I began by flooding my apartment mailbox with postcards showing appreciation and respect for my mailman— an inconspicuous job. I mailed a series of ten postcards addressed to Kevin at my address. Though, I only learned his name after he answered my first inquiry. He discovered my postcards as he sifted through his daily deliveries. I tucked a pen inside my mailbox, allowing him to answer my prompts immediately.
Ingenious.
Really digging their site navigation.
Imagine building a website with no internet:
Recently, I set out with twelve other designers and developers for a 19th century fortress on the Channel Island of Alderney. We were going to /dev/fort, a sort of band camp for geeks. Our cohort’s mission: to think up, build and finish something – without readily available internet access.
Well, not completely without Internet, the team could hike thirty minutes up a snow covered hill to catch some tubes at the Airport.
Old castles, no distractions, and a lot of talent seems to have worked well judging by the final product: spacelog.org.
Ben the Bodyguard is a forthcoming application that claims to “potect your passwords, photos, contacts and other sensitive stuff on your iPhone or iPod touch.” I can’t vouch for it’s effectiveness, but I can say that Ben’s website is awesome.
This is Where We know: New Orleans As Home and it looks like a beautiful book. Want to save physical books? Make more amazing ones like this. An object you want to hold in your hands. More shots and info at Ace Jet 170.
I really like the look of Fox’s redesigned NFL game stats. A welcome change from the cheesy robots and other tchotchke they had been serving up. I look forward to seeing them in action this fall. (via)
This must have been a fun sign to design.
“Swedish designer Fredrik Hylten-Cavallius designed the Piet, a chimney-free indoor fireplace with a brass reflector that burns ethanol fuel instead of wood. Because it doesn’t give off smoke, there is no need for a chimney, making it versatile and portable.” What an excellent idea.
