Granted, I don’t own a bike, but if I did and we were fortunate enough to get snow, I would without hesitation install this on my bike.

Clever infographic that depicts movie sales (2010) over time. I really appreciate the interactiveness of the graph.
I’m a huge baseball fan and more so an Astros fan. Living in the DC area makes it difficult to make it to their games. So when the Expos were sold to Washington and changed to the Nationals I was thrilled. We were getting a local National League team and with that the Astros would now have an annual three or four games series near my home. Ive gone to at least one Astros game here in Washington since the Expos moved. I would go regardless of their performance and I think many Astros fan’s would do the same regardless of the economies condition. The infographic below illustrates how fans in different markets change their support for a team with the changing economy. I think it really illustrates how some teams are really under appreciated, almost to the point of being insulting that a city would even have a team. See Atlanta and Tampa Bay.
Is it to soon to assume posting your redesign process is a trend in the web design/development community? Well 37signals has posted an overview, Behind the scenes: 37signals.com Redesign, of their redesign process. They cover the different design iterations they went through, as well as the reasons they committed certain aspects to the final design or removed them as they moved along in their process. For their final design, they selected a single page layout that is, of course, very effective and visually appealing I really like the mouse hover effect for their four products at the top of the page.

I really have overlooked Frank Kozik’s work, specifically his Potamus. These new porcelain Potamus have a great look to them. Kozik teamed up with K. Olin Tribu to create this limited run of 250. I think the piece works so well because of the idea of something to fragile as porcelain being merged with something so powerful and large as a hippo. I would love to feel the weight of this piece and how the porcelain adds to the mass of this classic Kozik work. See more views of this piece after the jump.
Read MoreJon Hick’s recently posted his design process for creating the new WordPress theme, ShelfTheme. I don’t care much for the actual theme but he provides really great explanations for why he made certain decisions and how he dealt with the various problems that came up in the process. I also really like the font that was selected for the new theme.
Read MoreSome designs really speak to me. This is one of those. Hopefully this design gets printed. I think the argument could be made that each design could be made into an individual card or print. I really like the Gonzo the Great design.
