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 […]
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 […]
Whoosh… click. … Click. Whoosh. … Whoosh… click. … Click. Whoosh. … Whoosh… click. … Click. Whoosh. … Whoosh… click. … Click. Whoosh. … Whoosh… click. … (I bought a real filing cabinet this week.) … Click. Whoosh. … Whoosh… click. … (You realize, I’m going to be playing with it like a kid with a new toy. For days.) … Click. Whoosh. … Whoosh… click. … (Nope. No life. Thanks for asking.) … Click. Whoosh….
Adam Greenfield is the author of Everyware, a thoughtful and expansive examination of how the digital dissolving of the transactions that shape our lives will affect us as human beings. One of the effects of Everyware (or ubiquitous computing, or ambient intelligence, or pervasive computing, to use some of the ambiguous terminology in common use) […]
It is a great comfort, when browsing the web, to see that I am not the only sad bastard that’s been trapped by the allure of analog technology. For example, Montblanc pens are things of beauty. These fetish items have wonderful writing qualities, but they cost obscene amounts of money. Here are instructions on how to […]
(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 […]
As soon as I saw the Make blog’s iPod cassette case hack, I had to try this out. Presenting, the ghetto index card bleachers: No modification necessary. Hey, I bet zip disk cases would work even better….
I’m disgustingly infatuated with Dave Seah’s Information Graphics. Stop me before I build a little shrine and start camping out on his lawn. [EDIT] Oops. Dave Seah is not Dave Shea. Which I had just read. Don’t think of your tongue.
I first ran into Sacha Chua online, when I was flirting with learning emacs planner mode, after John “Genehack” J. S. Anderson demoed his GTD setup for me. The combination of wiki, planner, and plaintext was seductive, but in the end, I just do too much paper and digital sketching, which can’t be shoehorned […]
Via Dave Seah, I bring you the Productivity Geek’s Dating Kit. Dave says: I have to admit I’m a little curious about how they put everything together from a packaging perspective…is it actually useful, or is it primarily a novelty gift? Hmm… I’m guessing, “novelty.” But maybe that’s just me. On the other hand, you do […]
