- Ira Glass on Taste vs. Ability (November 6, 09)
- This is so good to hear. I dislike almost everything I design and have folders full of work that’ll never see the light of day, but that’s OK. One day my ability will catch up with my taste, I just have to keep at it. The fact that Glass is brave enough to play his old tapes like that proves how genuine the advise is.
- XKCD Movie Narrative Charts (November 2, 09)
- Awesome. I especially love the one for Primer. Sums the film up pretty well.
- 10/GUI (October 14, 09)
- Awesome. But why not an on-screen software keyboard? Or even better, a keyboard projected under the fingers on the touchpad? The localisation and app-specific benefits would be massive and, I think any iPhone owner would agree, it doesn’t take long to get used to.
- Dyson Air Multiplier (October 14, 09)
- A desk fan without blades. Dyson have been producing some very cool stuff recently but this is something else…
- TabToolkit (September 22, 09)
- Agile Partners, creators of the indispensable GuitarToolkit, have released a companion tab app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Awesome.
- Screenr (September 15, 09)
- “Now you can create screencasts for your followers as easily as you tweet. Just click the record button and you’ll have your ready-to-tweet screencast in seconds.” Very slick.
- Ivan Sutherland’s Sketchpad (August 22, 09)
- Developed in 1963, decades ahead of its time. Fascinating.
- Sudoku Grab (August 18, 09)
- How Sudoku Grab, a great little iPhone app that can digitise printed sudoku puzzles, works. I can’t wait to start playing with these techniques at uni.
