I bought the compilation of The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite a couple of days ago because my wife had a subscription of Archie comics which she had to pick up. I was very happy that I did. I rarely read comics so I may not be the best critic for these things. [...]

Mmm… interactivity

Monday, October 5th, 2009

I rarely come across a website that captures my imagination… and Spectra did it for me. I just saw this site by accident while browsing through another site. Spectra is msnbc’s visual newsreader.

Tron Legacy: Sequel to Tron Movie

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

I’m a fan of the futuristic style of the old Tron movies. I think I even had an atari game of it. I have a dvd of the original that I re-watched a couple of years back, and personally I thought it was a bit slow. I guess movies back then were. [...]

A refreshing look at medicine

Monday, July 20th, 2009

A friend posted this as his facebook status, Help Remedies has created a set of medicines and bandages with awesome packaging. The packaging was alluring and drew me in. I found out that it was made of biodegradable material, another plus for awesomeness.

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

Ironically, I saw this link on top of Gmail: “Wired Top Stories – Google’s Data Culture Drives Designer Crazy, and Out.” Of course I had to click on it. It turns out that Stopdesign founder Douglas Bowman is leaving Google as its Visual Design Lead. According to his blog at stopdesign, he [...]

You’ll know that the world of interaction design has reached mainstream if a banker sends you a link asking you to look a this cool new technology in a video he saw on TED… and he saw it before you did!  That’s what happened to me, my uncle, a businessman and banker sent our family [...]
