The MTLB iPhone application was made with iPhone Apper. It is really just a convenient single-click way to get to the website. The website also features a really professionally done iPhone icon PSD.

Justin Case you were thinking of adding it to your iPhone, you’ll need to do a few things first. Install AppTapp the iPhone installer application. Here is the MacWorld step-by-step how-to. Open Installer on your iPhone – install the community sources, then install BSD Subsystem (which you cannot uninstall) and OpenSSH. Now you are ready to SFTP into your iPhone using WiFi.

NOTCOT.org is a nice blog about product reviews from a design perspective. It is where I get (steal) all my ideas for posting on this blog.

Ambigram?

Posted by nelsdrums on September 25th, 2007

If you just can’t decide on permanent ink for your lower back, maybe an Ambigram from WowTattoo can help. Apparently an Ambigram is a word that reads both right-side-up, and upside-down. Like “MOM” is “WOW” when you flip it over.

Blatte’s backgrounds at exoteric.roach.org is an excellent source of abstract fractal desktop images made with Apophysys, Ultra Fractal and KPT FraxFlame. He even has tutorials, settings, and images rendered for dual monitors. Blatte gives his images freely for non-commercial use. I used one of Blatte’s backgrounds for the header of this blog.

A sandwich shop called Erbert & Gerbert’s has managed to break through the clutter by creating their own stop-motion ad—using 150 t-shirts. The end result isn’t that exciting. But kudos to them for coming up with an interesting idea.

Wilkinson Sword has really gone all out with this campaign. As far as I can tell, it’s not American, yet the trailer and part of the site are in English. In any case, check it out. Not only is it amusing, it’s a pretty cool site. Fight For Kisses. I believe you can even download some kind of game. Wish I could understand the site more. Enjoy.
