Permanence
I had this design for 10 years. It’s evolved a bit—primarily gotten simpler—but the concept has stayed the same. I figure a decade is a good interval to wait to put something permanent on your body. One week in, it’s been interesting listening to different people’s interpretation of the meaning of a circle.

It’s All Pete Tong
My favorite part of this clusterfuck:
Rebecca says: “I did blame Pete Tong at first, though now I realise that it was internet social networking that is the real culprit. It's incredible. I am struggling to comprehend the power of it.”

Ze Frank on Breaking Up
Ze Frank’s letter with gems like these:
“Even though you’ve become massively in debt from gifts you bought your ex, at least your newfound addiction to cigarettes has left you with bad breath.”
“Since on average you fall in love every 9 years, you’ll only be 40 when it happens again.”
“You get to do a huge spring-cleaning regardless of the season since half your stuff is now in the “memorabilia” category.”
“You get to experience what its like to be a depressed, tormented artist…just without the motivation or talent.”

Hi, I’m Randy Reddig, sometimes known as ydnar. I love Pantone 213, Helvetica, and electro. We’re making beautiful babies.
I’m a cyclist, designer, nerd, climber, musician, tourist, rider, gamer, coder, brother, son, and friend.
I flick, ffffind, tweet, travel, dance, link, and vox. From here you can view my resume or portfolio, send me an email, subscribe to my blog’s feed, add me to your TypePad people list, or guess where I am now.
I also love Pista, skids, coffee, beer, indie rock, San Francisco, Lego, .tiff, 日本, furniture, cooking, trainwrecking, solving problems, minimalism, and the number 13.
I admire Alfonso Cuarón, Lynn Hill, Banksy, John Roebling, Neal Stephenson, Jeff Buckley, Charles and Ray Eames, Michael Chabon, Hunter S. Thompson, Steve Jobs, Rick Rubin, Frank Lloyd Wright, Larry Wall, William Gorgas, Mike Skinner, Ridley Scott, Linus Torvalds, and Miles Davis.
I read Amanda, Anil, The Atlantic, AutoblogGreen, BaGEL Radio, btrott, bradfitz, Dabysan, David, The Economist, Electoral Vote, FFFFOUND, Hot Rod, Jay, Khoi Vinh, KT, markpasc, Michael, Monoscope, nerdgirl, Political Wire, Steve, Tatsuhiko, The Times, TUAW, Typographica, Xis, and Winnie.
When I was young I was a camp counselor, made videogames and painted things, played music, and lived in seven states and two countries. I’ve never been to Burning Man, but plan to. If I had to choose, I’d rather climb Mount Everest. When I grow up I want to be a firefighter, a cargo pilot, a sculptor, an archeologist, an architect, a CEO, a doctor and a lawyer. I was a runway model once. I eat local and organic, recycle and turn the lights off when I leave. I cannot speak Boontling and do not have my own Wikipedia article.
