Good friend and great Austin based photographer, Adam Voorhes, has released some photographs from his project photographing malformed human brains.

Recently our friends at Frank asked us to contribute to the Frank Public Art wall.

Come on by to meet them, check out some of their clothes, and to tell Cody he needs to clean up his beard.
Finding out about Facebook purchasing Gowalla made for some good news over the weekend. We’ve got a few friends and have been lucky enough to work with Gowalla a few times over the years, so are really proud to hear that Facebook values them us much as we do. They’ve always been a great company whose focus on design has gone a long way over here at our office. I’m sure that focus will make a big impact with Facebook. Congrats guys!
