LEP 2019 Logo Merchandise Available Soon

Model: Ingmar Saul

Shirts and sweatshirts featuring the logo I designed for the West Coast Estonian Days 2019 will be available to order soon. I'm really pleased with how they came out—I'm not really a hoodie person but I'll definitely be getting one of these!

SmartClik Scissor Design on the Market

I'm pleased to reveal some industrial design work I did at the end of 2016 for Washi Scissor, a manufacturer of high-end scissors for barbers and dog groomers. Washi's founder Marc Milman (introductions made by patent illustrator Denis Autridge of ASCADEX) asked for my help developing his idea. Scissors with swiveling thumb rings already existed, but the ability to lock the thumb ring at various angles, helpful to give users mechanical feedback while still accommodating differences in their hands and styles of working, is new.

An Update to My Résumé

I've updated my résumé to include some recent experience—my activities supporting the North Boynton Hacklab—and new skills I've acquired. This update is also an opportunity to better represent the fact that my employer CBM of America, Inc. shares me with TRA, Inc., which has no R&D team of its own; for the last ten years I've been developing products for telecommunications companies, under CBM, and for hospitals, under TRA.

My Current Business Card

For my freelance design and engineering work I've been using this business card, with contact information on the front and a list of services I offer on the back. The font is Gotham Rounded, which I've also been using for some CNC-routed signmaking recently as the inner radii of the letters in this font are ideal for that purpose.

These were printed by the UK firm Moo on 16 pt paper with a matte finish and rounded corners. Dimensions of 85 x 55 mm (Moo now calls this the “Moo size”) are standard in the UK and some of Europe.

Talking About the Musical Swings at FATVillage

On April 14th at 6 PM I'll be presenting a talk at Fort Lauderdale's FATVillage Projects (in the Flagler Arts and Technology district near downtown) as part of their Art+Tech Incubator Lecture and Workshop Series. My topic will be the musical swings project I helped with last year and about using electronics in interactive art installations. Hope to see you there!
