I realized this morning that MIX is just a few weeks away and by a few I mean less than four. I can’t wait. MIX might be my favorite week of year (sorry Holiday Season) and this looks like its going to be a great year even Joshua Topolsky (Mr. Engadget...
I’ve gone a little dark on the blog lately, mostly due to a suddenly very busy schedule (a good thing for our small team of one at Pixel Lab World Headquarters). I’m excited, though, to share a little about at least one project I’ve been working on: Seesmic...
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post. Read More...
Funny how your own site is always the lowest priority when your job is to create websites for other people. It’s like the auto mechanic with the broken down car. Well, last week (while I was on vacation with the family) I was finally able to sneak a couple...
I found out today that my MIX09 worskhop is now officially online. I won’t lie, it’s kind of long. The session is three hours of what I wish I had learned about design when I jumped on the design wagon train. You’ll either want to do this one an...
1. Stickers For those of you who have submitted haikus, it’s finally sticker time. I’ll be mailing them out in about a week. Between now and then, please send me a physical address where I can send the sticker. Also, let me know how many you want...
My hats of to Microsoft today for putting on a truly inspiring keynote. Deborah Adler shared her story of redesigning the little orange prescription medication pill bottles that we’ve been using for the last 50 years. I love that story and I heard...
If you’ve been following me on twitter at all this week, you know that I’ve fallen off the typography deep end. I’ve been working on the typography slides for the workshop at MIX and become, well, a little obsessed (and/or annoying depending on...
I just came across this great addition to the already very cool Kuler color picker app (which is, in case you haven’t seen, now Expression friendly). It’s a visualization of color additions by season and geographic location. The impact of culture and...
With MIX quickly approaching, it’s time for the (soon-to-become) annual tradition of producing some Kaxaml swag. Last year I made buttons (the kind you might pin to your backpack). This year, I’m faced with a choice about what to make. Well, since the...
I just finished this and it was good enough that I wanted to share a couple of thoughts. So, yeah, this is a book review—my first ever (unless book reports count, and then it’s my first since 7th grade). Bottom line: XAML guy, you should read it. If you...
A really interesting way to evaluate the rhetoric and ideas on the minds of our Presidents over the past two or three decades. via ReadWriteWeb.
President Obama (2009) President Bush (2005) President Clinton (1997) President Reagan (1981) Read More...
I’m pretty intimidated by the amount of time I’m going to be wired to a microphone at MIX this year: a total of something like 7 hours (even after you account for breaks). Yikes. So I’m preparing content early. Like I mentioned earlier...
Design Loves a Depression is a great read from last Sunday’s New York Times. Michael Cannel, a former Times editor, predicts an era of well-deserved recompense for the design community, one that will atone for the frivolity it has enjoyed over the...
Our man Gary Hustwit (producer of the typography-for-the-every-man documentary Helvetica) released the trailer for his new documentary Objectified. I really loved Helvetica and I’m just as excited about this one. It appears to be his take on industrial...
