A pair of Docs, DMs, Doc Martens…. immortalised in song by Alexei Sayle, worn with pride by workers, skinheads and Brighton queers, the iconic Doctor Martens have launched a new design competition with the winner going into a limited production run. So many options I just can’t decide what to enter….
Just discovered the awesome WPhone, a plug-in for WordPress which formats your admin nicely on iPhone/iPod Touch. Haven’t given it the full run through yet but seems to have solved a few Ajax hassles I had. Given the sudden rise to dominance of the iPhone as a mobile browser (number 1 in US, number 2 in UK) it’s an excellent complement to ContentRobot’s iWPhone plug-in, which displays the public side of my WordPress blog neatly in an iPhone stylee.
With recomendation and shared bookmarks like stumbleupon and ffffound! and listings sites from the dreamer to phirebrush all vying to fulfill our every spare desire for inspiring design and interaction, it’s easy to forget the gems that turn up when you step outside and just look in the local charity shop. This guy found box of 35mm slides of old advertising posters from the fifties and sixties and took the time to scan and share them on flickr. Glorious.
FFFFOUND! is like having a mate who sends you amazing, interesting & inspiring images. Hundreds of them. Every day. And, if you’re an aesthetic ephemera junky like me, you probably can’t get enough of it either.
Basically it’s an image-bookmarking service that allows users to post and share their found images and it dynamically recommends others to tickle your fancy. The “everyone” feed is a cornucopia of eye-candy from FFFFOUND! and enough to trigger a good hour or so wasted a day.
Currently invite only, but you can still get the public feed.
