Tumblr Kit →
I was recently looking for a solution for an upcoming project which required me to load content by post type from Tumblr’s API. The one or two options I found produced hard-coded markup for each post, and didn’t make it easy to customise their output.

Offscreen magazine, a Kickstarter project from Melbournites Kai Brach and Jess Murray, is a little over $5,000 short of a modest goal with 3 days left to run on its campaign.

We want to tell the less...

Retiring Jobs’ Number →
Rob Cottingham (via Cameron Moll): The debate will rage for a long time over what piece of technology best encapsulates Steve Jobs’ influence on our world: The iPhone? iPod? iMac? iPad? OS X and Aqua? But I’m going to argue for something a lot more low-tech: the turtleneck. That, to me, captures the excitement Jobs both conveyed and sparked in others over his vision.
