  • Two Bill Hicks quoting/linking tweets in the last cou­ple of hours. One from @karj, one from @austin­kleon. Pick up the gun. #
  • The futur­is­tic races and civil­i­sa­tions imag­ined by video games still haven’t har­nessed the power of kern­ing. #
  • Per­haps, but OLPC as an argu­ment? RT @newsy­combi­na­tor: Nicholas Negro­ponte: The Phys­i­cal Book Is Dead In 5 Years http://tcrn.ch/9dU98T #
  • Wow. The guy who fell through the roof of a flat in Stoke New­ing­ton on Church St? Head first into a toi­let bowl. He’s ok. Bit flushed. #
  • Some real fine posters here by Telegramme Stu­dio – http://myze.ro/evlzg #
  • Am I miss­ing an option some­where to pre­vent the Magic Mouse from track­ing scrolling while the but­ton is held down? #
  • Expec­ta­tions down. Hap­pi­ness up. Of course! Thanks Coke. #
  • I now see why I should expect noth­ing of any­thing I pay for. Eg – Coop online bank­ing; why think it’d be online or enable bank­ing? #
  • Coca Cola. No one could be rea­son­ably mis­lead that they care about you, the planet or any­thing but cold, hard $$ http://myze.ro/e4ux > @iA #
  • ‘Digg Patri­ots’ – even the name nauseates.To think these peo­ple apply the word ‘free­dom’ to their objec­tives http://myze.ro/4f #
  • The age of enti­tle­ment – am I really being fol­lowed by @not­inCR “for design­ers who believe their work should be noticed”? cc @Cre­ativeRe­view #
  • The best idea I have EVA seen in my life! Is 36 too old? http://myze.ro/fhg4w > @riaface @saja­rina @chris_coltrane #
  • Naive, bloody-minded or trans­par­ent to a fault, I don’t know. But, seri­ously? http://www.kuntzinsurancegroup.com > @DBAadam @john­lyle #
  • Unusual. An intel­li­gent arti­cle about Twit­ter fea­tur­ing @neil­him­self and @war­rior­grrl http://myze.ro/bx #
  • Halo 2600. Same chal­leng­ing enemy AI – http://myze.ro/3ez1 #
  • The Zero­fee cat, Sable, has devel­oped a greet­ing ‘dance’. Bunches up body, shiv­ers, wags tail & lifts back legs up and down. Is this com­mon? #
  • Lon­don. Look out the win­dow for an exclu­sive, sneak pre­view of win­ter! #
  • Excel­lent. Why didn’t I check ear­lier? Great Yarmouth is on Twit­ter > @great­yarmouth #
  • Enquired about O2 teth­er­ing bolt-on. £10 a month and, once acti­vated, no more free non-wifi data – must keep pay­ing. That’s cus­tomer care. #
  • Does Angelina have some­thing Grotesk on her bot­tom? http://myze.ro/9mb Per­haps she’ll con­sider Aktiv next. #typog­ra­phy #
  • Design­ers. Be grate­ful. Belief that our work can be done by any­one is rel­a­tively new. Our writ­ing col­leagues have suf­fered far longer. #
  • I (we?) increas­ingly refer to phones with com­put­ing ter­mi­nol­ogy. I ‘shut it down’, not ‘turn it off’. #
  • Odd. Some lim­ited, highly spe­cific and con­sis­tent username/avatar mix­ups with @echo­fon pro today… #
  • It’s not Blair’s book that needs flog­ging… http://bit.ly/9NIObY via @suzannemoore197 #
  • Oh, that’s price­less. Try a Google search for ‘stolen bikes gumtree’ and you get a spon­sored link! http://twitpic.com/2b72uy #
  • .@trine­falbe @tc2dk they took the words right out of our mouths! http://tcrn.ch/9pHtf8 (nice chew­ing the fat with you both, btw) #
  • I’ll get back to bitch­ing about cor­po­ra­tions a bit later. #
  • On the Android vs. iPhone note, I care less (if at all) about the brand/vendor ‘story’, than I do about the disin­gen­u­ous drone of the blogs #
  • Oh, look. :) RT @mash­able: Android Smart­phones Out­sell iPhone in First Half of 2010 – http://mash.to/2jVmZ #
  • Why is ‘Android sales over­take iPhone’ even news? There’s numer­ous phones run­ning Android. Why com­pare OS with hard­ware? #
  • Iraq US com­bat ops end in 30 days. Trans­la­tion: 50k of 65k troops occupy until end 2011 to ‘pro­tect US inter­ests’ – http://myze.ro/dy0jm #
  • So, the N16 mobile car­rier Q&A seems to point to either O2 or Voda­phone if you want an iPhone, Vir­gin if you don’t. Thanks all! #
  • Thank you @gabrielgm @StokeyL­it­Fest – options seem lim­ited… #
  • .@north­six­teen What’s the best mobile net­work for N16? And, if I’m being greedy, the best for N16 / cen­tral Lon­don over­all? #
  • They caught the “News Raider”. His motives? Image, weight, vis­i­bil­ity. Good (oddly shy) man. http://myze.ro/1zj > @zerofee_ela #
  • Chelsea Clinton’s wed­ding the family’s state­ments – who cares? Really? #
  • When we say we’ll deliver work at a spe­cific time, we do. When some clients say they will pay at a spe­cific time, they do not. It’s the law. #
  • #ety­mo­log­i­cal­im­ages No. 1 of a series of x: ‘Cat­walk’ http://twitpic.com/2aqgnz #
  • Japan x zom­bies x head shots x Blues Explo­sion (ish) = Wild Zero http://myze.ro/a6ie > @CigaretteBurns_ #

Zerofee. Good Thinking.

Zero­fee is an eth­i­cal design agency, and this is our blog. We cre­ate iden­tity and design for print and dig­i­tal media, but not for irre­spon­si­ble brands or com­pa­nies. Why Zero­fee? Along­side com­mer­cial work, we con­stantly donate design to financially–challenged char­i­ties and good causes.
