My Own Worst Critic
My, my. I thought I would never be done. I'm going to be honest and say I've worked on this blog on and off for 6 months. Every time I sat down and designed levimccallum.com, it consisted of a new design, new style, and a new face for myself. But it is time I got over myself and actually did something.
Here it is, the site and home of Levi McCallum. I've always wanted to have my own personal home, yet never had the time nor the patience to create something for myself.
Enjoy it, please.

This makes waiting for this movie all the more exasperating.

Neo FreeRunner Good to Go for Launch Next Week
I'm pretty excited about the OpenMoko project. Ever since the release of the SDK kit last year, I've been waiting and hoping that this thing will be an equal qualifier to the iPhone, or at the least, Android. I cannot wait to see how this thing pans out.

Bamboo Laptop Stand
Found this one yesterday. I've been in the market for a docking station for my Macbook Pro recently, but have been unable to find something that knocks the socks of my feed and is ergonomic with my desk space. I'm down with this one.

SproutCore is Running a Competition
SproutCore is a pretty amazing framework. I've been needing an excuse to use it since day one, and I guess this is my chance. July 21st is the due date if anyone is interested.

Productive Procrastination
NPR's Talk of the Nation talks about procrastination and how to be a "productive procrastinator". I never realized I could take something as dangerous as procrastination and use it to work for me. Priceless.

Today ICANN Ruined the Internet
Looks like anyone is going to be able to register a TLD domain. My my, so many problems this is going to cause.

Pantone Espresso Cups
Yes, I admit, I am an espresso junkie. The blend of flavors and the pure sharpness to a single shot can make me smile for hours. But not only does the coffee get me excited, it is also the cups. A good cup can make all the difference in the world. If I lived in the UK, I'd buy these with out a doubt.

Print Magazine
Recently, I have been looking at a lot of magazine designs for the launch of a new magazine a friend of mine and I are working on. By far, Rumors' design of Print Magazine is one of the most beautiful concepts of clean typography and line positioning. My goodness, I love lines!

NASA is Looking for Astronauts
Pretty cool. No longer do you need to be a fighter pilot to go into space and land on the Moon. I think they should've made this into a reality TV show instead of a job posting.
