While that is true, and a problem, it doesn't make the point of the article any less valid. If anything, you are agreeing with it now.

I believe it's assumed that if a species is capable of producing a mechanism to communicate with other interstellar species, then they necessarily have an understanding of math and physics.

I've worked with Blake on several projects and he's on a different level. Highly recommend this action!

Very well done. Love the simple approach. Definitely going to check this out.

Awesome list! I used Zach's interaction library, Impulse, in a recent project and it's fantastic. http://impulse.luster.io/ This guy really knows his stuff.

Thanks. Impulse is a new interaction library: http://impulse.luster.io/

Thanks! And not yet, but I'm working on a blog post to show it off a bit more.

Thanks!

Did you happen to resize your browser? I notice that some things get janky because of the waypoints after resize. Need to work on that.

I wrote custom Backbone.js views and subviews to handle the shop tags. But you're right, this would be an awesome WordPress plugin. The affiliate network RewardStyle has something similar, but it's lacking a few things, which is why I wrote my own.

Hey, thanks for checking it out!

Where are you seeing the emails and IP addresses of the commenters?

Yeah, lots of opportunity here for sure. One thing I've been getting good feedback on from some fashion bloggers is the "shop the look" feature on each photo. Affiliate links is how many fashion bloggers monetize.

Thanks!

I learned Node.js by watch some of Pedro Teixeira's screencasts: http://nodetuts.com/

I'm using Express.js as the backend framework and read some tutorials on that. Can't remember which ones.

I learned Backbone.js by reading the docs: http://backbonejs.org/ along with reading source code of projects I was familiar with.

This best practices article came in handy too: http://geeks.bizzabo.com/post/83917692143/7-battle-tested-ba...

For layout design, I tend to sketch my UX ideas on paper. For this site, since it's so minimal, I designed straight in the browser using HTML / CSS (SASS)

Cool, good to hear! I will push towards it. Admin panel is located at a hidden URL right now. There are no user accounts yet, just a single, protected resource with a private key. That's one of the things I need to add.

No, I wrote it solely for the purpose of this blog, but I wouldn't mind open sourcing it after I add a couple more things to the admin panel (if there's interest).

AngelList is a great resource. Fill out your profile, connect with people you know, and list yourself as a contractor. Then go through jobs looking for contractors and hit "Yes." This is how I've found 90% of my contract work over the past 3 years (in the Bay Area).

Love this one "...you need to have that long-term willingness to be misunderstood. It's a key part of invention."

Please do. That's the one feature of Simplify I saw that made me want to switch.

In Dog Dental I really like how the bottom of the D forms the dog's neck.

The Oak Bros. logo took me awhile to figure out. Also, did you notice all of the hidden symbols in the "in woods" logo? There are 4 in there.

I hope we see lots of these from startups. The technique produces simple, meaningful, and memorable logos which also look really good.

The FedEx logo is the first time I noticed the negative space technique and really sparked my interest in branding. It's amazing how such a simple mark can represent so much.

The article is meant to present the concept and provide inspiration for other artists; it's not a treatise on the history of the technique. I plan to update it as I find more clever examples.

I had the same thought as I went back to append the names of the artists in the collection. I have seen lots of great logos designed by women as I've scoured Dribbble, just not so many using the negative space technique. What does that say? Maybe men and women perceive design differently? This would be an interesting topic to explore.

We need to treat our data like we treat our email. Define the common attributes comprising data within a particular application and define how to access that data (through an API). Come up with a common vocabulary for all data (crowd-sourced based on the current stewards of that type of application) and tie those calls into user identity providers (again, built around the common attributes of a user identity). Every interaction between apps and users goes through the user to collect permissions. Permissions are based on signals gained from all other interactions that have passed through the user identity provider. Signals like how often you interact with the app or user requesting the data, which topics you've interacted on previously, etc.. Data is still stored on separate app providers, but we now have simple access. The app provider uses the signals to build permissions specific to their application. Users can transfer their data from one provider to the next easily since all of the data definitions have been translated (assuming the apps are similar in nature).
