Find me at Bunker

I like to talk endlessly about anything related to the design and development of websites and mobile apps, technology, and the creative industry, which may tickle your fancy.

Jeremy Keith Pirates the Pirate

bunkercollective:

I have had my personal websites pirated more than once, and I have devised very creative ways of dealing with the perpetrators. But Jeremy Keith is as masterful at pirating pirates as he is making the web a better place for all of us.

This post includes audio of a telephone call he made to the company who pirated the Clearleft website. It’s as awesome as you might expect.

bunkercollective: The illustrations of Cody Rocko are quite unique. They’re more sketches than anything, yet they evoke a sense of curiosity and wonder. And, after all, that’s what art should do. He also posts some interesting things (many of a macabre nature) to his Tumblr.

bunkercollective: Happy birthday, World Wide Web! Twenty years ago today the first website was published and was announced to the world by CERN. What a ride it has been and will continue to be. Thank you, Tim Berners Lee and co. We appreciate your ingenuity.

Meet Mark Setteducati. He is a magician, inventor, and artist. He creates toys and other things which he declares to be art, noting:

I guess I’m an inventor because I have a lot of patents and I invent things. But I consider myself more of a magician and an artist than an inventor, because most inventors try to improve the world. They try to create the better mousetrap, or make improvements on something. But for me it’s more of a personal expression.

So, really, Mark is a farmer of imagination. He harvests ideas then shares the crop with the world. And people like him are few and far between.

This video is a great introduction to Mr. Setteducati, and you can learn more about him on his website.

Back in May of 2007, Matt Novak over at Paleofuture wrote a post about the company Knight Ridder who was exploring the future of newspaper publishing in the form of touch-screen tablets all the way back in 1994. The video you see here showcases their concept of paperless publishing sixteen years prior to the release of Apple’s first iPad.

Almost a decade later Knight Ridder was purchased by The McClatchy Company, who is now the third-largest newspaper company in the United States. And they’re living the Knight Ridder dream with tablet and mobile apps for most of their newspapers like the Miami Herald and Fresno Bee.

Colorado Rapids Kits with All 1,451 Season-Ticket Holder Names

bunkercollective:

Bunker is from Portland. We are unequivocally Portland Timbers fans. Absolute RCTID. But we are in love with the primary Colorado Rapids kits for the 2013 MLS season.

Colorado Rapids 2013 kit

The jersey for that kit sports thick bands around the trunk comprising the names of all 1,451 season-ticket holders. What an absolutely delightful expression of gratitude from a team to its fans.

If you believe in the power of collective energy and the laws of quantum physics, you might say the Rapids now have what they need to win the 2013/2014 title. But then again, they do need to get past the Timbers to make that happen. And we have our own collective energy.
