You may have noticed — it’s been pretty quiet round these parts.
So I’m being lazy by sharing emails instead of writing blog posts — but it’s been a busy time and with any luck there should be some exciting news at the end of it.

I’ve been thinking more about Scott Stevenson’s great post debating Google’s approach to designing by data.
TweetDeck is a great application with a pretty average dock icon. This morning I decided I’d whip up an pair of alternatives.
So you’re reading this thinking it may be slightly interesting. Maybe because the title seemed catchy, but not because this applies to you.
So I just found out Digitalmash has been featured in last month’s MacUser ‘10 of the best online portfolios’. Huzzah!

I have a confession to make. Like quite a few designers, I’ve got a sprinkling of OCD about me.
Well it’s that time of year again. Things are winding up and for most of us, we’ll have a little time away from the grindstone.

No, I’m not talking about drugs. I picked up a cheap drawing tablet recently and thought I’d share my first experiments with it in Photoshop.
Ok, I admit — it’s a title that could turn some people off. It’s going to be a nightmare searching for it on google. But dammit, if nothing else, it’s original.
