Badass Ideas

When recently making a comment on twitter regarding my RSS reader I had several people ask me to recommend some “good blogs”. The thing is, I go through phases, I have way too many tabs full to the brim in my netvibes and I have this compulsive morning ritual of going through and artfully clicking the crap out of them. I like feeds that update , but not TOO often. I like a nice mix of deep thought and inspiration. Depending on the season I have a different rhythm to this dance I do over coffee and cereal…sometimes bagels or corn muffins. Man, I love corn muffins. Here are 5 feeds I am into right now…

Black White Bliss
I recently stumbled upon this feed by accident, and while it does not update too often it has a lot of really interesting design-y things all sharing a similar color scheme. I really love black and white.. websites, clothing, photos… and here are tons of things that will all match. »RSS feed

Design Snips
In have an entire tab of my netvibes dedicated to web galleries and over a period of time I have really found designsnips to contain some of the most unique content. Rather than showcasing full web designs, DesignSnips hones in on the details.

Very Small Array
This feed is a recent discovery brought to my attention via my colleague Doug Avery. The author of this blog, who also draws an online comic makes these intriguing graphs and charts. I love graphs and charts… and maps and information design. Call me a freak, I don’t care, that shit’s cool.

Dezeen
Clean architecture and industrial design can be a really great place for web design inspiration. I have subscribed to this feed for a long time, and while I don’t check it that often, it is a delightful respite from the ins and outs of web design.
