Over at LiFT Studios I’m learning the art of the interview and the art of video production while working on the LiFT Studios Broadcast (LSB) – a weekly podcast about all things design. A while back I sat down with Haig Armen, the founder and director of LiFT, to talk about his approach to design, the future of interaction design, and the LiFT philosophy. You can watch the video over at the LiFT site or subscribe to the weekly podcast feed. Take a moment and check it out – feedback on presentation, questions, audio levels, and anything else is very welcome.

It all stems from: git clone --bare

Despite my strongest hopes that spring is here, it’s still freezing outside.

In April of 2008 I relaunched Protocol 7 with Oulipo, my personal variation on the black and white, grid-based design style. Over the months it was featured in a several galleries and I received a number of emails from people interested in using the theme on their own site. Now that I’ve redesigned Protocol 7, Oulipo is ready for its public debut.
Though Oulipo was quietly released about a week ago, I didn’t want to make an announcement until it was accepted to the WordPress Themes directory. Weblog Tools Collection posted the theme on January 5th, and since then Oulipo has been popping up on a few blogs. This is the first time I’ve released a personal design and it makes me incredibly happy to see it being used.
I’ve made a few changes to the original design, namely adding support for sticky posts and threaded comments that arrived with WordPress 2.7. I’ve also removed the custom archive template for Oulipo because it requires some fiddling and doesn’t work out of the box. Additionally, the custom template relies on a slightly modified version of Justin Blanton’s Smart Archives. If you’d like to use the custom archive for Oulipo, the template and modified plug-in can be downloaded here. Instructions on installing and configuring the plug-in can be found on Justin’s Smart Archives page. Please note, I’m providing these files as-is and do not plan on providing support for these additions.
If you like a clean, minimalist look, Oulipo might be for you. View the Oulipo demo or just go ahead and download version 1.0.
