Package May Contain Nuts

Chicks'll Dig These Tighty Whities

My sister came up with this amazing plan a few months ago, and for a few heady days we thought that we'd strike it rich. Originally, the concept was for a pair of undies that said "May Contain Nuts." I mean, that's pretty good and we laughed for a while, but then the brilliance occurred to us: "This Package May Contain Nuts."

Intoxicated with visions of get-rich-quick schemes, we failed to research if this idea was ours alone. Alas, unfortunately such hilarity could not be kept under wraps for long and it appears some lowly novelty retailers beat us to the punch. So, I share the idea with all. In need of a quick Christmas project to give a loved one? Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like home-made hilarious underwear.

Daniel Burka -

I just got a message from a friend with this site that offers underwear decorated with road signs. The "Windy Road" one is espcially disturbing.

Ryan Hillier -

This has to be the weirdest blog post I've read to date. Good job on the underwear pun, though.

I like how the reply forms light up when you click/Tab them! Never noticed that before.

Daniel Burka

My name is Daniel Burka. I'm a web designer living in San Francisco. Currently, I'm one of the founders of Milk Inc.. For several years I was the creative director at Digg and previous to Milk, I was the director of design at Tiny Speck. I grew up in PEI, Canada, where I was one of the founders of silverorange. Aside from obsessing about interface design and css selectors, I'm a frequently-falling rock climber, a lazy cyclist, and an often out-of-bounds disc golfer.

Summary

I'm a web designer living in San Francisco, California. I sometimes get the chance to present lectures and workshops at conferences around the world, where I speak about iterative design strategies, designing for large online communities, and more broadly about interface design for web applications. I've posted many of the slides from past presentations I've done on Slideshare.

Currently, I'm the director of design at a small gaming startup called Tiny Speck. Until October 2009, I was the creative director at Digg. I was also one of the co-founders of the social content-sharing site Pownce, which is now a part (heh heh) of Six Apart. Back in 1999, I helped found silverorange, a stellar web development and design firm based in Prince Edward Island, Canada. I continue to work with silverorange, but as an inactive partner.
