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 [...]
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.

I had the honor of meeting and befriending some amazing folks. A partial list:
Jennifer Magnolfi, Matt Jones, Timo Arnall, [...]

I’ve come to the hypothesis that all engineering problems can be solved through the methodical appliance of yellow stickers. It’s amazing how much you can talk and talk, but when you finally draw it all up and put it on the wall, and rearrange a bit, suddenly things just [...]
(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 [...]
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 [...]
Some hairy “life stuff” has seriously curtailed blogging and web time, lately.
But fear not! I bring gifts.
Via Core 77, we find Indexed, a collection of amusing sketches on index cards.
And that’s all I got. Sometimes, life’s like that.
(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 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: [...]
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….
