A wonderfully produced video about a wonderfully produced portrait made of 3.2 million individually hand-drawn dots. I can only imagine the hand cramp this guy had when he was finished.

Most people attribute the first 3-dimensional feature length films to John Lasseter and Steve Jobs’ Pixar. The reality of the history though is that Walt Disney developed a system to add depth to movies far before they were in business together, which is why December 5th, 1901 is a special day. Happy Birthday Walt Disney! Thanks for all of the great movie making and happiness you added to so many children’s lives.

I’m not sure why anyone would need to have the history of the typewriter recited, but Ignacio Uriarte directed this film doing just that with Michael Winslow of Police Academy fame.

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!

Camping should be fun and about having an adventure in your own awesome way. That’s the attitude behind this new brand that does an incredible job documenting their adventures while having a good time. They make well designed gear for everyone, not just bearded mountain climbers (male or female). So check out this rad Portland based company Poler and pick up some camp vibes!

Apparently you've read through all of the note cards. Good work.
