Monday, February 26th, 2007

Fabio Franchino is a computational designer. His site showcases his works with Processing and other computational design tools. I stumbled upon his site while looking at the artists who exhibited in“Further Processing.”

The problem with web software

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

Flickr was down for a couple hours a couple of days ago. They had problems with caching. So a lot of people’s photos were showing “phantom photos” or photos of other people on their photo library.

Velluminous

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

While on the topic of ex-IDII people, I just discovered david lu’s missing site. He seemed to have moved from his david-lu.net address to the new one: velluminous Which I guess makes sense since his is the “boy who loved vellum” :)

Reinvigorate (your metrics)

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

A couple of weeks ago, I got an invitation to beta test this newish site metrics web software. I’m not sure if this was the same one, but I tried reinvigorate before. And back then they were still tracking site traffic but by using flash.. or embedding a flash code inside your flash [...]

Growing leaves and switching (type)face

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

I’ve dropped the Clarendon font as the official typeface of Perlas Design Studio. I wasn’t so attached to the typeface and saw it more like a generic Helvetica. The idea of using that font came from Jeffrey Zeldman, and with their redesign of Happy Cog I saw that their use of the font [...]

Holy Smokes!

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

Been wanting to post this excellent photography site which showcases “colored smoke” photography.  I can imagine how hard it is to capture these images.  There are some post-production involved but what the heck, the images are magnificent!
