Flag Design
I find flag design to be very interesting, and I’m constantly surprised to see how much bad flag design there is. I credit/blame the 99% Invisible podcast for giving me this appreciation.

Video: Flatlanding in Foxboro
This weekend I went riding with some friends at some basketball courts in Foxboro, MA (which are seldom used for basketball) and shot some video. Not an amazing edit — we’re just riding for fun, not to blow minds — but it’s another sample of what can be done with an iPhone. Not to get all …
