Colosseo Letterpress Poster
09th March 2010
Every now and then something comes along and renders you speechless and Cameron Moll’s Collosseo masterpiece did exactly that to me when I saw it. Truly remarkable work that my words can’t do justice. You can see the time, care and passion that has gone into this through the quality of the video that Cameron produced covering the process of it’s creation.

Why Tumblr is kicking Posterous’s ass
25th February 2010
An interesting article arguing the reasons as to why Tumblr is currently a more successful “tumblogging” service then Posterous in terms of users. I’ve been using Tumblr on two or three projects recently and it really is the quickest way to get cracking with a simple blog. Of course it has it’s limits, but these are limits that they have in place on purpose to keep in with the idea of being the easiest way to blog.
If I were to look for something with a little more flexibility and the potential to extend over time, I would without question go down the route of ExpressionEngine or Wordpress (if the budget doesn’t allow for an ExpressionEngine license) still. But for these quick fix, straight forward, simple-style blogs, you can’t go wrong with Tumblr.
