Came across an animation of OS X folders colored and turned into scrolling Folder Type.

Couldn't help but notice the similarity to the Songs About Rainbows OS X Application. Zeitgeist or otherwise?

For their Film and Music issue, Tokion asked me to create something for their 'Project' section. I decided to take some old VHS packaging and turn it into characters from the movie 'The Fifth Element'. They're also asking people to submit their own creations to http://www.tokion.com/project/, though the site hasn't been updated with my project yet.

An anonymous "fan" of my daily photo project alerted me to an advertisement on a Mexican news site featuring a before & after image of my face. Needless to say, I was shocked. I did not approve nor even receive a request to use my likeness for what I can only assume is a craptacular micro-shaver. What's more amazing is that they added hair to the top of my head!

In any case, I am in need of some international legal help. I'd like to know what options I have in regards to this matter. Please email if you have advice.

Two recent user-interface touches that I found especially comforting: First, Devon Technologies website greets me at 3am with a custom hello message. Second, Apple's Mail.app decides that 76 attachments (it was spam) is too many to count.

I just finished up a fairly lengthy interview with Arjen Noordeman for CranbrookDesign.com about my work and how Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder fits into my design processes. I think it's quite a read for those of you interested in the finer points of why I do the things I do.

In an attempt to gain access to my flickr account, I had to login to Yahoo! Mail. I haven't touched it in over a year and a half probably, but was absolutely delighted to find this photo of my before & after picture on a wonderful little positive propaganda poster in the hospital bulletin board. I can only hope I made a difference in at least one person's life.

Damn the internet is amazing!

Keetra & I just finished work on a collaborative type piece for Dimension and Typography: A Survey of Letterforms in Space and Time, an exhibition being shown in Chicago at I space from January 9 through February 7. And while we won't be able to attend the opening or show in Chicago, there is another piece in the works for a D.C. show in January as well... more details sooner or later.
