Sweet Tea
"I'd rather use a service that has a strong, single-minded vision, even if some of the decisions aren't exactly how I'd want them, than a washed-out, milquetoast service created by committee, designed to meet market demand, that tries to make everybody happy." -

Class-responsibility-collaboration card - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Using a small card keeps the complexity of the design at a minimum. It focuses the designer on the essentials of the class and prevents her/him from getting into its details and inner workings at a time when such detail is probably counter-productive. It also forces the designer to refrain from giving the class too many responsibilities. -

Kind of Screwed - Waxy.org
"Last year, I was threatened with a lawsuit over the pixel art album cover for Kind of Bloop. Despite my firm belief that I was legally in the right, I settled out of court to cut my losses. This ordeal was very nerve-wracking for me and my family, and I've had trouble writing about it publicly until now." -

New Last.fm track page
David Singleton posted a photo:
A good example of the track page changes we made recently, I worked pretty heavily on this. Main changes;
* External play links (eg, play this on hypem)
* Preview track (inline 30s preview playback with SM2)
* Pretty scrobbles/listeners stats
* Listeners over time graph
* My interaction with this track (number of plays, love)
* Who's listening now and with what client -

David Singleton posted a photo:
Last.fm web-radio shows you a bear if you've been idle for a long time, to check you're still listening.

Tumblr error message
David Singleton posted a photo:
Considering how slick the rest of the Tumblr interface is this error feedback is awful.
Not only that, but you only get told what the limitations for the field are once once you submit. You don't get an example or expectation set.
Oh, and it reloads the whole page. -
