Saturday Morning Animation – Logorama
Been around a while but worth a rewatch. (There are swears. Just sayin’.)
Legacy of Letters
With so much done on computers these days, it sure is lovely to see someone so masterful at doing something by hand.

Alien Vs. Predator Skate Deck
This is a skate deck really tickles me.
Wait, that didn’t sound right.
This is a skate deck I can really get behind.
No, that’s not right either.
Never mind.
(Thanks, Andy!)

An simply stunning letterpress design from Ty Mattson beautifully designed and executed. Seriously. Everyone else can go home now.
Printed by the always amazing Studio on Fire. (Check out their blog Beast Pieces to see what I am talking about.)
A Tiny Apartment Transforms into 24 Rooms
I don’t know about the orange windows but, otherwise, pretty fantastic.
Over 40 – July 2010
This was a pretty busy month. Spent a week in McCall Idaho. My home computer workstation completely died. Spent two days messing with it. Couldn’t even get Windows to reinstall. It has now been replaced with a new iMac. Wasn’t ready to spend the money but I had to have it. Our dryer broke so we had to replace that as well. Saw a great art installation in the Presidio in San Francisco. Oh, and I got a concussion from messing around with my friends. It lasted a good two weeks.
Over 40 – June 2010
June was a month for watching soccer, i think I did a few other things in there but I can’t remember.
Johnny Lee demos Wii Remote hacks
Johnny Lee is brilliant.
Over 40 – May 2010
I’m Back! Rarin’ to go. What happened in May? Hmmmm. That was a long time ago. Can’t really remember too much about it. We did buy a new TV. Exciting, right? Went to AZ to see the folk. Was given a brand new computer at work. (I REALLY needed it.) Got as free hug from a dude in Portland.
Over 40 – April 2010
And then what happened? We are having a kid in November which is very exciting. The weather was horrible. Lots of work.
David Carson on Design + Discovery
David Carson, the designer behind Ray Gun magazine, gives this interesting talk about typography and the breaking the rules when conveying a message with type and design at the TED conference. He is a pretty funny guy. What he says at the end is pretty true as well and it is something that you should ask yourself every now and then.
