Ryan Sims on a revived Justwatchthesky
“An exercise in documenting words in the music I listen to with color and type. The constraints are simple: (1) Only use Georgia (serif) or Helvetica (sans) and (2) try to post as often as possible.”

On a brief break from diaper changes and time-outs, I have an important announcement. Several months ago, I put out a call for help. Today, I'm excited to announce the search is over!
Meagan Fisher (talented designer, front-end coder and owl aficionado) will be joining us as a part-time assistant. Meagan has recently moved from sunny Florida to Salem, and will help SimpleBits become slightly less tiny than it's been for the past six years or so, beginning next month. I'm really excited about some of the new things this will allow us to work on.
Some of her recent work includes a wonderful Rails Machine redesign (where she worked with Dan Benjamin, who I owe for putting us in touch) and Halogen Guides Greener. You can read more about her big move over at her blog.
So, welcome aboard, Meagan -- and get ready to become a converted Red Sox, Patriots and Celtics fan (I'm omitting the Bruins since they have a bit of catching up to do).

BusinessWeek on the Sphere redesign
I chatted with a friendly writer over at BusinessWeek recently, and the result is a little article focused on the redesign of Sphere. Part of a larger Web Design Special Report published last week. # -
Kerry and I welcomed the birth of our daughter yesterday. Tenley Murphy Cederholm was born June 25th at 1:22pm. Six pounds, eleven ounces of pure joy.
Where our 2 1/2 year old son Jack came six weeks early, Tenley decided to do it her own way, arriving 3 days late. Everyone's doing wonderfully though, and Mom and baby will be coming home tomorrow.
I'll be taking the next month off as much as possible as we adjust to newborn status once again. See you in a bit.

Huge Job
I recall being impressed with Huge Inc.'s redesign of IKEA (em-based layout, no less). They have an intense client list, and recently listed an open Web Architect position. Huge opportunity? # -

Cork coffee cup sleeves
Not only do they look cool, they allegedly insulate better than paper sleeves, and are made from renewable cork bark, which is harvested without cutting the tree down. # -
