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.

Introducing Remote Driver

It is probably because of this project that I am freaking out with deadlines now. A friend at the office showed up a couple of days ago with one of those rc cars you can drive with your keitai.
