JJ and I are proud to announce our first official desktop wallpaper. I jokingly made this for JJ yesterday and we figured why not just offer it up. It’s inspired by a ridiculous term we’ve been joking about for months…
Dynamism: Keep web sites “fresh” by periodically adding new material and features, and by updating information [...]
I try to avoid writing blog posts that are basically a hyperlink with a piece of text saying “go look at this now.” But every once and a while I find something on the web which is a perfect union of techonlogy, culture, and design. This is one of those times.
