The Unbearable Lightness of Art Supplies
There has been some changing of the seating chart at my office recently, and in the process, I’ve seen some of my colleagues — art directors on the print side of the organization — moving the contents of their flat files back and forth along with their seats. Watching them do this in the background, I realized that since we first took up residence in our our new building last year, I’ve barely paid attention to those file cabinets, which store [...]

Sign-upness
The other day my pal Sam asked me how I managed the Fever notification sign-up page. He wanted to do something similar for a new project he’s working on. So I sent Sam my source code and we decided that others might benefit from this simple solution. The States My sign-up pages usually have three states: The sign-up form The status message for subscribers The unsubscribe message for the dearly departed All three states are served from the same page.

Bright Idea Shade from Michael Mandiberg on Vimeo. The Bright Idea Shade is a project of the Eyebeam OpenLab, by Sustainability Action Group members Michael Mandiberg and Steve Lambert, with Simon Jolly, Peter Duyan, and Oscar Torres. We are converting all of our silver tipped incandescent bulbs into CFL bulbs (as they burn out.) The problem is a bare CFL bulb gives off harsh light that sometimes prevents people from making the change. So we set about designing a lampshade [...]

Matt Alt reports on his blog that his wife is currently unable to create an account on Facebook, because they will not accept her last name of Yoda — a common enough family name in Japan. They’ve tried to get in touch with the site’s customer service, but still no response. time savedtime saved

An Event Apart, Day Two
The second day of An Event Apart San Francisco is drawing to a close. The day opened with my talk, Patterns in the Process. You can download the slides if you like—Creative Commons licensed, as usual—but just looking at the slides is like trying to listen to a presentation by putting a glass against the wall of the building next door. When I was giving my talk, I thought it was kind of rambling and incoherent. But it went down well [...]
