The sort of stuff that makes my IA heart sing. A good collection and great resource - especially to point non-UX professionals to.

Interesting example of bringing an tech interaction into real life. (First spotted via Moco Loco.)

Interesting but still finding a voice and a style. In some ways it’s almost a dead-pan Onion style.

Great MP3 blog with a handful of bands I know, and a bunch I don’t. Worth throwing in your RSS feeds and checking in semi-regularly.

Looks fantastic. Hopefully my local shop will have a copy. (I hate having to order from Amazon when you can get it from an indie shop.)

Chow's Nagging Questions →
From Chow comes a Q & A column that addresses some of those random questions that pop up from time to time. It’s not as detailed as some of the experiments you’ll see elsewhere (America’s Test Kitchen for example) but they’re still a fun read.
The J-CLOCK: kanji designed clock app for iPhone →
A simple, free app - kanji-based clock with a few skins. I figure it works best when sitting in the dock, charged. I’ve been leaving it on my desk as is for a pleasant distraction.

Official Gmail Blog: New in Labs: Send & Archive →
I am not one of those “Zero Inbox” freaks but I do appreciate the idea of moving mail out of my Inbox once I reply. Now if only Google would have the balls to take Gmail out of beta.

Flat Top's "No Lemon" Blue Lemonade
Digging through a stack of old ticket stubs, cocktail napkins and assorted items I found a coaster with this scribbled on it:
Take a pint glass with ice and add
1 oz. Vodka
1/2 oz. Blue Curacao
3/4 of the rest with sour mix and the remaining 1/4 with sprite
Shake, garnish with lemon and serve.
Strangely enough I don’t ever recall drinking this in the countless nights I spent at...

Crazy awesome covers of 80’s tracks.
Camerabag (iPhone App) →
Looks like fun. I love the idea of emulation options direct on the iPhone. It keeps me from having to worry about post-processing. Plus, if you’re taking the pics with your iPhone you probably don’t care all that much about quality.
