ersinhan ersin: tapeography - "turkish designer ersinhan ersin deconstructed old cassette tapes to create a series of images and typography he calls tapeography." http://www.designboom.com/weblog...
turkish designer ersinhan ersin deconstructed old cassette tapes to create a series of images and typography he calls tapeography. the handmade font was originally created for a school project about music, but ersin carried the concept to a variety of projects. the letters are made from the tape’s ribbon and pieces of the mechanics. by rearranging the elements, ersin is able to create letters from the alphabet and images such as a skull and cross bones. http://www.behance.net/ersinha...

It's about frickin' time, Guy! You're the guy who handed Steve Balmer a Macbook Air as a symbol of good design and yet you've been using Twitter all this time? Either start using friendfeed or switch to using Dells. You can't have it both ways. :)
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
You missed out on the earlier days of FriendFeed, but then it's never too late to start using it.

I don't think Guy understands he can write comments to his posts, instead of new posts to conversate

Welcome, we arent experts here but we manage to muddle through some how

Welcome here, maybe it takes people like you to bring the finesse of FriendFeed to the world! (can't let @scobleizer do all the work on his own, can you?)

I write software in my sleep during the busiest facets of my project; and they work in the morning

Me too, but the software I write in my sleep usually just does stupid stuff that we don't really need. :)

I don't know what's freakier, the fact that you write code in your sleep or the fact that you remember it when you wake up.

I dreamed last night that I had to organize a meet up, based on #hashtags, and everyone had the wrong tags. Everyone ranting at me woke me up at 5am.

i was dreaming about new features in feedly last night...but they aren't there this morning.

Trent: if you share with us some of those dreams, we will try to look into making them reality :-) Have a great sunday!

thanks Edwin! to be honest, they weren't very good anyway! you've already implemented my "exclude websites from using mini bar" idea, for which i'm hugely thankful...

seen this before.... years ago... made me laugh then and still does..gotta admit it almost rings true!

This is definitely true for me. I sometimes think about programs I'm working on in my sleep too.

The video will be embargoed until Monday morning but Paul Buchheit (left) and Bret Taylor just told me that they will show us a new friendfeed design but then said we can't talk about it until Monday morning. It will be on the beta site then, not the real site. I will see if there are other details we can reveal they will come over next hour.
- Robert Scoble
They're going to add profiles and pokes, right?
- Yuval Atzmon
If they do a total redesign, I will be pissed.
- TheHenry
scoble, i'm here at friendfeed hq, too, looking across the room at you. i assumed they meant "don't talk about it until monday" but maybe not i guess.
- Eric Eldon
They can't embargo from us. Access for loyal Friendfeeders!
- Eric - Too Hot
I know this embargoing process is the way of the world but how is this much different than political reporters kowtowing to politicians in order to maintain "access"? Doesn't this process essentially sully the impartiality and integrity of tech reporters?
- Brian Sullivan
Do we have a time on Monday, cause, you know, I don't try and hit beta.friendfeed.com over and over again.... Not that I've tried already *whistles*
- Johnny
Brian, this isn't politics, it's a commercial venture. There is a difference between withholding and unveiling.
- Johnny
@Brian: No. It lets FriendFeed tell their story the same way to many people at once. It lets them get their product right before issuing it and running the risk of uncompleted updates getting reviewed.
- Louis Gray
Yes - I understand why FF and other companies want this ( the same reason in politics from what I can tell -- they want to control the message). My question still stands though: "Doesn't this process essentially sully the impartiality and integrity of tech reporters?"
- Brian Sullivan
@Brian, again, no. Agreeing to an embargo doesn't indicate bias.
- Louis Gray
Brian: private ventures are under no public obligation; their only obligation is to their investors. If other people want to know and they're willing to play by their rules, there's not much you can do. One person trying to make the "this is bullshit" argument about embargoes just means one less person who gets to know.
- Mark Trapp
Brian, I see what you are saying, but if that was the case, then the same must be applied to movie reviewers who get advanced screenings. I think if you are the type of journalist who writes good reviews on crap things just to maintain access, then you are not a journalist, you work in entertainment. It's the ones that get the access, call crap when they see it yet still get invited back that you need to listen to.
- Johnny
Please please please let there be blink and marquee tags...
- Bill Sodeman
It just gives you time to brief more than one person -- if the first person blabbed the whole story, you'd have a whole bunch of pissed off journos with nothing to write about except some other guy's coverage.

Mark, Louis -- isn't this the same argument used by the reporters that had access to Wall Street bankers before the current financial melt down?
- Brian Sullivan
Brian, there's a difference between public interest and wanting to know what a private company is doing. Financial institutions are publicly-owned and traded companies, and are regulated by the Government because there is a real public interest in what they do. Knowing what FriendFeed, a privately-owned company, is doing 3 days before they announce it is hardly a justifiable public interest.
- Mark Trapp
rrrrr, i hate teases like that. just tell me when i can see it, no time to speculate. but Milan? just too sweet for words.
- Karoli
Mark - so essentially what you are saying if the company was a public company (Google or Microsoft for instance) obeying such an embargo could not be justified by a tech reporter?
- Brian Sullivan
the concept of a Beta version hosted on an other website is really interesting, with such process , users will have to compare and the show their preference, change aren't imposed, and tracking is made easy. FaceBook may learn something in such process.
- abdellah
Facebook did have the option to try out the new design, on the release before this latest one. In the end they just pushed it as standard to everyone though.
- Simon Wicks
seriously excited for the FF team, how cool! Can't wait... runs to check the http://beta.friendfeed.com site for a sneak peak? please! :)

Very funny. But hit a little close to home in spots, which is why it is funny.

Thanks for sharing. This is absolutely hilarious! I need to tweet about it :)

LOL omg that was funny, however it was way over 140 characters long.

I recently spoke with a school board about modernizing their curricula and using new online tools to network with community and disseminate. All they've heard about it is the stereotypical inane tweet "I'm getting in the shower now". They don't quite "get it". I'm not evangelizing Twitter per say (go Yammer!), but I am continually finding myself trying to help people "get it" so they can make organizational decisions. I worry they'll watch this video and fortify their underestimation of socialmedia.

"So we mock, not the way we mocked Bush out of fear of what he would and did do, but out of that most natural of reasons: Conservatives and republicans, right now in 2009 are the most mockable of public figures. We’ve just been through the first election in what could turn out to be a fundamental shift in voting attitudes in America. Conservatives, outside of the mainstream media who pretends as if they’re still at the 60%+ strength of 2003-4, are on the outs looking in, tilting at a president with a 60-70% approval rating. And in light of that scenario, they have appointed a gaggle of circus clowns as their standard-bearers."

Don't celebrate or gloat just yet: a single major terrorist event (think nuclear, even) could put the neoconservatives back in the saddle again, with much more power than they enjoyed under Bush 43. This game isn't over yet -- not even close. You don't understand how this cult thinks and operates, and just how determined it is to reach the goalpost.
