Legacy of Letters from Luca Barcellona on Vimeo.

I love letters. I love lettering. Watching the making of artful letters is so much fun.

On a Friday afternoon in February, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals spent time outside of San Diego recording stripped down versions of songs from their new album. “Paris” is the second in a series of them.

Post it notes continue to work their way into different parts of our lives. Their not so stickiness encourages us to use them in all kinds of unexpected ways. Their uniformity is another excellent attribute. Even the straight-lined challenged can line post-its up in a grid. Now that we aren’t confined to the Post-it yellow the possibilities are multiplied — by the number of new colors added.

So, what have you done with Post-it notes lately?

This is just a fabulous moment.

Patti plays a tune on her book tour. Always good to see the famous in small moments like this. Enjoy.

Sorry I had to delete this vid. It had a commercial up front I didn’t mind that as much as it would autoplay.
Screw that.

If you want to watch it head over to youtube.

So thrilled he’s recording music again. Rock your soul.

Gravity makes rhythm. Makes me want to go out and draw.

Here’s a bit of advertising for the new Alice book for the iPad. It’s pretty darn cool. A whole layer of activity on top of the text. It’s heading in the right direction.

Still more meaningful interaction would be so much better. Interaction that really illuminates to content not just bells and whistles. I have high expectations in this new space. We need someone like Cyan who originally created Myst to step up and shift the expectations in this reading environment.

If Alice in Wonderland was the text and an interactive experience like Myst imagine the experience!

You can download Myst for your iPhone and you can now play the next level of Myst online here.

This vid is bouncing around on tumblr. It’s a look at how interaction can be so intuitive, and feel so real that other beings interact and experience something very real. Watching this “smart cat” play with an iPad just like it would with a string or a keyboard tells us how far our interfaces have come. How rich a good touch interface can be is very exciting.

Enjoy.

What’s love got to do with it. The greatest legs, Tina Turner.
