Mosque →
“Oh blimey”, I thought, “another call to another bloody mosque”.
The woman had apparently collapsed, people do a lot of collapsing in churches and the like, and with the proliferation of mosques…
Sao Paulo: The City That Said No To Advertising -... →
I mentioned Sao Paulo’s advertising ban last year and hadn’t really though much about it for a while. Then I saw a Sky TV advert last night that used Sao Paulo’s blank billboards as a…

Minimalist Web Design Showcase →
Perishable Press reviews ShaunInman.com in the context of their minimalist design series with a mini-interview at the end. I’m obviously biased but I thought it was an interesting read. #
How to recreate Silverback’s Parallax →
Paul Annett describes how to achieve that excellent faux 3D background sliding effect using layered alpha-transparent PNGs. Ignore most of the comments. #

Looking Toward 0.5 →
The people at the Habari Project have recently released version 0.4 of Habari. If you don’t usually read my blog, then you might not know that I help write this software and that the software is what runs this site.
Following up on the 0.4 release, I wrote a kind of “manifesto” for what we need to accomplish for Habari 0.5, and then I read the whole thing into the computer so...
Orticanoodles collab with SNUB23 →
Romanywg posted a photo:
Really liked this from the very first time I saw it (somewhere on here no doubt).
Weathered a bit now but still strong. Just the perfect placement.
Sans iPhone: The debriefing →
I survived. Although the wife pointed out that I “cheated” on a couple occasions by accessing information for a few contacts that weren’t synced elsewhere, I managed to make do without my iPhone for a week, swapping it for less capable devices such as the Sony Ericsson K750 and Nokia 6680. I’ll be publishing something substantial here on an unrelated topic next week and...

Equal Measure Jug →
Equal Measure Jug shows an alternative measurement. For instance, 550mls of flour contains as many grains of flour as people on the planet. Extraordinary. “Do you want to measure stuff the old-fashioned way or would you prefer to view your measurementsin a surprising new light? Fred says, go for it - next time you make brownies, use a tyrannosaur’s brain of flour, or sugar equal to the water in...
The Lunar Eclipse of February 20, 2008 →
You may be aware that last night a lunar eclipse occurred that was visible from North America. The last time my friend Tim Miller and I photographed a lunar eclipse was January 20, 2000, and the temperature outside was -11F. Fast forward 8 years to last night, and temperatures were much better: 3F.
Temperature wasn’t the only difference. The rig we used to photograph the eclipse was also somewhat...

The Adventures of Darius and Downey: And Other True Tales of Street Art looks like it’s going to be a cracking book and it’s going to be released any day now. If you’ve not seen their street-based interventions work before then there are a few photos here.

John Gruber: A Mix of the Technical, the Artful,... →
John Gruber has been writing the often quoted, ever popular Daring Fireball since 2002.
I had the privilege to interview John via email and ask him some questions that don’t seem to get asked. Of course we talked about DF, how the Linked List began and how he got into Macs. But we also talked about writing, what John eats for breakfast and more.
And yes, I also got a lesson in email...
An angry Microsoftie vents his spleen →
This guy works at Microsoft but doesn’t mind bashing the hell out of them. He’s so fed up with Borgware that he’s switched to a Mac. Money quote: “I know I’m becoming a snotty Mac user, but after months of having made the transition, I understand why we go snotty. Apple doesn’t churn out perfection, but they’re hyperaware of the user experience. Things...
