SOME RANDOM DUDE

Happy 2008. I will be back on schedule from this point forward with some format changes and some cool articles in the coming weeks.

This week was a little slow around here, but that will hopefully be changing next week with the webcam project being published (if enough participation occurs). Even with the fewer posts, you can always rely on the (consistently late) Designing Good links.

Enjoy the links.

There are some great links to some great design this week. I really am blown away at the flood of great work that is being put out. Even more, I am surprised how this work does not get props anywhere but niche sites. My hope is eventually these sorts of projects will be more than just a niche topic. Ironically, a lot of these designs were brought to life to tackle issues that are ingrained in daily social discourse. It would be nice for potential solutions to very large problems getting more attention from the media than a panel of nut-jobs yelling at each other.
