Hi. I make user interfaces and experiences. This is my Posterous of random useless things. For my blogazine, which has the good stuff, head over to dustincurtis.com.

This is possibly the greatest meal on Earth.

Ikea Swedish meatballs. And Linginberry Drink. Bliss.

Someone pointed me to Crispin Porter + Bogusky's new site, http://beta.cpggroup.com. I think it might actually be worse.

If anything, it's very ugly, confusing, and I don't really get much value out of it; they seem to be tapping the social web just to tap the social web. That's a tacky and annoying use of Web 2.0. Skittles did it right, but CPB seems to be doing it wrong. This is not an impressive website for an advertising agency. Especially one with such amazing work.
 
Crispin Porter + Bogusky's work makes me feel like their brand should be about connecting big clueless companies with a more modern society. They are doing this insanely well with Burger King and Volkswagen. Why not use that creative power and build a site that is modern, beautiful, and useful?
 
Ugh. At least this was funny to see:

(Also, I thought Barbarian Group did subservientchicken.com, but CPB takes credit for it. Hmm. Anyone know why?)

I'm eating a hamburger at 6am. Because I can.

I love New York City. If you're ever here and want a great meal at a ridiculous hour, L'Express is a great 24-hour French restaurant.

I'm going to New York City tomorrow on Virgin America!

I'm only going to be in NYC four days, but I have four meetings and a trip to DC scheduled. It's going to be an action-packed week.
 
Then, on the 7th, I might be going to Japan! And then on the 20th, to Aruba!

There's something about building IKEA furniture that is very motivational


My friends at Twitvid and Scoopler are moving into a new office in San Francisco. This is such an exciting time in a startup's life. There's something about building IKEA furniture that is very motivational. Going to ridiculous lengths to screw in table legs (like this: http://twitvid.io/abQt ) and building crappy swedish filing cabinets is lots of fun. 

Here's the halfway point:
