Scout - a new iphone app that seems to have an amazing UI. Will be testing it out soon to see if there are any UI patterns of note to possibly implement.
ra ra riot | too dramatic (wood & wires session)
just discovered this guy’s videos on vimeo. pretty awesome live sessions!
nothing quite like learning a new program during dead week. prototyping for the lab!
…i’ve got a headache, but i’m working on more components. i’ll get a first draft work up here soon.
it’s been a minute since i’ve updated this. here’s the current state of my hi-fi wireframes- definitely changed a few things over the past month, look forward to the first prototype coming up!
tool that enables touch interaction on many different connected surfaces through a mobile phones’ camera view. The translation of touch input coordinates to the captured video feed creates the illusion of being able to directly manipulate a distant surface. As a result, the interaction feels natural and almost invisible.

freddie joachim ft. carlitta durand | keep lovin’ (eric lau remix)
LQ- buy the track from itunes here!Welcome to Storyboard
An introduction to Tumblr’s new home for community features.
Being a geek is all about your own personal level of enthusiasm, not how your level of enthusiasm measures up to others. If you like something so much that a casual mention of it makes your whole being light up like a halogen lamp, if hearing a stranger fondly mention your favorite book or game is instant grounds for friendship, if you have ever found yourself bouncing out of your chair because something you learned blew your mind so hard that you physically could not contain yourself — you are a geek
The Mary Sue defines what it means to be a geek, a beautiful definition that falls (un)surprisingly close to what it means to find purpose and do what you love.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.
