The reveal! After wondering what this Dribbble thing is that everybody’s been talking about for the past months, it’s fun to finally see the curtain pulled off.
Brilliant idea. Perfect execution from Dan Cederholm (of course). When a site like with this kind of attention to detail is launched it’s an inspiring experience (the last one like that for me was the Glitch site, which at a four page teaser still got me all excited).
I wonder, if I actually was able to get an account, would I be inspired to dust off some long unused design chops? I do miss that whole process.
Map design in Modern Warfare 2 by Cennydd Bowles. Cennydd gave one of my favorite talks from SXSW, but that was about art and beauty and design. Even though I’ve moved on to playing Battlefield Bad Company 2, it’s fun to see him write so well about such a different topic.
Meatpaper is a print magazine of art and ideas about meat. We like metaphors more than marinating tips. We are your journal of meat culture.this is meatpaper
Panic is a constant inspiration. I bet you could make an entire business out of creating these for other offices.
Just the simple act of “publicizing” those numbers — not in a cruel way, but a “where are we at as a group?” way — has kept the support process on-task and, I think, made it a bit more like a video game.
“More like a video game” is really the key phrase for me here. I can really see myself going after that last nagging to-do so the champagne animation appears. Otherwise, really, what’s my motivation here?
Some nice work with Webkit, too!
Last November, we asked if the Philadelphia technology community was ready to take the next step. Tonight, at a trimmed-down Ignite Philly, we got a glimpse of what those next steps may look like. The event, which forces speakers to cram a presentation into a fast-moving five-minute speech was better attended and was better at holding the attention of attendees than its predecessor (see our humble slideshow).
Can’t believe five of these have already happened. Well done, Geoff.
