I got the invitation into Forrst few weeks ago, but I didn’t anything much in there. Forrst is much like Dribbble, but with more than just screenshots, because it also has options for links, questions and code. However, I still think Dribbble is better to browse for inspirations. Anyone can give me an invite?

Anyhow, I started to upload some stuff into Forrst, including a shot from a redesign works that I have been working on for KreativeThemes. If you have an account in Forrst, do follow me.  If not, you can apply for one.

Extra note: I’m back in UTP now. Working on my FYP project, hopefully.

Emptees is one of them. It is community-generated website, specifically for designers and tee enthusiasts to share (as in show off), and talk about their ideas and designs for amazing tees. Simple concept, simple website design, but great community. It is a product of Indie Labs, which is also the owner of Big Cartel, my another favorite website (different story).

Going through the design one-by-one, admiring the details in the illustration (and wishing how I can draw something like that) and read all the feedbacks – great time waster. I’m not a tshirt designer, because I suck at drawing. But as some of you might know from my Twitter, and my old blog, I’m quite a crazy person when it comes to tshirts. Statistically, I’ve spend over USD500 on online tshirt in 2009. Yeah, that kind of crazy.

Check out their Tees of the Day to see daily selection of amazing tee designs. Too bad the RSS feed on that page is not working correctly.

Similar to what happened when Apple first released their iPhone, now it is iPad turn. Everyone is talking about it on the internet. Well, at the least fanboys.

When Steve Job announced the iPad, I was pretty dissapointed at the design, and the name. Come on.. iPad? Really? And the design is quite typical. Like a piece of something. But the only thing that changed my perspective on iPad is the software. The operating system in it. It just, amazingly breathtaking. Check out the video yourself. The one where Jonathan Ive in it. Amazing guy by the way.

If you’ve used Apple product – either iPod touch, iPhone, or even Mac – you’ll see the effort they put into the details of the software. The transitioning, what happen when you click here, to here, the animation between it – everything is considered. Click the home button on your iPhone, you can see the transition where the icons coming in from the four corners. Do it with other device, you can only see the home screen immediately, no effect to please you. Apple somehow put some lives in their software to act and react in a natural way.

Now that Apple started shipping this thing, a lot more reviews on the applications and the hardware itself can be seen around the tech blogs – Gizmodo for example. Some apps can be really really good looking. That is the major factor of attractiveness in iPad.

I’m not saying that I’m getting one, or not getting one – although there is a thread selling it on Low Yat (via @mohdismail). It is a great device – for those who really need or want to use it or just want to smash it. I’m just proud of the technology and the advancement in it.
