Notes"Now I, uh, like Facebook fine, for the same reasons you do (if you do), and I generally ignore its well-branded but otherwise abortive gestures toward key features that have made it famous without actually doing a damned thing—“like” being the people’s Exhibit A. But as a designer, it bothers me, not only because badly designed things bother designers, but because badly designed things in a highly successful product spur a lust for imitation. I don’t want our clients to think “like” works. I don’t want them desiring similarly broken functionality on sites we design for them. I don’t want them thinking users don’t need tools that work, simply because millions of users don’t complain about broken tools on Facebook. Tools like like and its sad little pop-up.
Me no like.

Web Designer Notebook » Are CSS Frameworks Evil?
I’ve mentioned above that I believed CSS frameworks to be ‘the easy solution’. I still think that’s true, but I don’t see it as a bad thing: why spend hours creating perfectly hand-crafted CSS layouts when there are excellent foundations that we can build upon already out there? Life’s not just about coding (really) and there are better things that I can be doing with my time than creating problems for which there are solutions already.

I love these posters!
Tomorrow night in Detroit, the Alamo Drafthouse Rolling Roadshow presents Robocop.
I’m planning to be there, even though I’ve yet to find anyone to accompany me. This is going to be a blast. And this poster is pretty awesome.

Notes iPhone 4 GUI in Photoshop
Geoff Teehan over at Teehan+Lax has followed up their iPhone GUI PSD with a new one specifically for the Retina display found in the new iPhone 4. This was no doubt a time consuming process, so this time you can donate if you find the PSD beneficial. Don’t be shy now.
