Wordless Web Plug-in
The former Google Creative Lab Creative Director Ji Lee (with contributions by Cory Forsyth) has created a nifty plug-in with the Wordless Web. The plug-in will take any website and remove all text, leaving only pictures behind. An amazing way to remove the noise. Check out Ji Lee's website for more inspiring work: http://pleaseenjoy.com/
Cool Hunting Video Presents: Icon Bronco
I have recently fallen in love with this video series from Cool Hunting. Not sure why I didn't find it sooner. The video here talks about the tremendous value of simple design. These folks have zeroed in on a mega-niche market, but you have to appreciate the brilliant fusion of vintage machine meets new-age tech. I'm sad I don't have the $200K (estimated) to get into one of these masterful works of art.
Coolhunting.com: Cool Hunting Video goes onsite meeting artists, designers and other innovators to get an insider look at their inspiration and process.

On sunny summer siestas, I sometimes sketch...
The emphasis on "sometimes"... More like rarely. I should stop and do this more often.
Back to UI
Working on some fairly cool designs for the healthcare industry. And for those interested, UI Stencils is a must for sketch-heads like me. :)

Adobe's Project
SWF to HTML5. Well, I guess Flash is not quite dead yet. News keeps trickling out about new functionality emerging from Adobe to use the Flash software to develop HTML5 (CSS3) animations.

Corning's Vision of the Future
Between 1998 and 2001, a team of friends and I would make videos just like this for many big US tech companies. A ton of fun. Part of me misses having that opportunity. The other part laughs how outlandish those ideas were back then. Craziest part... some of our hopes for the future came true. :)
