It’s a shame the money counter doesn’t work in my browser to show anything but the science art scenario.
Looove Jessica Hische.
Overwhelming.
Ommwriter is weirdly fantastic. I have only spent about 5 minutes with it but I feel like I could use it to write a novel.
Impressive that you can make a blog post like this. I’d do it sometime but Email, Other Email, Simplenote, Google Doc, Other Google Doc, and Google Reader is not a very interesting assortment.
The Wieden+Kennedy site is a great find. It makes me ask myself why my designs feel so “webby”. That site has great ui/ux elements, but feels unlike “standard” websites.
Exactly my thoughts too, Grant. I’ve been consciously trying to avoid that ‘webby’ look and feel recently. Failing, as usual.
Merlin Mann is dope…i have a friend who works at weiden/kennedy @tylersticka
