New letterpress cards! Hand-pressed for us by Public Letterpress in Denver.
that’s one sexy business card.
I had remarked a couple of months ago that Tumblr seemed to be focusing only on new features and completely ignoring longstanding bugs. I never posted this but I sort of thought the reason why they were doing this was so they could sell a larger base of users to a prospective buyer. I wonder if I was right.
It was good knowing you guys.

Kickstarter: Constellation Quilt
Look at this gorgeous thing Haptic Lab made! There are only 10 left (as of this writing), so hurry if you want to get your own.
EDIT: Ooops, they’ve been featured by Kickstarter so if you didn’t get a quilt yet, you’re out of luck, but there are some other great contribution levels too.
So on this very day [May 11], ten years ago, we began principal photography on ‘Shaun Of The Dead’ in London. To celebrate this we’ve decided to take you through every single day of production over the next month or two. Team Big Talk have gone through personal photos, stills, rushes and continuity photos to give you an unique day by day account of our shoot.
What a marvelous idea.

Hey you guys I’ve had the worst couple of days (super week so far) but I just want to point out that there are so many awesome things you all are doing that I wish to christ I had the energy to talk up and I swear if I could get just one little tiny little second to get some rest please god just one good night I swear I’ll do whatever just let me sleep.

The humanoid form of Robonaut is a little spooky onboard, at times.
With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.
Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.
I’m not being hyperbolic in any way whatsoever when I say this might be the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.

I wore a skirt today, something I rarely/never do, and so catastrophic and absurd was my inability to grasp the physics of skirt-wearing that the situation blew right past the usual self-directed mental cruelty at my failure to do the most basic human things and just made me laugh. So that was good.
