This will have to fill that void with the conclusion of EPL and hockey season almost over, I enter that strage space in time where sports cease to exist. Neymar looks particularly sick in this ad.

This has been done a thousand times before, but for some reason I eat it up every time. Its refreshing to see a tech brand embrace heritage, tradition or whatever you want to call this, especially when too many players trying to be Apple/Intel (and doing embarrassing job of it). Well done Qualcomm, well done indeed.

Sometimes, its awesome to jump in the Delorean and go back in time to look at shit that is just totally awesome. Youd never see this today, let alone anything like it. Just some dude (Otl Aicher) banging out some work for the olympics like im doing for some face-less non-profit right now — only his is far more rad and I have more tools to work with. Perspective, people, perspective.

This could, perhaps, be the most boring logo ever. Nets moving to Brooklyn and owned by Jay-Z = total opportunity to do something rad as fuck. Come on!

Maybe I’m a spoiled elitist, but I feel that there are two schools of UI design, Apple (also maybe Facebook) and Microsoft/Google. I am obviously of the Apple doctrine, so this new Windows baffles me as much as every version of Windows before. You have to understand that Windows has a lot of legacy to it and a large base of accustomed users, so I see why they preserve a lot of features from previous versions, but I believe its inherently flawed and this new “Start” screen is a perfect example of a band-aid on a gaping wound. While it’s nicer and much more simple than the old school pop-up window, the file system remains jacked and there are too many GUI’s for me - for instance I dont give a rats ass how many bits per second my computer is copying something, just do it and dont bother me.
I was excited however at first when I thought that the entire desktop was replaced by this app screen. I thought, “YEAH Microsoft! Way to take a play out of the Apple playbook” - launch everything via apps, no more having to deal with Windows explorer every 3 minutes, no more run codes to stop your computer from going crazy because some application bugged out. I’ll never have to see “Flash Player has an update ready to install” annoying me like a kid tugging on my shirt to play with him as it sits in the corner. Alas, my hopes were shattered.
Here is where my frustration stems from - besides Windows XP for years - this past Christmas I bought a Samsung Galaxy S II in lieu of my loyal iPhone 3GS. Technically the Samsung took my iPhone outside and beat it silly, it had expandable memory and a drive-in style big ass screen. However, I could only last a few hours before running back to Best Buy to return that thing because the UI was so terrible. In order to get to settings I had to browse the manual. I dont check manuals. Ever. Im a man. But, I had all these home screens that just confused me. My process went something like this;
I have weather on screen #4 but I also have this weather app… I can also change the size of this app on the screen - does that mean i get more features if its larger? How the hell do I get rid of it? Can I even uninstall? This weather app blows and I want to get a better one from the store… who organized this bloody thing? Is this free? Where are the reviews? Where’d it install to, the screen or apps? How do I get this app on homescreen #1 instead of #4?
It was just an overall disaster, I felt like my Grandma with her new TV. Some of you may say, “you’re comparing products by two different companies on two different platforms” but to you I say, the executions are so similar they’re basically the same thing. Plus, Windows 8 was designed with tablets in mind so the mobile OS is comparable. Bringing me to my next point, the mobile OS should be separate from traditional desktop versions. When you start combining it with a desktop application that doesnt use gestures you’re screwed.
In short, I’m really looking forward to Mountain Lion.

The “I dont give a shit!” scene is what plays in my head all day at work.

The Guardian does a contextually relevant version of the Three Little Pigs.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen something awesome enough to post. The streak is broken!

I blame this for the death of the newspaper. I clicked through a Facebook link to read something on the Washington Post which was broken, so i tried to do a search for the article. But before i could find the search bar I was beaten bloody by links and navigation options. Fifty-eight — FIFTY-EIGHT! different navigation options i have before ever scrolling.
I dont know whats worse; that they remind you in the bottom right corner of how things used to be or the fact that they make you pay for the privilege of digging through this shit pile?

Cool work by this dude. Kinda reminds me of Draplin, but more depth. Love, love, love his work.
