Thought Bubble -> Cloud -> Puddle

Fern — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 02:54:01 +0000

This is thoroughly charming. My thought bubbles frequently do strange things, but never quite like this. But the next time they envelop my head, I’m making them melt into a puddle at my feet that I can jump and splash in!

Click through and watch the site respond to where your mouse is. Parallax!! I spent far too long moving my mouse back and forth on this site just watching the little creatures shifting around… #easilyamused

I am future man! [Little Big Details]

Fern — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:31:50 +0000

I’m a fan of the blog Little Big Details, a collection of the wonderful little considerate details in user interface design that make a big difference.

Here’s one humorous detail on a Yahoo sign up form…

Instead of an ugly DENIED! statement, you get a little jocular question… they might have to change this when time travel is invented. (Which, recent research has shown is impossible. Sadness.)

But Yahoo! has a sense of humor! Who knew?

Spork!!

Dear Fork,

I understand that we haven’t spoken since I ran away with the dish, but I thought you should know that you have a son. His name is spork. He has your hair.

Sincerely,
Spoon

Light BLUB! [Pieke Bergmans]

These light blubs (not bulbs!) bring joy to my life. I also enjoy the sound effects they inspire in my head. And yes, they do take the form of blubs and glubs.

You can’t blub and glub without having a corresponding collapse in your body (just like the light blubs).

According to artist Pieke Berman, a light blub “is a light bulb that has gone way out of line.” This is behavior “you wouldn’t expect from such well behaving and reliable little products. Nevertheless, they seem to be enjoying their new free existences.”
