Thinking for a living

The latest redesign of the design content site Thinking for a Living is turning web paradigms onto their side. With mobile standards in mind, an intuitive and simplified navigation, alongside a very refined approach to web typography, I have a feeling that this site could really change how we design for the web. Built with XHTML/CSS and jQuery, the site is delivered through WordPress but feels nothing like it…

It’s a site I’ve often visited for their quality content and design coverage, which is generally more in-depth and better written than most design “blogs” out there (yours truly included). Now it’s even easier on the eyes and provides a really fluid reading experience. Way to go guys. Hopefully this thoughtful, holistic, and detail-oriented approach to design serving content catches on.

Hello, hello!

We’re very pleased to announce that Four Minutes to Midnight will be part of next weekend’s Nuit Blanche festivities in Montréal. As part of a jam packed night/morning curated by Yan Basque at le Cagibi, I’ll be co-performing issue ten’s fugue with Hillary Rexe (more on this sassy/classy lady and her recent contributions to 2356 later) backed by John Stuart and Vincent Tinguely (aka Fingerdog) on guitarzzz, with inky projections by Hoda Adra.

We’ll be performing at 1:45 AM with an encore performance at 3:35 AM. But the whole night/morning promises to be entertaining and enlightening, with a slew of local and international talent, so please come by, grab a drink or two, and share with us a while.
