Saw Matthias Dittrich’s portfolio on lookom and wanted to link it up. Nothing too crazy here but I really like it. The simplicity of the layout and the interactions – particularly the dragability of everything – kind of gives the site an environmental/tactile feel. Check it out:
Check out this awesome new site about the Apollo 11 mission. It’s the reason why microsites should exist. There’s tons of little interactive elements to explore and learn about the Apollo 11 mission. The coolest part is that to commemorate the anniversary, the entire mission including the timing of events will be recreated online….
Inspired by a recent post on Mulvey’s Blog, I plunked down $2.99 for the iPhone Pano App. My biggest complaint with the app isn’t the “cancel” button verbiage (as Michael points out) – though that is hella-confusing – it’s with how Apple handles images in your phone’s library that are bigger than the resoluiton offered…
Update: After shipping the broken watch back to Phosphor and a few weeks of back-and-forth with customer support, I now have a functioning replacement. 3 months later…

Q: Are there ways we could design ubiquitous systems that might support personal autonomy?
A: …When given some kind of real-time overview of all of the…
I stumbled across live|work recently and have enjoyed reading their articles and perspectives on Service Design. Particularly this passage:
when production takes place in one place far from where the product is consumed the relationship between producer and consumer becomes impersonal, disconnected and ultimately unsustainable.
There’s an awful lot being written about our nation’s food consumption habits…
I stumbled across these videos the other day. Between this and TED I can see myself devoting even more of my day to ideation/stimulative thinking.
So I’m on the train this morning sitting across from this PSA about giving your seat to the disabled. And for the life of me I can’t figure out which one is the disabled individual. This is because there are two conflicting forces at work here – one revolving around color and the other around…

Paul Hawken:
But let’s begin with the startling part. Hey, Class of 2009: you are going to have to figure out what it means to be a human being on earth at a time when every living system is declining, and the rate of decline is accelerating. Kind of a mind-boggling situation – but…
