Update: Jan 20, 2012 My appologies for not updating this site lately. Flipboard has been keeping me a little busy. I'll try to work something out here soon, but in the meantime, you might want to say hello on Twitter, browse through a few photos here or peek into what it is like designing Flipboard.

new marumushi.com

After years of slacking I decided to finally update the old and rusty marmushi.com. There's some processing experiments, and a new toy app flickrgraph. So this is the plan, over there, you'll find a new newsfeed that I'm splitting now. This feed will be of a really loose character, and over there I'll try to stay as much focused in work as I can. I'm also featured in the cover of shift Sorry for the late post, I sent the link out to some friends, and left for Paris for the weekend. Now that I'm back I'm amazed on how the link to flickrgraph caught on, it seems to be all over the internet now. geez people chill out! he, well, no, really thanx a ton. the server was knocked out again a couple of times, but everything seems to be stable now.
