I decided to create some higher resolution wallpapers of my Code Panda drawing since the old ones were a bit small for newer devices like the iPhone’s retina display, the iPad and the recent Android phones. I created one for each of those mentioned. I’m leaving the old ones available for download too.

I have been drawing a lot on my new Wacom Intuos4. Last night I drew my usual panda character coding on his MacBook Pro. You can view the final painting on my Flickr. I also created iPhone and Android wallpapers out of it for myself since I have a G1 and a iPod Touch. I had people ask for them for their phones so I decide I will have them here to download.
I am considering doing more wallpapers if there is an interest. Let me know in the comments.
Update (Oct 14, 2011): I added higher resolution versions in a new post.

Today was the last day of Flashbelt 2009. This was my first time attending. I must admit that I did not really know what to expect. I’m really glad I went. There were several presentations that were just fascinating and inspiring. Some of the presenters that I think were the best were Grant Skinner, Mario Klingemann, Seb Lee-Delisle and Ali Momeni. There was plenty of good information. There were many things that made me want to research new ideas. There were also times when I was just blown away by the crazy things that they presented. I would definitely suggest going if you can. It was a little pricy, but definitely a lot less than most workshops. It is definitely a great place to meet other designers and developers. It’s a perfect place to network.

I love Crumpler. That’s not really a secret. I have a Six Million Dollar Home for my camera and a Parts and Parcel for my MacBook Pro. They make excellent bags which are beautifully designed and superbly functional. Recently, Crumpler launched a complete redesign of their site. It’s a full Flash site that is centered around the Crumpler store. The store is visually represented as an old vending machine. There are a bunch of things to play around with and discover. It’s a complete opposite of their last design which was very silly.

I just watched the season premiere of House. He’s back and he’s all alone. He is, however, accompanied by a white Gibson Flying V. The guitar is actually used as ransom against House throughout the episode. It was a little hard to watch at times. I would of cave as soon as I found out one of my guitars were kidnapped. Overall, the premiere did not disappoint. Hugh Laurie is always great in his role and the writing was solid. They didn’t start with a typical intro, which through me off. Usually when the person who shows a sign of ailment in the beginning of the scene is never the one who actually gets admitted.
On a related note, the official Fox website for the show is sort of weak. I thought it would look more like how their intro animation looks.

I’ve implemented a new layout. I’m editing a preexisting style. The end product will probably look completely different, but this layout is structurally close to what I want so I’m going to hack at this. This definitely looks better than what I’ve had up for the last few months. It was also the main reason why I haven’t posted anything latest. The design was depressing. Anyway, I’m optimistic now. I can add new posts and update the design at my own pace.
