  • Wow. a @Desig­nOb­server piece about East Anglia (Norfolk/Suffolk/Cambridgeshire UK) http://bit.ly/cG8fKP #
  • Liq­uid graphite pen­cil. Erasable for 3 days, per­ma­nent there­after. “Any suf­fi­ciently advanced tech…” http://myze.ro/5nm8 > @design­taxi #
  • I’d like to sug­gest a cou­ple of inter­est­ing projects to fol­low, rather than peo­ple – @Mr_Tweets and @26Treasures #
  • H00t inves­ti­gates the space where design writ­ing & humour might con­verge. http://www.h00t.co.uk – Any non-design folk care to try? #
  • HTML5 is resis­tant to NDM-1 #html5keyfacts #
  • I’ve seen a few things shot in N16’s Abney Park Ceme­tery, but not as styl­ishly as this @the­brute­cho­rus video – http://myze.ro/d8 #
  • .@zeld­man, take note. Keep it pithy for the masses. Clever use of rogue “, HTML5 style – http://twitpic.com/2e9tu3 > @aegirthor @lloydi #
  • Excel­lent meteor con­di­tions in Stoke New­ing­ton. Seen 3 in about 20mins, so a bit slow right now. #
  • Times pay­wall going well. Grasp­ing for cus­tom with leaflets in the bot­tom of Ocado bags. “An excit­ing new online expe­ri­ence”, appar­ently. #
  • Fan­tas­tic. Track the influ­ence of oil, gas and coal money on US Con­gress. We need a UK ver­sion. http://myze.ro/7u > @john­thackara #
  • “Don’t pour wine back­wards for an Argen­tin­ian”? @akosma? Any ideas what this means? http://myze.ro/hcrl #
  • A big thank you to to @akosma for his help on the SVG work for the http://www.dezeenwatchstore.com iden­tity! #
  • .@zerofee_ela would love it if some non-design folk would help in this test of humor­ous design writ­ing – http://www.h00t.co.uk – Please RT! #
  • Ooooo. That is < 1kb of javascript beauty. http://myze.ro/pt via @mis­terkeg #
  • What have we done to deserve a glut of calls and emails from com­pa­nies based in India offer­ing copy­writ­ing and SEO? #
  • Gags. “We worked long into the after­noon”. How very PR. Naomi Camp­bell, blood dia­mond PR strat­egy http://bit.ly/cQjnoe > @AJW­Shaugh­nessy #
  • A lo-res, real-world arcade racer fea­tur­ing an arcade cab­i­net, rc car and card­board track. Wipe­out it ain’t. http://myze.ro/1z #
  • Nice, classy legacy for this woman and her fam­ily. MELODI WANT NUGGETS! FOR BREAKFAST! http://myze.ro/ff5na #
  • Our devel­oper friend @lucosmo is new in Lon­don and I’m sure he’d like a few more fol­low­ers, if any of you would be kind enough to oblige :) #
  • Still, at least the gov., unlike Russia’s Putin, haven’t dis­banded the fire­fight­ing ser­vice prior to a dry spell. Oh, wait > @Lon­donFBU #
  • Chan­nel Four news is a bun­dle of laughs tonight. Con­ser­v­a­tive ide­o­log­i­cal destruc­tion of nation, mopped up by ultra-resistant killer virus. #
  • Guilty snig­ger of the day – http://myze.ro/sd via @Cre­ativeRe­view #
  • Sculp­tural pylons – http://bit.ly/9yXlWV via @Simon­Parkin. Nice, but would pre­fer Tesla’s vision. #
  • Steve Jobs in 96. Still at NeXT, talk­ing web stan­dards, design, wash­ing machines and sim­ple toi­let roll. http://bit.ly/b6aXWY #
  • This com­pletely under­whelm­ing @mash­able story needs ‘adver­to­r­ial’ stamped right across it http://mash.to/2nSNJ #
  • L’Oreal cut­ting celeb spend? They’ve hired ‘Pe ne l ope Cruz’ instead of the real deal. #
  • “Glenn Beck’s mega-rally will co-star Sarah Palin on the anniver­sary of King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.” Nos­tradamus didn’t men­tion this… #
  • Ladies and gen­tle­men, we have a euphemism… http://myze.ro/d5vtw via @agen­cyspy #
  • The key word in McCan­d­less’ point is ‘can’, whereas the real­ity is more often ‘does not’ – http://myze.ro/ow via @design_week #info­graph­ics #
  • Finnish storm vid would be bet­ter if cam­era panned to reveal a guy in dun­ga­rees with a rifle in rock­ing chair, chew­ing straw. With banjo. #
  • I am tempted, metaphor­i­cally, to leave via the emer­gency slide some days. http://myze.ro/wkxf #
  • Early design les­son: read­ing, +/-13yrs old, Jon Hare of Sen­si­ble Soft­ware explain that the bells and whis­tles went in last. #
  • Wear­ing my wolf pelt, pol­ish­ing my blood dia­monds, enjoy­ing a nice cup of polar bear bile. #

  • Cof­fee, I love you. The Catholic Church once con­sid­ered it “the bit­ter inven­tion of Satan”… http://myze.ro/tzfr > @Alber­toNardelli #
  • Yes. Great idea. Why not make life more dif­fi­cult for the police so your mid­dle class fan­tasy remains intact? http://bit.ly/aPfZhP #

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.
