Jim Wolff, man
Delicious digital morsels served on a crisp bed of verbiage, sprinkled with freshly picked links and lashings of multimedia goodness. Occasionally.
Bio
Jim spends his days as a digital guy at The Leith Agency, spare minutes spinning Leith Records and nights howling at the moon. All views expressed are mostly none of his own.

CLEARly a unique UI
:: Sweet bit of user interface design from this Clear app, making other To Do apps (like even the wonderful Wunderlist - which keeps me at least 123% more productive) look a bit clunky and out-dated. Which is what all great design should do.
But whether it’s a new paradigm remains to be seen.

The Small Stakes
Lovely music poster design by Jason Munn in Oakland, California. This is one of many.

The C60 - A different kind of music player
The C60 concept was created to bring tangibility to the digital music experience. A card represents a song or a collection of songs. Placement of a card on the C60 table causes the music represented by the card to be played. Multiple cards placed on the table form a clockwise ordered playlist.
Another example (like the Tableau) of how modern gets more modern by going old school. Looking forward to when this comes out in Argos.
#siteoftheday: Sparked.com
Sparked: A clever, simple, well-designed site enabling people to do “micro-volunteering” jobs for charities. A bit like Mechanical Turk for good deeds.
Placebo Packaging
Nice bit of design and packaging for a placebo pill, by French designer Stephanie Beneteau. Though of course if you know it’s a placebo, it won’t work. So it’s a bit flawed.
Until the 50s in America, the placebo was legally allowed to be prescribed by doctors for a range of ailments, being more effective for some ailments than some of the drugs available at the time. They had to stop this though, as knowingly lying to your patients wasn’t seen as particularly hippocratic. Shame.
Tableau: Physical Email
:: This is pure wonder. A table which gives you images sent via Twitter, and which scans and sends handwritten notes.
A shining example of online / offline connecting, in a similar vein to the Cypbraphon.
A sure cultural trend for 2011.
