I am working at howies this week.

Jon and Alex are putting me up in Bwthyn Barri. Heating has been a bit sparse to say the least.

Slept with a wooly hat on for the first time in my life last night.

Arrived home from howies to a cold cottage so we are staying put in our BFJ’s and hats for the time being.

I made it work now. No more jackets or hatz. We’re banging out The Welcome Wagon (thanks Zoë for showing them to us) and washing up after Bangers & Mash – Taste sensation!

Also yes I am putting 35mm film in that 120mm Mamiya.

The Do Lectures have made this RAD flip book to showcase what they’re about.

It’s stuffed full of beautiful photos from the likes of Jonathan Cherry & James Bowden.

They just shoved a digital version online. Badass.

In the sandwich van queue Pete, Aron & I came up with this t-shirt.

We just put it live on our website.

We don’t expect it to last very long.

In bed the other night I had an idea for a ridiculous error 404 page.

I just mocked it up in like 5 mins.

Pretty horrendous. Click through for full effect.

Tricks on fixed, for me gets pretty tiresome. But I just watched this vid:

Well funny, they photoshopped the colour of my shirt and shoes.

Went to see “Up in the Air” last night.

It was brilliant. I enjoyed the type and aerial shots especially.

The storyline was great too.

I finally got round to seeing (500) Days of Summer.

I really really liked it.

It made LA look RAD too.

500 Characters

ckck:

Dear Tumblr,

500 characters is not a whole lot. This post came in at 560 characters and it’s a five line paragraph and change. That is not a lengthy piece of text in any universe. I know Tumblr was never meant as a longform blogging platform but seriously, there’s no reason for a post that short to be reblogged into a link by default as it (unwittingly?) was. And there’s no reason for every Tumblr user that doesn’t want their blog to have a bunch of cut off paragraphs and links elsewhere to have to go an extra step every time they want to reblog a short post, it seems counterintuitive from a user experience perspective.

If you insist on a limit, make it something reasonable, like 2,500 characters or thereabout. Or better yet, make any limit an opt-in choice because I frankly have a hard time imagining this being a popular change.

Or maybe it’s just me?

I concur.

Trailer for Wellington actor/director Taika Waititi’s new feature Boy, inspired by the characters from his Oscar-nominated short Two Cars, One Night. His Q+A appearance (in three parts) following the film’s Sundance screening is delightful.

This looks like an absolute taste sensation: Game Lasagne - with rabbit, pheasant, partridge and chicken.

Nice film James.

Little League.

We decided to hand draw League Gothic for a side project over here at A Good Company. Working on turning it into a font, so we can use it online. We’ll see how the final layout will look.

Can’t wait for this.
