I’ve been a fan of Twitter for some time now. Something about summarising little moments in my life and logging them just seems to spin my wheels. There are a few nice unique twitterers out there. Mostly real people but also some not so real. The Tower Bridge Twitter feed is one of the decent automated ones. Read the rest of this entry »

The footer, as if to warrant its physical position in life, can often be left until last during the design process, like some sort of digital outcast.
