Moo QRCode Stickers, originally uploaded by jazzmasterson. Although I’ve got a DYMO printer, I thought I’d test and see how well Moo stickers would work with the current geohash generator. The stickers are gorgeous, and perfect for, say, putting in the margins of a book or on a printout. But they’re a bit small, which means […]
What I did over vacation
This last week, I was invited by Dave Gray to the 2008 Sarasota International Design Summit. There really is too much to summarize in a single post, but here are some of the highlights as I saw them.

Hello, World
This is me playing with a brutally simple hack: There is nothing, really, to see when the link is clicked. For now.
More on “Social Objects”

Vladimir Nabokov wrote on index cards, and this enabled him to create wonderfully nonlinear books. One of my favorites is Pale Fire, a […]
Printer as social letterbox
Jack Schulze and Matt Webb have been on fire, lately. They’ve got a new blog, Pulse Laser (after the classic C64 game Elite). And in the first week or so, they’ve managed to write a bunch of things that made my inner design geek stand up and wave its little antennae around. (I envision my inner […]
Core Luv
The Core 77 Design Blog has occupied a special spot in my Bloglines feed list for lo these many moons. Definitely the best place on the internets to find design snobbery, fun projects, blue foam, kinetic sculptures, eye candy, and more blue foam. Besides, where else can you find Blu-Foam sneakers?

These things may have some relation to each other outside my fevered brain. Throwing A Digital Shadow Some thoughts perturbed from the silt at the bottom of the dark pond that is the mind of Warren Ellis, by way of the acquisition of his new, space-shuttle-controlling smartphone, the Nokia N71. What interests me is less the idea […]
