Medium reminds me of Jux, both of which make me wonder if I should just throw my hands up and succumb to hosted, tailored publishing platforms⊠If we compare digital editorial design to the craft of menâs shirt-making, art-directed pages would be bespoke shirtsâluxury items uniquely made for an individual. On the opposite end of the spectrum are off-the-rack shirts, idealized designs manufactured en masse. Like article templates, these are […]
Normann Copenhagen has got some beautiful products (take this Beater Whisk, Butterfly can opener, or this Hang On Coat Rack) I wish I could get my hands on, or find if not pirate cheap versions of locally, but what pushed me over the edge into writing about it here is this neat set of Dropit Hooks and the way they’re presented on their page. I’m not just talking about the […]
“Ok, letâs face it: the standards are very high. EWO probably wonât be as successful as STIUTK and so there probably wonât be as many covers, remixes, mash-ups, memes or whatever people may come up with of it (thank the Lord!) as there have been of ‘that hit’. But this doesnât mean that EWO deserves less attention. On the contrary, for me, itâs one of the best songs on ‘Making […]

Fast forward to today, I ran into this project that transforms any WordPress installation into a Svbtle-like interface. That’s on top of Obtvse, Essence of Blogging, and several more others. People […]

I’m supposed to be hunting down a new phone (I have a 100% track record of losing phones on buses) but for some reason I can’t bring myself to choose, the main reason being I don’t depend on my phone that much. I wish voicemail were the norm in the Philippines because there are times when I don’t feel like attending to calls smack dab in the middle of work. […]
I recently worked on a site redesign that features different blogs in its posts. The site also used plural forms for category names, which to me felt unfriendly in describing individual sites. For example: “Pet365, a pet blog” seems more human and appropriate than “Pet365, filed under Pet Blogs” If people are lobbying for more readable hyperlinks with URL sentences and relative/fuzzy date formats are commonplace these days, I believe […]
There’s a WordPress Obox theme I’m editing right now that returns broken images when post thumbnails don’t exist. Considering this is a premium theme it’s completely stupid that I have to fix this myself. (This is why I use Get the Image most of the time, at least it’s able to pull images already entered in the post, in case the user neglects to upload post images.) The culprit seems […]
