Brand New: “Opinions on corporate and brand identity work.”

Bradley Ellis, who suggested the feed, writes that it’s “a design blog centered on companies that are redesigning their logos and appearance. It’s a great way to stay current with brand redesign, and see how logos are transforming.”

Surely you’re already subscribed to I Can Has Cheezburger?

It’s gotten so that I don’t even say I’m checking my feeds, I say I’m checking my cheezburgers.

Five Whys

Brent Simmons — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:53:08 GMT

Five Whys “is the Japanese philosophy of repeatedly asking why to find not only the direct sources of your problems, but also the root of those sources. It's about thinking long-term and looking both ahead and behind, not just in the present.”

It’s about design and society.

Garfield minus Garfield

Brent Simmons — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:11:34 GMT

Garfield minus Garfield “is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.”

It’s also funny.

43 Folders has gotten really super good.

“After 4 years and a lot of productivity pr0n, we’re shifting gears.”

Also: “I want to help you identify and remove any obstacle that keeps you from making things that you love. And then I want to help you figure out how to make those things even better.”

Corporation Unknown

Brent Simmons — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:17:53 GMT

Corporation Unknown is written by Seattle-ite Paul Goracke. You may not know who he is — he’s new to the indie world, and his app isn’t shipping yet. But he’s done the smart thing: ship the weblog first. ;)

Don’t miss both parts of his WWDC recap.

Twitturly

Twitturly “is a service for tracking what URLs people are talking about as they talk about them on Twitter.”

No surprise, the top item by far right now is The Rise and Fall of Twitter, which this reporter found extraordinarily funny.
