Bits & pieces

What's that traffic light on the new iTunes window? And, it's nice with that new icon but couldn't they have rethought the entire thing? iTunes feels like an unfitting name for something that does so many different things (you don't go to the "Music Store" to buy a book, do you?)

Pictos, the Icon Font

The normal practice among web developers for icons have always been to embed them in images and use CSS to display. We do this so much, we hardly think about it at all any more. Pictos, however, is a clever way of taking a step away from this. Instead of using images, you embed the Pictos font and use that instead.

Simplenote gets an update

My favorite note taking app, Simplenote, has just been updated — or perhaps upgraded is a better word. Along with a new more visually appealing graphical reform, we're seeing tons of new features and updates to the service itself.

Camera Phone Lenses

Fisheye, macro and wide angle lenses available for use with camera phones.

Your Lucky Day

High quality short about the chaos that a little lottery ticket can set about.

Daddy and Crispin, sitting in a tree

June 11th, 2009

Boulder based Crispin Porter + Bogusky, a renowned advertising agency, announced today that they will be buying one of the Swedish all stars; Daddy, as a part of their expansion in Europe. This is a big. If you’re into digital and living in Sweden, you definitely know the work that Daddy has done. It’s very high quality, all of the time (look at their old site for the good stuff). I hope that the new U.S governance will add to the great legacy that is Daddy.
