Geeking out around the house

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. People I had the honor of meeting and befriending some amazing folks. A partial list: Jennifer Magnolfi, Matt […]
More on “Social Objects”
Alex De Carvalho, via Twitter: I, too, find [Social Objects] a useful paradigm for web service design and community building. Stop me if I’m wrong, but this is what I got out of the concept: A social object is something that you care about enough to form a social bond around. It’s an interesting, external […]
Behance Dot Grid sketchbook — Beautiful and Frustrating
My Behance Dot Grid Book is open on my desk, taunting me. It’s a handsome spiral-bound sketchbook, with slightly-toothy paper that takes pencil well, and erases nicely. I’ve had a love-hate relationship with it for the last few weeks, and I’m trying to work out why. Impression The book is attractive in a way that’s qualitatively different […]
Pale Fire
(I have a bug in my ear about a particular project that I’d sketched, kind of forgot about, rediscovered, and keep on revolving around to. Lucky you, you get to hear about it.) Vladimir Nabokov wrote on index cards, and this enabled him to create wonderfully nonlinear books. One of my favorites is Pale Fire, a […]
Org pr0n roundup 3 - Flickr + Obsessive Compulsive Behavior = Fun!
One of the nice things about displaying your mental illness on Flickr is that like minds find you. And then they give you more things to twitch and drool over, yay! For example, I thought I was the interweb’s “index card guy.” But it seems I’m going to have to cede the title to Flickr user […]
Org pr0n roundup 1 - Flickr Groups
(I’ve been a bit busy recently, and I’ve missed out on pointing at a lot of things that some very clever people have been doing on the web. This is the first post in a series, where I try to remedy that.) There’s really very little on the web that can beet Flickr for sheer, utter […]
Dave Gray’s Post (index) cards
.flickr-photo { } .flickr-frame { float: left; text-align: center; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Post cards, originally uploaded by dgray_xplane. Dave Gray got a document-feed scanner, and he’s been using flickr to […]
Growing up is hard to do…
Dave Seah has had an epiphany: The big insight is that I’ve not taken responsibility for my adult existence, and instead have been rather more indulgent of my childhood impulses that I’ve realized. And while I’m not a parent, I can perhaps repurpose the mentality to create my own “sense of mission” toward myself: […]
Mandatory Apology
