Hey there,
I'm not sure where that came from! Did you find it on Rob's bee blog?

Modern • Postmodern
My dear friend Debra Pughe passed this along to me. Modern The movements (of Modernism) are the products, at the first historical level, of changes in public media. These media...arose in the new metropolitan cities, the centers of the also new imperialism, which offered themselves as transnati...

@Charlene, I've forwarded your comment to Richard. I think having an application on the website is a very good idea and have suggested that as well. Good luck!

A Residency at Pope Valley Pottery by Ryan VanHoy
“You see, being here is not about this!” Richard lifts a beautiful thrown ceramic pitcher and thumps the fifteen-foot dining room table with it emphatically staring me down with a cold and resolute expression of absolute authority. “Being here is about the person. How one walks, talks, eats, ...

Hi Debra!
It's from Gwent outside of Wales. Disturbing video, the level of gore is pretty extreme.
I am sure someone is writing more about this kind of stuff, but I don't know where...

Texting while driving, think Ballard
It's lost its buzz a bit, but this video created as a public service announcement regarding texting while driving is gruesome and powerful. Note: I couldn't find the actual source video on YouTube, but this one looks real enough. Covered in a NYTimes article, and retweeted zillions of times,...
Yeah, it's pretty shocking when you see it laid out in a graphic like this. Brutal times.

Interesting unemployed versus job posting infographic
Wondering why it's so hard to find a job? Indeed.com has an interesting infographic of the current job situation across 50 major metros. Check this out! Note: click on the graphic below to see it in its full glory, it's too big to put on here at 100%.
Keith! Thanks for commenting. You work at Skitch? I don't think I realized that, even tho you mention Skitch in your post. If you do, let me thank you personally for contributing to such a killer tool. Nice work!!
I'm going to have to check out that pattern link. There are some great design pattern resources out there. An obvious one is YUI as well. Looking forward to more posts from you!

10 UX myths, condensed
Keith Lang whipped out a great post over on Carsonified, demystifying ten UX myths. It's really good stuff, and he covers each with humor and ease. That said, it's a little long, so I will give you the condensed version. Photo by cobalt123 Myth #10: If the Design is a Good One, You Don’t N...
A little jaded, are we? :)
I'm serious, I think making stuff that is suggestive of greatness can be very powerful. Most big companies have a hard time doing that well, primarily because their decisions to go "simple" are often motivated, as you say, by limited resources, conflicting directives and crappy implementation. But when you're looking at the individual inentors and startups that are making stuff that is "simple" but evocative, it's often because they have passion + limited resources that force tough decision.

Is a good goal just to be "good enough"?
Photo by occhichiusi There's an interesting new Wired article on what they term "The Good Enough Revolution". In it they posit that the intersection of high-tech and low-fidelity is where "good enough" was born and that it's transforming the world as we know it. As the article states, from...

Hi Mark! Thanks for commenting.
I know I'm one of many people who have parallel blogs on Tumblr, and of course I've used & am amazed by the ease of Posterous. That said, I find it tedious to have to go back and forth from the Tumblr Dashboard to the Typepad Dashboard ad nauseam. I'd really appreciate the amalgam of Tumblr's clarity, reblogging and somewhat passive community & TypePad's strengths.
I certainly wouldn't want to see them wither, but I vacillate between advising people to use WP and TypePad and pointing people to Tumblr as their web front end. This is one step closer to an ideal wholesale package.
You guys have made some great updates lately. Nice work!

New TypePad microblog service - Will this obviate Tumblr & Posterous?
Just yesterday, I wad discussing with Jason Wehmhoener whether folks and businesses should focus on services such as Wordpress and TypePad or defer to simpler alternatives such as Posterous and Tumblr. As of yesterday, TypePad includes a microblogging capability and new tiny-templates. This ...
