Quiet, Redux

Things have been, and will continue to be, quiet around here this week and part of next. I'll be speaking at Future of Web Design in just a few days, so amidst travel and content preparation, the post button may be left untouched. (I may not be as quiet on Twitter or even Instagram.)

But, I shall leave you with a pile of linkage while I'm away. Here goes.

Khoi Vinh wrote a book. I pre-ordered.
Not sure which side of the door it's meant to protect, but how about a labyrinth door chain?
Remember the post I made about converting Canon 7D footage to 1000 fps with Twixtor ? Well, Rickard Bengtsson converted footage shot with a Canon 550D (T2i) to 1000 fps, and it's soaked with awesomeness.
Need tiled backgrounds that aren't full of fail? Try Tileabl.es.
How can you avoid reading an article with a title like this? The Day The Internet Threw A Righteous Hissyfit About Copyright And Pie.
The Glif iPhone 4 Tripod mount closed $137,417 in grassroots-esque funding. What a brilliant success story, having asked for only $10,000 originally. Glad I was able to contribute.

Rob Walling on why it's easy to be great but hard to be consistent: "It's easy to come up with great ideas, and it's a breeze to start coding them. It's only slightly harder to turn them into a functioning product. But it's extremely hard to consistently focus on an idea over months or years. Very few people have the discipline to do it." A good read about making it to the finish line with our ideas.
I finally had the pleasure of meeting Liz Danzico at Brooklyn Beta. For all of two minutes. Thankfully, The Setup interviewed her. I feel closer now, at a hardware/software level, of course.
Speaking of Brooklyn Beta, couple of wrap-ups from the event about the topics presented, one from audience member Sam Brown and another from fellow speaker Kevin Cheng.

See you a bit.
