of a thing for Stealth bombers and Escher.
“Examine Netflix rental patterns, neighborhood by neighborhood, in a dozen cities.” Truly fascinating interactive graphic. The Mad Men pattern is particularly interesting.
I’m curious how often you have to change out the dry cleaner pads, but I definitely want one of these.
“I love it when a plan comes together.”
