Dribbble
Latest from the Notebook
Things I Saw Today
There is no fold. Viva la scroll!
I hate camera straps. But LumaLoop looks like it could be the savior of my camera-carrying woes.
The ABCs of Branding is a sweet poster that’s “…foil stamped and embossed to create an alphabet composed of letters from many of the more famous (and some infamous) logos of all time”.
I also saw photos of an amazing art installation made entirely of large quantities of salt.

Things I Saw Today
The incomporable Jason Santa Maria has officially launched his own studio, Mighty. Congrats!
Parliment Design has one of the most beautiful studio interiors I’ve seen. With lots of detailed photos about the process of creating it. (via)
Art in my coffee gets a fresh new design by Meagan Fisher (co-curated by Meagan and Jina Bolton). Foamy awesomeness, indeed.
idsgn’s holiday gift guide suggests some pretty neat things, including our own Ampersandwich tee.

Things I Saw Today
My favorite iPhone game (and my son’s) is new and improved and now free. Grab Ramp Champ if you haven’t already.
The Raphaël JavaScript library does some interesting vector drawing stuff. The chart demos are particularly cool.
A newly-produced Muppets version of Bohemian Rhapsody? Yes, it’s real (and quite awesome). (via)
There are many reasons to love Pictory, a new photo magazine from Laura Brunow Miner and Jeff Croft. Editorally-driven submissions from photographers and storytellers around the world, beautifully executed.
I also stumbled upon Instant Chewbacca, which will likely come in handy at some point. (via)

New Tee: Ampersandwich
Now available at the shop.Ampersandwich tee
Delicious typography. A super-soft, “Tri-Blend” t-shirt in espresso brown from American Apparel, printed with everyone’s favorite logogram (set in Knockout’s Ultra Sumo weight). Peanut butter? Mustard? Fluff? Jelly? Either way, we think the ampersand is a ligature for eat and not et.
The Ampersandwich Tee is available now over at the shop. For fine typography aficionados such as yourself.

1.
300&65 Ampersands
An ampersand a day keeps the… something away. This is my kind of calendar. ∞
2.
American Pixels
A series of subtly mosaic’d photographs by Jörg M. Colberg. ∞
3.
Espresso, Intelligentsia
Perfect little video on how to make good espresso. Beautifully shot. (via) ∞
4.
Alphabet City prints
Artist Scott Teplin’s “… series of 26 dream-houses fashioned after our alphabet”. ∞
5.
Blogotheque’s Take Away Shows
Ethan turned me onto these excellent candid videos from bands like Phoenix, Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver. In their own words, “every week, we invite an artist or a band to play in the streets, in a bar, a park, or even in a flat or in an elevator, and we film the whole session”. ∞
6.
Letterpressed by steamroller
Now that’s one way to make an impression. Found while looking for local letterpress shops. ∞
7.
The Setup
Waferbaby has been conducting nerdy interviews with folks about their gear. The latest features another nerd named Dan, who hides behind a ballcap. ∞
8.
Going Nuts with CSS Transitions
Wonderful article by Natalie Downe on using CSS3 transitions and transforms. Excellent and appropriate examples. ∞
9.
Grain Edit interviews IS050
Great interview with the multi-talented Scott Hansen, aka ISO50. Several things resonated with me here, including: “I am not sure that I understood what graphic design was at the time, but looking back I think I was practicing it early on”. I think the same thing happened early on for me as well. I was always aware of branding, graphic design, etc. Just never applied myself to it until later in life (and really, because of the web).
∞
10.
2009 in photos
The Big Picture’s annual roundup for the year. Part 1 of 3. Naturually, there are some incredible captures.
∞
11.
Hooray Coffee
A gocco print by Nate Duval that I just purchased for our kitchen. Found via the excellent Print Society.
∞
12.
15 Things Worth Knowing About Coffee
An educational, illustrated guide. (via)
∞
13.
Think Vitamin interview
A quick interview with Carsonified’s Keir Whitaker, on bulletproof design, CSS3 and a little leak on what Dribbble is.
∞
14.
Loopland
The website of illustrator Allan Sanders. Fantastic aesthetic. (via)
∞
15.
A Font Grown From E-Coli
“[Jelte] Van Abbema created the font by stamping bacteria into paper, and then placing the paper in a jury-rigged incubator, which provided the right humdity and warmth for the organisms. As they multiplied and died, the resulting fonts changed color and shape.” (via)
