This is a promising market if other outfits like http://www.trunkclub.com/ and http://manpacks.com/ are any indication. I think the trick, though, is making sure that you can align style with your customer. When i first saw trunkclub i

In the abstract, i understand, why anyone would post this. I get it, and maybe i'm getting older or something, but part of me equates posting this sort of thing with pointing at an acquaintance on the street with his fly down and having a l

Was i the only person that was a little disappointed by this 'awareness' piece? I've recently noticed some unintuitive (initially) painting issues: box-shadows with large blur radii freak out webkit/mobile safari. I had thought my site wa

When i see the tote bag, i think of http://designobserver.com/images/features/jacobs.jpg which, if you ask me, is beyond hilarious and the most ridiculous self-lampooning brand statement ever. Jacobs by Marc Jacobs

i don't actually understand why this was downvoted. The point is fairly valid. More to the oss point, if you want to really treat this in an oss sort of way, then fork the project's theme or what have you, make skinning it a sort of project

no, there is no category. this might as well be "how to build a python app" 1. print "hello, world!" 2. finish your program the point is that there's a lot missing between the two, but we often present the progression between

the point is that you don't limit yourself from the outset by designing in code (i.e. you don't impose implementation restrictions that can be resolved with images/js/svg/whatever). it's a double edged sword, though, i don't think the artic

this is a pretty entertaining story, especially for the following: Gates and Allen thought they could process the traffic data cheaper and faster than the local companies. They recruited classmates to manually read the hole-patterns in the

I am wiser than any god or scientist, for I have squared the circle and cubed Earth's sphere, thus I have created 4 simultaneous separate 24 hour days within a 4-corner (as in a 4-corner classroom) rotation of Earth. See for yourself the ab

This portion of the post that deals with 'random' data gathering is pretty interesting because it almost reads like a case study on how to discover flaws and biases in software development, testing, & analysis. It's almost like a remind

This may not answer your question, but it reminds me of a time when i was talking to someone and i made some comment about how i was a pretty reasonable web developer and he quickly responded "no, i think you misunderstand, you're a web dev

i'm inclined to assume that your comment is in reply to the gizmodo article's comments that are all "oh the humanity" and "boycott now!" Still, i think the visceral reaction from commenters is due to the disparity between social demographic

Sort of misleading title, more like "Inside a foxconn dorm" an aside, it's a bummer that the photos, which appear to be 500px wide, are resized in the webpage to be 1000px wide making it look totally janky.

So, i had the opportunity to use gspeak for the better part of a year at risd and what's probably not explicit from looking at demo videos is that you actually don't need to move around that much. The system is remarkably good at tracking m

So, this is a neat idea, but the way css is designed (i.e. half-leading model) makes generalized baseline alignments completely horrid because you end up doing all these positioning gimmicks based on the exact descender depth of the font

ok, so that's super informative. In my life, i've had a few trysts with writing and ended up buying an Olivetti when i was in college. that's been a good investment and it has also had the effect (which i find positive) of slowing down the
