2UNFOLD Laptop Bag:

The beauty and utility of this laptop easily warrant the €379.00 price tag, in my mind.

Visual Designer Needed at Tandem Diabetes Care

Visual Designer Needed at Tandem Diabetes Care:

Having a son with diabetes, I'll readily and happily suggest you consider this opportunity. It's a 3-month position (possibly longer) involving research and user interface design for the company's products. Incidentally, Suzanne and I are considering an insulin pump for our son, which appears to be what Tandem Diabetes Care specializes in.

Wired Magazine's iPad Edition Goes Live

Wired Magazine's iPad Edition Goes Live:

This is really something. Videos, photo features, interactive ads… Publishers should be at Steve Jobs' door thanking him for sparing them the gradual death of printed periodicals.

Why Creatives Are Always Confused

Why Creatives Are Always Confused:

Bob Hoffman, CEO of Hoffman/Lewis Advertising:

When their friends like it, their clients hate it. When their clients like it, their friends hate it. They are encouraged to be collaborative. But the more people touch their work, the worse it gets.

Look Both Ways: Illustrated Essays on the Intersection of Life and Design:

I received a copy of this book in the mail today (signed by the incredible Debbie Millman, no less!). It's unlike any other book on my desk with its handwritten type and interspersed illustrations. I suppose if I had a copy of Orbiting the Giant Hairball on my desk they might be similar, at least in design.

Nonetheless, I'm really looking forward to reading it.

Evans G Plus Coated Drumheads

Evans G Plus Coated Drumheads:

I've been a Remo Clear Pinstripe guy most of the time I've been drumming, but last Christmas I asked for the Evans G Plus coated heads after reading some positive reviews. I finally got around to installing them this past weekend. So far, so good. They seem to have more volume and a warmer tone than the Pinstripes.

And for tuning your drums, it may be difficult to find a more thorough guide than Scott Johnson's Drum Tuning Bible. Although I didn't follow his...
