Restoration Hardware's Cast Metal Letter Collection
Sand-cast aluminum "in a beautifully proportioned serif font," finished in chestnut bronze. Available in four sizes from 4" to 12" for the entire alphabet, as well as ampersand and '@' characters.
My Photoshop File for Friday's Layer Tennis
Last Friday's Layer Tennis was a blast to participate in, despite having no more than about 20 minutes to complete my artwork. If you'd like to see how I did what I did, download the PSD.
I'm providing the file for educational purposes, so please don't abuse the privilege by using the photo or design elements in your work. I've removed elements from previous volleys that were not mine.
Website for the 2010 Masters Golf Tournament
Of course, the tournament is over, but if this resembles what the site looked like during the tournament, I'm thoroughly impressed. Quite a departure from typical sports reporting.
New HTML5 Form Field Type: range
Amidst all the HTML5 buzz over the past year, somehow I missed this: HTML5 offers a new input field type, type="range", which renders a UI slider for entering data anywhere between the min and max values you specify.
This feature could become as useful as CSS multiple backgrounds, in that a) it's long overdue and b) we're already faking it all over the web.
The HTML5 presentation from which this slide was taken, by the way, is wonderful. It's an interactive...
Winscape Virtual Windows
When I think of my days as a boy envisioning of the future, this is something I might have dreamt of. Sure, it requires the viewer to wear an IR-emitting necklace to realistically change the view outside the "windows", but fascinating nonetheless. (And I suspect we'll see similar concepts in the near future that do away with the neckless and rely on eye/facial recognition instead.)
iPad vs. Kindle: An E-Reader Showdown
Joelle Alcaidinho, Unplggd:
While we love that the iPad is more than an e-reader, we do not like how difficult it is to read outside, the incredible amount of glare (even indoors, all too often all we could see was our reflection instead of the text), and the weight (one handed reading on the train is a serious no-go). Reading on the iPad also does not provide the same book-like experience as it does on the Kindle. Thanks to the e-Ink display on the...
iPad Winners
Congratulations to Glen LaFortune and Phil Coffman for winning an iPad 16GB Wi-Fi + 3G and 16GB Wi-Fi, respectively.
Tallying the numbers from a few hundred poster orders and a couple dozen postcards, Random.org spit out the number 35, bestowing Glen the fortune of winning an iPad. (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun, Glen). The low number also meant those who placed orders within only a couple of hours after launch were destined to win, deservedly.
Phil's Colosseo micro-site hovered in the top 3 s...

Two iPads To Be Awarded This Weekend
This weekend I'll randomly choose one lucky winner to receive an iPad 16GB Wi-Fi + 3G. Colosseo Contest #1 ends today, and you can enter to win by purchasing one of my posters.
Also ending today is Colosseo Contest #2. The box containing an extra iPad 16GB Wi-Fi that arrived April 3rd is already gathering dust—I'm excited to award it to one of you.
Much like the Dribbble and martian poster contests, some amazing sites and posts have been published for the second contest. A few of these are...

Speaking at LessConf 3010
In October 2009, the hashtag #lessconf began showing up repeatedly in my Twitter stream. The tweets were remarkably positive for something I'd heard nothing about previously.
It turns out Steven Bristol and Allan Branch of Less Everything, the bright minds behind LessAccounting, were hosting a conference. Crush It! author Gary Vaynerchuk, Wufoo founder Kevin Hale and others spoke, and nearly 200 of you attended.
This year's LessConf 3010 resumes in Atlanta, Georgia, May 21–22. I'll be...
