Lulu Book Publishing

Posted by Chris Tingom on October 20, 2011 at 6:22 pm.

If you are ever considering publishing a book, you should check out Lulu.com. I haven’t used it myself, but have a friend that has used it, and have heard good things. Plus, any company that cares this much about design must be doing something right, right?

The Cult of Done Manefesto

Posted by Chris Tingom on September 30, 2011 at 6:19 pm.

This idea reminds me of another… the 80% is good enough for now rule (I made that up). It goes this way: It’s better to have something 80% done today, even if it isn’t perfect, than to have something 100% done and have it be late.

Full story, on design.org.

Not to be confused with the Pareto principle. Which I have written about before, incidentally.

A video from the Space Station has captured what it feels like to fly over the Earth. I added my own touch.

Climate Reality

Posted by Chris Tingom on September 17, 2011 at 8:00 am.

I don’t agree with Al Gore’s theory’s about the climate, but I dig the new Climate Reality web site design. Simple layout, with a basic color palette. It really works well.

I was watching this amazing video about a coffee shop / bicycle shop and really liked the web site for CremaCycles.
