Metis Marker
• The fantastic Canadian Design Resource has an article today about the historical flag of Canada's Metis people. I've made several posts in the past about flags and the Metis flag fits well with the other standouts I've mentioned previously. According the description, the Metis flag *"epresents …

Designing for the Social Web
Joshua Porter, aka Bokardo, has just announced the publication of his book Designing for the Social Web. I finally met Josh in person at SXSW when we were speaking on a panel together about this very subject. He's obviously got fantastic insight into the subject of design for social sites and it …
Packaging Portfolios
Why not come back from a months-long writing hiatus with a somewhat off-the-cuff rant that's been building for just about as long as I've been away from posting on my weblog? • I've been going through dozens of applications for design positions over the past few months as we hire at Digg. I've …

Feel Free to Comment
We just rolled out a new comments system today at Digg. Redesigning one of the busiest and most vibrant comments areas on the web is pretty intimidating. Every day quite a few thousands of people participate in the comments and many more read the comments even if they're not participating. Despite …
Rapha + Paul Smith
I've always loved Rapha's swelligent wordmark. I was just going back to their site today to get a little inspiration for a little side project I'm working on and maybe to tempt myself to actually order something. Then I came across this absolutely gorgeous jersey Rapha has created with Paul Smith …
Bork Bork Bork!
What better way to break the silence around here than to point out that there exists a Firefox extension called Bork Bork Bork that will read a website to you using the Swedish Chef's voice. It's stuff like this that reaffirms that the interweb is a weird and truly wonderful place. • I happened …
