One of my favorite Paul Rand quotes:

Art comes in the ingenuity of a designer who is able to, in a way, conceal art as a service to business.

When that happens, the product is beautiful. Exhibit A: Sony’s BRAVIA Balls. If you can afford the bandwidth, splurge and watch the high definition (H.264) version of the extended ad.

All four of our semi-regular visitors may have noticed: the site looks a little different. I finally got around to a much talked-about change and the site is finally settling in at its new digs. What does that mean for you?

First, the biggie: comments work again, yay! Second, the little things. You may be wondering where the photos and memories (i.e. the wiki with funny stories from our college days) have gone. They’re still around, though both will also be going through some changes to fit into the new world. I just haven’t had the chance yet to pull them out of the moving boxes, dust them off, and put them on shelves somewhere. With that said, you can get a “sneak preview of the photos”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyleandkelly/ over at Flickr.

This site has always been a work in progress, but I hope that will be especially evident in the upcoming months. The current design of the site was chosen because it provides a solid foundation, but it’s not the final product. Rather than creating a new masterpiece and unleashing it on the world (which was taking forever and part of the reason the move took so long) I’ve decided to split it up into smaller, more digestable pieces. Don’t be too surprised if you notice small changes each time you visit. On the other hand, it may sit stagnant for awhile. Unlike many of those home design TV shows, I’m not on a deadline :-)
