Turning to more cycling-focused things for Fall.

Above, Pinch.
Back in February when the winds were harsh and the temperatures on the wrong side of zero, a few of us went over to Design Within Reach and went to take a look at friends and industrial designers Craig Berman and George Aye’s juried creations in the flesh, Pinch and Perforated.
The set has been posted on Flickr for your perusal.

If you’re a photographer who’s embraced the DSLR, you’ve no doubt heard of or work with RAW files.
I made the switch quite a while ago and have been working with them for some time now. The quality is unsurpassed in manipulating digital images. For a long while however, it seemed that the technology for working with RAW files was shoddy and turned many would-be-RAW-shooters right off. Including myself.

The still-fresh, brand spankin’ new relaunch of AIGA.org has had a lot of well-deserved press around the web. The Happy Cog crew did a hell of a job.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have now been involved in the design processes of two major AIGA redesigns in different capacities. The first time around when Flat redesigned the national website, I worked under Behavior with Khoi Vinh to come up with designs for the Design Forum. This time around, I was again, fortunate to be pulled in to work on the AIGA redesign, but not on the public-facing website, but rather under the hood and behind the scenes on AIGA.org’s CMS interface.

I’ve mostly recuperated from the behemoth that is SXSW. I took a lot of notes in my moleskine and decided to do an infographic poster regarding my experience (instead of being lengthy with words — I am a designer, so I should flex the muscles a bit and display information concisely and visually) and some of the smaller details and minutiae of the event. You can see a larger version here or you can download the printable 11×17 PDF poster here.
Some notes:
My SXSW photos, all 140 of them are here.
It’s funny how this in-depth interview is very much in line with how I’ve transitioned from riding track bikes to racing and riding other kinds of bikes.
Ty Lettau is photodocumenting Pantone™ colour chips to objects, surfaces, whatever.
America is f@#ked. Brethren Aaron James Draplin in his own words. Amen, brutha.
From our good friends at the Busy Beaver Button Co.
Restrained in a good way. No gaudy CRIBS type excess, unless you consider his high taste and mix of pop and couture excess.
1, 2, 3, 4.
Lovely work, in black and white and grey.
The redesign of Mozilla Labs that I did recently is now up and running.
Andrew and I were interviewed for an article about Twitter recently. It’s now live on the Chicago Tribune website. I sound like a buzzkill at the end. In a good way, to me, anyway.
“Talking about sports using war analogies – athletes are not ‘warriors’ and the court is not a ‘battle zone.’ and “Drinking light beer. There is nothing good about light beer, especially when it’s called ‘lite.’ Our taste buds are one thing – why do you have to assault the English language as well?”
