Louis Harboe has recreated 11 iOS icons using nothing but CSS. Incredibly impressive.

Like many others before me, I’ve moved the weblog portion of SimpleBits over here to Tumblr. I did this for many reasons. I like that there’s one f!@#$ing template. That’s it. I don’t miss comments. I don’t mind that archives aren’t styled the same way as the main theme. I’m actually excited about the subtle social aspects of Tumblr.

I don’t have time to customize another CMS. I used to love having the time to customize a CMS only to find a better one and customize that. I’m aiming for efficiency now. I enjoyed designing this theme. I don’t like that simplebits.com is a redirect to stream.simplebits.com.

I have 10 years of archives. I had fun adding responsiveness to this design. I need to reskin the shop. I need to add static pages for speaking and about sections. I need to figure out what I’m going to do with the portfolio. If I waited till everything was perfect I would’ve never launched this thing. I’m now ok with doing things in stages. I think the most important thing in all of this is that I’ll be able to post quickly, easily, with less effort.

I’m looking forward to telling you more once I finish the book I’ve been writing for the past few months.

Having long been a fan of eBoy’s pixel art, this new iPhone game caught me attention immediately. But what’s interesting here is how simple yet addictive it is.

“Piece together” 100 of beautifully chunky posters by tilting your iPhone in certain directions. My only complaint is that it can be so fast paced that you often fail to stop and admire the artwork.

Illustrator and Dribbble Rebound King™, Craig Henry launches a new portfolio, with prints available for two of the pieces. Would love giant poster versions of all these.

Re-imagining four common products from 2010 as if they were designed in 1977: an mp3 player, a laptop, a mobile phone and a handheld video game system.
