It’s the middle of the night and I can’t sleep as is so frequently the case at the moment. Panda Bear is there to calm me and bliss me out. Thank you Panda Bear…

Aaron Straup Cope showed em to me. They look sacrilicious.
-
It is not, however, better than her amazing recipe for Gammon. I bought a large ham the other day and cooked it on Christmas Eve for the Hammonds and Cal and it was great. Better cold. Lasts forever!
-
I can recommend this wholeheartedly. After your meal you’re left with something that tastes and keeps enormously better than the packets of ham you buy in supermarkets to be used in sandwiches, pies etc.
-
And a really interesting tone of voice and more investigative stance for the piece as well than we normally see on the BBC’s website. Really good. Classy. Worth supporting.
-
I’ve obviously played with Bravo and I think Arrington is missing something here. The service is, above all, characterful and fun. It’s still developing but if it keeps that character as it goes I think it could easily find an audience.
-
Entertaining, insightful and gripping article on the ‘success’ of Mao’s regime and how it correlates to large company management practice. Doesn’t maybe sound sexy, but I really enjoyed it.
-
“There Will Be Blood is, in fact, not a historical saga; rather, it’s an absurdist, blackly comic horror film with a very idiosyncratic satanic figure at its core.” Sounds awesome!
-
Fascinated by how he could describe the following of a logical argument and a willingness to be proven incorrect a form of ‘fundamentalism’. I suspect he’s chosen his examples pretty carefully to illustrate a point too.
-
Pretty fascinating stuff. This is a man who had his authoritarian streak, clearly – and evidently believed in a faith I find near absurd. Also a man who protected a woman’s right to choose and made gay people more equal than ever…
-
Also to be celebrated are Ernie Hsiung (of LittleYellowDifferent), Nikkil Bob and Kevin Cheng of OKCancel who also worked on the project. Small, agile, fun projects for the win!
-
I do love these sites, even as I know they’re sort of pointless. Like proper art these. Explorations of form without the need for any utility other than to delight.
-
Wonder what the software is like. Useful and good for Fire Eagle. Was interested in what was going to happen since the iPhone deformed the direction of smart phones (in a cool direction) in the US.
-
As usual. Frankly, the man’s a god and his tiny animations and cartoons are genius. Tiny little hands. Very cute.
-
It’s difficult to explain and occasionally hard to believe. Very much worth having an explore. Some of it is beautiful.
-
He grows all these freaky root and branch like growths all over his body to the extent that he can no longer use his hands. Totally disturbing.
-
Perhaps this is of niche interest, but I’ve always wanted to work with Chad again after our time in Techdev together, and the Hack Day London we organised with that nice chap from the BBC. All that stuff. Yay.
-
Disturbing OAuth cartoon that is keeping me awake. Just in case you’re unsure why I care, it’s because OAuth is useful and is right in the middle of the micro-thin FireEagle front-end…
-
I’m going to have to get myself some of these when they become available at the end of the year.
-
There are other ones like it at the moment, but so far this is the one I like most.
-
Fascinating journey through some of the most interesting display type that’s cutting edge at the moment. Gorgeous stuff. Somehow reminds me of all the Penguin covers from the 1960s I’m seeing on Ffffound.
-
In late 1998 they say there were only 23 blogs in the world. By the time I started plasticbag.org in late 1999 there were probably somewhere in the high hundreds. Things have changed a lot since then.
-
It’s really beautiful. I’ve spent at least an hour roaming around it over the last few days.
-
“God you’re gorgeous! Yes, but my heart is like a stone….”
-
Ah, if only. The true reason is much more prosaic. Still it made me laugh. Just to let people know, Fire Eagle will actually have a much more normal name when we launch.
-
I really need to get up the slides for it. I think the thing is that I spend so much time on my talks that I can’t bear to just use them once. But if the slides are out in public already, people don’t enjoy them so much. Difficult.
-
Really nice implementation. Mr Hammond worked on that particular project I believe. Well done to him and everyone else involved. Elegance!
-
Lots of lovely people I respect and love worked on it, and it’s increasingly taking the seed crystal of exposing collisions between people and extrapolating it in all kinds of fascinating directions.
