Grids – Basic Maths WordPress theme by Vince Khoi

On the subject of good grids, Vince Khoi’s new grid for WordPress is a breathe of fresh air in their ‘theme’ library. Vince is the Design Director for the NewYorkTimes.com

Basic Maths employs clear tagging, categories and multi-functional archiving – creating a more intuitive ‘contents page’. The short code function to reveal his base columns is a nice little typographic touch.

Wondering if our blog could pick up this theme??

Food for thought?

‘Digital Gastronomy’ – an interesting concept from fluid for ‘printing’ food via an inkjet-style of rendering.

‘I’ll eat my hat’ wouldn’t be such an empty promise if this becomes a reality.

On a serious note, it does have some interesting possibilities for the fast moving consumer food market where structure, density, temperature and form could be designed without detriment to nutritional content.

…Heston Blumenthal would love this.

...another wobbly interface?

An analogue website created by Mathew Plummer Fernandez. It exists, it can be touched and is ‘built’ in a physical space, but is also translated to the world wide web as pixels via a webcam. Mathew explains the issues in building his site… ‘The website kept crashing (in a physical sense – the train would derail) so work is underway to make it a more stable site.’
