I'm just saying. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RelativelyAverage/~3/mYloWiBZcIg/ http://relativelyaverage.com/2009/07/iphone-painting-of-the-day-2/ One of the personal projects I've wanted to do for a while is a typography-based poster. Playing around with the idea that communication is a two-way street (communicator and recipient), it seemed like it would be a good candidate for a typographic attempt. Just in case the words aren't legible at ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RelativelyAverage/~3/dpfsewXtc-E/ http://relativelyaverage.com/2009/07/type-as-design/ Hanging out at Starbucks, trying to catch the interesting colors on the sale cabinet. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RelativelyAverage/~3/MMSNDCu-oN0/ http://relativelyaverage.com/2009/07/coffee-shop-shelves/ I may have to start a new feature on these iPhone paintings. I'm ridiculously impressed with the quality and the user experience of the new "Brushes" application. It's perfect for those times you're in a boring meeting and would much rather be finger painting. Today's project: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RelativelyAverage/~3/vMhXbzhlGDU/ http://relativelyaverage.com/2009/07/iphone-painting-of-the-day/ Over the weekend I finally got off the fence as far as the decision to get an iPhone is concerned.

I've had this for two days now, and while I'm obviously still getting to know the technology, ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RelativelyAverage/~3/7fGrjlHmfj8/ http://relativelyaverage.com/2009/07/so-i-drank-the-kool-aid/ Spend some time in a place as beautiful as Yosemite, it really puts a more-dull-than-usual light on cubicle life.

It had been several years since we'd been, and wanted to try out some of the new attractions: the revamped submarine ride converted to the Finding Nemo theme, the ... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RelativelyAverage/~3/ENnxr3ftJgY/ http://relativelyaverage.com/2009/06/whered-you-go-mr-disney/ In a simple and creative post, Mike Geipert tried spelling out words using his Mac OSX dock icons. Since today's lunch hour was un-designated, I tried one of my own: Thanks to Erik for the link. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RelativelyAverage/~3/SmKCBM60i4Y/ http://relativelyaverage.com/2009/06/osx-dock-scrabble/ Or, more accurately, fun at his expense.
