What She Wore →
“Inspired by the silver screen goddesses of the 1960s we created our own modern day story of this stylish era and what they wore.”
Gorgeous. I’m loving the yellow coat - so eye-catching!
How to Catch An iPhone Thief →
In which Google stalking is taken to whole new heights.
Realism in UI Design →
“People are confused by symbols if they have too many or too few details. They will recognize UI elements which are somewhere in the middle.”

Sushi etiquette →
I cringe every time I see someone dumping blobs of wasabi into a puddle of soy sauce and using their chopsticks to mix it into a lumpy, unappealing soup.
The Third & The Seventh →
A film by Alex Roman that abstractly showcases modern architecture as art, done entirely in CG animation. It’s fairly long but astonishingly beautiful, definitely worth watching (make sure you view it in full-screen, and turn HD on).
Very, very catchy. Girl and The Sea by The...
