Real-world version of an interface many of us have spent way too long looking at. Pretty impressive, I must say.

56 Flavours of Geek

The 56 Geeks Project is an impressive collection of the archetypal geeks of our time, illustrated by Scott Johnson. I felt this was worth posting since the Relish team is so well represented. It’s like he consulted us when he conceived it. I think we’ve got at least 30 of these geeks covered and there’s only 8 of us. At the risk of offending my geek brethren in the office I’ll resist calling anybody out (ahem) but I can safely say that I am at least 5 of these geeks. Is that something I should be proud of? I think so.

It looks like Scott was doing custom geek requests (imagine… your own face — on a cartoon geek’s body!) but not anymore. Prints are available for those of you with the wall space.

We heart it

If you’re growing old waiting for FFFFOUND to open up their nifty image bookmarking service to the general public there’s still hope. No, I didn’t hack into FFFFOUND but I did find a pretty rock solid alternative at We heart it. Like FFFFOUND, We heart it lets you bookmark images, tag them, comment, see who else tagged them and search the entire pool by tag. It’s still early on so the features are a bit limited but it’s certainly worth poking around and seeing what’s there. For the designers in the crowd it’s a helluva of a resource for really inspiring images. Photography, illustration, art… the real cream of the crop.

If you do sign up for an account be sure to install the bookmarklet – makes bookmarking images a real snap!
