With the imminent purchase of Tumblr by Yahoo! - I find I can summon little optimism about the service’s future. Marissa Mayer may still be considered “new blood” - but I’m assuming the people tasked to execute whatever vision she has for the company will most likely do it in the same awkward, ham-fisted ways we’ve come to know and expect from Big Purple. Without feeling much like I’m veering into unfounded assumptions, I think we can expect the following for tumblr over the next fiscal year: confusion, neglect, reactivity, dissapointment, and finally retirement.

I originally started building a test rig for something I want to build a physical model of (an LED array) and ended up building this instead. The code is a disaster, but the results are pretty. No guarantees that it will work on anything but webkit-based browsers.

Random logo design, crazy sprites, martian typography… this kind of graphic accidents are pure retrogaming beauty, and something hypnotic for a graphic designer like me. Do you think the same?
In a report from 1967, Walter Cronkite takes us on a brief tour of what they imagined the home office would be like in the 2000s.
In the 21st century, it may be that no home will be complete without a computerized communications console.
Cronkite also toured the kitchen and living room of the future.

I’ve been busy. I went to Japan for a while. Then I moved to Seattle. The impulse to make had to go in the boxes I packed for Seattle before I left to enjoy myself (deeply) in Japan. Then i got back and spent the last two months spinning up a new job, learning a new town, making a new home in the middle of a Seattle winter. No time to think about projects, no time to chase down ideas. But now it’s time to wake up and remember who I am and what I need - to be a maker and designer in all things. Time to dial back in, turn sketches and notes into actual projects, and get about the business of being creative. I made it to the Northwest. Now it’s time to make it count.
