Alessi’s Spring 2006 Collection. Lot’s of great design here; I particularly like the MoiraMoira placemats by Ron Arad.
Giant pillow fight in San Francisco. How did I miss this?
Dave Werner’s portfolio site is amazing. Not only is there some great work here, but the presentation is really warm and welcoming. The videos in particular are a nice personal touch. Also check out his Saint Petersburg branding platform.
Lack of money is no obstacle. Lack of an idea is an obstacle.
Who would have thought an RV could be this stylish?
This multipoint touch screen is incredible. The video does a great job at showing how this sort of technology can revolutionize UI design. I can’t wait to see this stuff go mainstream. (Apple tablet anyone?)
LED Throwies, a cool art project by Eyebeam OpenLab. Make sure you watch the video.
Ning.com uses the left-border of text-fields to indicate required information on their signup page. Very clean design solution.
Update: As my roommate who works for Apple points out, this doesn’t work in Safari because Safari won’t let you style form elements. I guess that’s why they still have the stars there…
Hey you guys, we are talking!
I found the following story quite amusing:
I am reminded of a great story a friend tells of some cavemen sitting around the campfire 100,000 years ago, chewing on the last bits of meat, chatting in guttural sounds. One of them says:
“Hey, you guys, we are TALKING!
“What do you mean TALKING? Are you finished that bone?
“I mean we are SPEAKING to each other! Using WORDS. Don’t you get it?
“You’ve been drinking that grape stuff again, haven’t you.”
“See we are doing it right now!”
“What?”
This is from an article about the singularity on Kevin Kelly’s blog The Technium. The Technium has some interesting stuff about the evolution of technology, worth checking out if you’re into that sort of thing.
