The idea behind the ICON project, as told by designers Nathan Goldman and Dan Kuhlken: “Every film has one. A signature prop, set, or location.

The Great Discontent Magazine, Issue 1
The Great Discontent is one of my absolute favorite web publications. Their interviews with creative people from all over the web can often be inspiring, entertaining, touching, and even funny. The site is quite beautiful and features some excellent photography. (I love the site so much that I was inspired to begin conducting some interviews of my own a while back.) And…
Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore
I’ve been on a bit of a reading kick lately. First was the Shady Characters book I mentioned here the other day, then Cloud Atlas (an incredible story, in my opinion), and now I’m making my way through Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. Mr. Penumbra’s tells the story about a young web designer who loses his job thanks to the recession of the…

Roku 3
The Roku has been a long-time favorite of those who the AppleTV just doesn’t cut it. Tonight, the Roku 3 was announced. With a new UI and a new chipset behind it, the Roku 3 is much faster than previous version. The new remote has a headphone jack in it, which is (quite frankly) amazing. I don’t understand why I haven’t seen…

CARROT: The To-Do List with a Personality
Remember the Tamagotchi craze of the 1990s? You know, those little virtual pets you carried around in your pocket? Ever imagine what it would be like for that cute little alien to grow up into a HAL 9000-esque robot that ordered you around while cracking jokes about you? That’s basically how I would describe this hilariously awesome new to-do list app called…
‘When We Left Earth’ Documentary
27 years ago today, the space shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds into flight, killing all seven aboard. While the accident was caused by a faulty o-ring in the shuttle’s right solid rocket booster, a much bigger problem at NASA was found by the investigators: NASA had become complacent after decades of routine flights. Discovery’s When We Left Earth chronicles manned space flight,…

bloc for Apple TV
The Apple TV might not be the cutest Apple product currently on the market. The small black box might look like a hockey puck, but it’s found its way in to the living rooms — and hearts — of many Apple fans. One problem with the design is the weight. Clocking in at just .6 pound (that’s 272 grams), it can be pulled backwards…
