Due to the nature of my half-aborted redesign, I'm thinking about reworking eightface.com with html5 to get some practice in.

Playboy type
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eightface/~3/ru_y2CjNbO4/
Ministry of Type takes a look at the typography and layouts of Playboy, particularly those from the 50s and 60s. The magazine has put about fifty years of archives online, although the interface is a bit kludgey.

World changing science
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eightface/~3/Kew6TY5ofVk/
Trailblazing is an interactive science exhibit from the Royal Society. It showcases sixty articles from the last 350 years, allowing you to place them in their historical context and read the papers in entirety. My productivity will be going out the window this afternoon, enjoy.

Notes from a midlist author
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eightface/~3/7abWr6ohnj8/
The confessions of a semi-successful author is a few years old, but I can’t imagine the conditions have become much better. If you don’t want to hear about the noir underside of publishing — if you’re a writer longing for a literary career, or a reader who’s happier not knowing that producing and marketing a book these days involves about as much moral purity as producing and marketing a pair of Nikes — I suggest you stop reading now.

Me and my monkey
http://www.flickr.com/photos/davekellam/4132311583/
My shot from Whiskerino Day #24 (there are some awesome photos today). The theme was supposed to be forced perspective, couldn't get what I wanted, so shot this instead. Just me and my monkey, we have nothing to hide.

Typographic purists
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eightface/~3/HLNkZo_kwTU/
Mistakes in typography grate the purists from the NYT. “I think sometimes that being overly type-sensitive is like an allergy,” said Michael Bierut, a partner in the Pentagram design group in New York. “My font nerdiness makes me have bad reactions to things that spoil otherwise pleasant moments.” I’m not at the anaphylactic stage of typographic allergy yet — more the sniffly, dry and itchy eyes sort of thing.
