Everyone’s commenting on how brilliant it is so very well done. They’re also pointing out my spelling mistakes. Not so well done!

A beautifully done tilt-shift, time-lapse video with a perfectly appropriate soundtrack.

Letterheady

Letterheady is an online homage to offline correspondence; specifically letters.

This is an interesting archive of some of the world’s legendary people and organisations’ letterhead designs. Some of the most popular letterhead designs include; Adolf Hitler, Nikola Tesla Company and Albert Einstein.

Well worth taking a look at for some old-school inspiration.

Codex: The Journal of Typography

Kurt Trew — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 23:21:40 +0000

It’s finally arrived. The fragrant magazine smells delicious, fresh from the printing press and stuffed with lickable specimens of type. Can’t wait to get stuck in.

MobileUs – MobileMe for Small Businesses

Kurt Trew — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 22:25:27 +0000

Apple Inc. have big visions for cloud computing and seem to have concentrated solely on the consumer without much obvious, or at least visible, thinking for business. Yes, they have dabbled, but I think it’s time for something with a bit more meat on the bone. Something similar to using Snow Leopard Server, but ‘in the cloud’.

I am a small business owner who is also a paid-up subscriber of a Mobile Me family account. But I use these accounts for personal purposes and I think that Apple are missing a trick by not offering some form of Cloud Computing system for business. Sure, you could use the regular account for business, but here’s what I would want out of it specifically.

Calendar

A shared calendar that all team members could edit, or permissions could be set.

Address Book

A company-wide address book that is added to by all members of the team account and synced over the cloud.

iWork.com

A similar service to iWork.com, but harder working.

iDisk

This is a given. Share company files such as brochures, price sheets etc.

I think there is a genuine need to have a system setting and separate service for Mobile Me and Mobile Us, as some team members will also want to keep their personal account separate, especially when it comes to synching their home iPhones or iPads with their computer, for example.

Just a quick idea I had and thought I should get it off my chest.

What do you think?

Lendle. The easiest, fastest, fairest, and best way to lend and borrow Kindle™ books.

This is a really nice idea and brings the social web another step closer. If a fellow Lendler requests a book you own, you’ll get a notification asking if you want to lend it. When you lend a book, the borrower will have it for 14 days, and then it will be automatically returned to your Kindle.

Don’t forget that you don’t need a Kindle to read Kindle books; you can run Kindle on iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone and Android.

Nike+ launches screen saver

I have just installed the new screen saver from Nike+ on my Mac. It’s pretty good. If you track your runs using the Nike+ website it’ll show you all of your stats along the bottom of the screen, whilst showing stats from other people around the world. There’s a lot of running going on, for sure!

Testimonial – Writer’s Best Friend

Kurt Trew — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 09:55:51 +0000

Iceberg Creative set up my website two years ago. I wasn’t sure what I wanted, had no preconceived ideas about website design, and basically said ‘Help!’ Iceberg Creative talked me through the concept, offered useful suggestions about design and content and explained what I could do myself to boost my image. My website was up and running in less time than I had thought possible, and the aftercare has been wonderful. Thank you, Iceberg!

iPhone User Interface Stencil by Kapsoft

Kurt Trew — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:36:50 +0000

There is now another iPhone user interface stencil on sale for those of you who are interested in creating your own iPhone/iPod Touch application.

What makes this one unique is the fact that it is made from a durable plastic, as opposed to the aluminium version that I previously blogged about offered by UI Stencils.
