Banana Republic 1987 Holiday Gift Workbook January 16th, 2020 @ 5:40 pm PST

When I was in elementary school, these are the clothes I imagined I’d wear to work every day.

LogoThief: Shaming Design Plagiarists

Gators

Gator Helvetica T-Shirts September 5th, 2012 @ 6:42 am PDT

I’m sure you’ve seen the Helvetica t-shirts. The classic one displays “John & Paul & Ringo & George”. (The creators of that shirt have a pretty good website detailing its history.) Someone needs to make some of these for classic Gator combinations. Here are my suggestions: I know, I know. I forgot to include Percy […]

Real Products for Fictional Companies

Real Products for Fictional Companies October 17th, 2009 @ 6:20 am PDT

The excellent local blog CurbedLA had an entry recently on artist Mark Bennett’s blueprints of fictional places. He has created very detailed floor-plans of famous pretend places, like the homes of George and Jane Jetson, Rob and Laura Petrie, and June and Ward Cleaver. (There’s a book, too!) I thought these were terrific so I […]

Star Wars Design Flaws

Star Wars Design Flaws August 21st, 2009 @ 1:59 pm PDT

Note to the Emperor: Someone on your Death Star design staff is in the pay of Rebel forces. Oh, right, you can’t get the memo because someone threw you down a huge exposed shaft in your Death Star throne room. from John Scalzi’s Guide to the Most Epic FAILs in Star Wars Design

Stop Being Broken

Stop Being Broken February 7th, 2008 @ 8:38 pm PST

My buddy Bry has a brilliant new site: Stop Being Broken! (The exclamation point is not part of the site’s name, although I think it should be.) I’m not just saying that because I have repeatedly asked him for favors, eaten food with him, and met his wife. It’s seriously really good. Check it out!

Blackberry Pearl Keyboard Lock

Blackberry Pearl Keyboard Lock November 8th, 2007 @ 9:05 am PST

I’ve had a Blackberry Pearl for a few months now and, in general, I love it. It’s a great phone. I love that I can check scores on ESPN and use Google maps and — as a surprise bonus — I can send and receive phone calls and text messages. Here’s what bugs me: The […]

Email Should Always Be Plain Text June 10th, 2007 @ 9:45 am PDT

I hate when people use Word as their email editor.

SpaceKits

SpaceKits December 4th, 2001 @ 6:49 am PST

SpacecraftKits.com has an interesting way of keeping their costs low. They do it “through mass production, and by putting the extensive assembly instructions and fact sheets … online, rather than mailing them to you.” I think that’s a great idea. That way if they want to revise some part of the instructions, or add schematics […]

eMail Messaging

eMail Messaging November 20th, 2001 @ 9:53 am PST

Update 2016-03-18 — Boy, was I wrong about this one. In my defense, though, it was pretty awful to read email on your phone in the year 2001. “It’s the interface, stupid!” I got in a discussion recently about text messaging on mobile phones. I don’t understand why so much money is being pumped into […]

If credit card debt or student loan payments are killing you, I highly recommend taking a look at SoFi. Their low rates and incredibly quick and simple application process might be just what you need.
