1. A wee bit overgrown… on Flickr.

    The St. Louis Zoo sign is a tad bit overgrown with ivy…

  2. Gateway Arch on Flickr.

    I was walking around the Arch Grounds with my wife before a Cardinals game when I looked up to see one of the brightest blue skies I’d seen in a long time. The clouds were positioned perfectly.

    My wife was pregnant at the time with Jane. Thanks in large part to this long walk, she ened up on bedrest a week or so later, then delivered Jane at 28 weeks.

    So this picture has a *lot* of sentimental value. It may not be expertly composed, but I can’t help but look at it and smile.

  3. At Google I/O 2013, Google’s Rachel Garb & Helena Roeber presented on Android’s Design Principles. (tl;dr Enchant, Simplify, Amaze).

    While I’m very familiar with Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines, I came to realize that I knew next to nothing about Android’s design principles (except for how much I hate having to design for Android’s fragmented ecosystem of software and screen sizes).

    This presentation is pretty good, and definitely worth your time to watch – especially when you see the opening shot of Garb & Roeber behind a Macbook Pro with an Android sticker over the Apple logo. :-)

  4. An unexpected helicopter.

  5. It’s a #scotch outside kind of night.

  6. Sweet-ass whip, dawg. #stretch #custom

  7. Jony Ive on Tail Wagging

    One of the things that really irritates me in products is when I’m aware of designers wagging their tails in my face.

    Here, here.

    Matt Gemmell has much more at the link above, and it’s most definitely worth your time if you care about design.

  8. What a fun track from 2007.

    You know, the lost decade.

  9. Damn, I miss DFW.

  10. The future of Adobe Fireworks

    I’ve only accidentally opened Fireworks, so I’m not at all surprised to see it get the chop with Adobe’s move to Creative Cloud. 

    Does this mean that Photoshop will get PNG32 support now?
