GiantBomb.com
It's like if Wikipedia and Gamespot had a baby, only better. And it's powered by Django.

Twitter took off from simple to 'tweet' success
The comments from (ostensibly) normal people on this USA Today story about Twitter are telling (and funny).

Adobe Illustrator Shortcuts
In the arcane world of design application shortcuts, there's always something new to commit to muscle memory.

Beautiful, beautiful photography. The shots of Chicago are especially fantastic.

Nice technique for creating sparklines from existing markup, using the canvas element.
General Projects
Ben Pieratt does great design work. Hire him.

I think I linked to this guys' photos of garages before, but this series of billboards is too amazing.
Johnny Cash On Sesame Street
My favorite celebrity appearance on Sesame Street so far. Johnny Cash singing "Don't Take Your Ones to Town" with Big Bird.

The Loopt SMS Mess
Loopt really screwed this one up.
Josef Müller Brockmann
Nice collection of posters from one of the Swiss masters.
Radiohead House of Cards video
If you haven't seen the new Radiohead video, it's awesome. And for my favorite song on the album.
Byline
iPhone app for accessing Google Reader. I hate the way the official Google web app looks and works, and offline reading is nice, but not sure it's worth $10 just for that.
Want Obama in a Punch Line? First, Find a Joke
Interesting NYTimes piece on why it's so hard to make fun of Obama (hint: it's only partly to do with his race). Favorite quote from Letterman's producer: “We can’t manufacture a perception. If the perception isn’t true, no one will laugh at it.”
Feist Really Likes the Number Four
Leslie Feist on Sesame Street.

The Optimizer

Every designer is wired differently. Some people are idea people, some people are artists. I'm an optimizer.

Indistinguishable from magic

Fri, 05 Oct 2007 19:35:00 -0000

I love video games. I'm terrible at most of them. But I'm a sucker for a game with a good story.

Airport express

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 21:17:00 -0000

Recently I learned two things about interaction design and user experience from waiting in lines at the airport.

Shouts and echoes

Tue, 29 May 2007 01:06:00 -0000

There have been some situations lately that have got me thinking a lot about the Internet as a megaphone for personal communication.

Mantra

Mon, 07 May 2007 17:04:00 -0000

I learned too little from my grandfather, but what I did learn I will remember, and repeat, forever.

It must be spring again

Tue, 10 Apr 2007 21:21:00 -0000

Who says San Francisco doesn't have seasons? It feels like spring to me.

The problem with pixels

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 20:29:00 -0000

Relative font sizing is great, but it can get messy quickly. Now that IE6 is on its way out, is it safe to start talking about using pixels again?

The distance of home

Sat, 08 Jul 2006 01:04:00 -0000

When I left home, it took a couple of thousand miles of driving just to get back.

Everything falls into place

Sat, 17 Jun 2006 16:45:00 -0000

In which our intrepid hero takes a dream job, moves across the country and sees his future spread out in front of him.

That uncertain feeling

Mon, 05 Jun 2006 04:08:00 -0000

I'm about to leave a perfectly good home and job to move across the country. A lot of things are uncertain, but I'm optimistic.
