Agreed.

My man Till Wiedeck just updated his portfolio, HelloMe™, with some amazing work for Schaltkreis and other clients. He’s also setting up a new studio in Berlin and did this poster as a self-initiated project. What can I say — it’s one of the best typographic artworks I’ve seen in months.
Please also note Tills brand new blog, HelloYou™, running on Tumblr. I contributed with some frontend stuff and did the code. Follow Till. He rocks.

Couchio is on tumblr now, and Damien sums up some thoughts on building an Open Source Company.

People are hired based on contributions to open source. Code, documentation, advocacy, community help, legal help, etc. People who work to make the world better for everyone through open source are the people we hire.

[…]

We don’t want people who tend to ask “How can I contribute? What should I do?”. We want people who identify for themselves what needs to be done and how they can contribute, and then do it. Our employees want to contribute to make things better, not for a paycheck, not for validation from a manager or even the community. They do it because they think it will make things better.

Really, you should read the whole text. Man, I’m so excited to work with these guys.

I am very much looking forward to the first meetup of the newly founded Berlin-based frontend/webdesign usergroup which is called: upfront.
Focus of the group will be around front-end development as 
a whole, with topics covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, usability and 
more. The plan is to meet every second Tuesday of the month. There will be talks, 
discussions and the chance to meet up with interesting people.  For our first installment we will have a talk by Jens Nikolaus, 
presenting his idea of a “web-designer” and asking what you must bring 
in to call yourself one. 

So if you’re a webdesigner/frontend coder from Berlin, be there. Tuesday, February 9, 7pm, at co.up coworking space. There is a googlegroup, there is a twitter, and I bet there will be a website soon, too.

Jürgen Bergbauer: untitled (parterre de pieces coupees II), 2004, from the series Jardin a  la francaise.
Also see his works Studien  nach der Natur and citta ideale / city of sails. Photographic archives of everyday objects, deconstructed and re-arranged. No context, sheer form.
Via Tail Recursion, thanks for pointing me at it.
Sketchpad is a really slick online drawing application. And it’s pure HTML5 awesomeness. Plus, it has a spirograph.
Birches.
