What was now many moons ago, at the beginning of the magical year of 2009, I used to post quicklinks. These were little snippets of design, of culture and of amusement that I found interesting and thought I would share with the greater world.
I have however, found something better. Much better. Why I haven’t written a post on it up until now I have no idea.
I have a Tumblr account.
Tumblr for those of you that don’t know it is a way of recording (or tumbling) things you find interesting, whether they be links, quotes, videos, photos… All to a blog style page that others can follow. As you would expect this in turn updates my Twitter and Facebook pages, but I have restricted it from posting to my blog so that I don’t clog the blog stream.
What I shall do instead though is create regular posts listing some of the best things I have tumbled. This is the new quicklinks – The Tumble Wheel.
Why Tumble Wheel? It is from Tumblr, it is constantly moving, but most of all it sounds like tumble weed. I am a sucker for stuff like that.
Rotation One
Zahada
> An amazing page of riddles and lateral thinking puzzles. Inspiration for another project methinks.
Please design a logo for me. With pie charts. For free.
> Just a brilliant read. Even more amusing if you have had a client like this.
Bullet time in LegoLand – Core77
> Well picked up by those wonderful people over at Core77 – a bullet time animated scene from the Matrix with Lego.
STP Bloodhound Game
> I have been waiting for BLOODHOUND related games to start appearing, in this is one of the best I have seen thus far. A real challenge… If you don’t cheat.
Printing your Toast
> Toasters are boring. Printers are boring. Combine the two? Genius.
