After taking four months off from blogging, my personal site electricgecko.de is back up alive and kicking. And it’s brought an all-new typographic party outfit for this year’s last day. If you have a knack for simple, type-centric layouts stop by and have a look (the content’s German, though).

Tumblr Awards 2008 →
Whew, I just noticed I got nominated for the Tumblr Awards. So if you care and liked my thoughts and links this year, you can give me a little christmas gift by voting for me in the Art / Design category. And while you’re at it, check out all those great Tumblelogs out there. Amazing stuff.
Oh dear. Is it this time of the year again? Merry Christmas!

Unorthodox but very intriguing new design, based on a basic idea: posts are ordered along a calendar that spans across all pages. I’m not too fond of transparencies, but they work well for me in this case. Via Jon Hicks.
