What I’d really like is to be able to define my own mobile theme.

Killer idea! We just added a hook so you can override the default iPhone layout by adding a Custom Layout page with the url /iphone-theme. Have fun!

Tōhoku Japanese Earthquake Sculpture by Luke Jerram.

About the piece:

This sculpture was made to contemplate the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. To create the sculpture a seismogram of the earthquake, was rotated using computer aided design and then printed in 3 dimensions using rapid prototyping technology. The artwork measures 30cm x 20cm and represents 9 minutes of the earthquake.

Look for it soon at the Jerwood Space in London for a show called Terra. The show will also include his fantastic virus sculptures.

You may remember Luke Jerram for placing pianos all over Grand Rapids during ArtPrize 2010.

“let’s just recall a small list of sites and technologies the industry has insisted were all about infringement in the past: the player piano, the radio, the television, the photocopier, the phonograph, cable tv, the vcr, the mp3 player, the DVR, online video hosting sites like YouTube and more.”

Tomorrow afternoon, I will actually announce the title of my new book. I hope you like the title. I also hope you will imagine and design covers for the book, like the one above designed by Karen Kavett, except that you will have the advantage of knowing the actual title. Tag any such posts with the title of the book or ‘john green’ so I can see them, and thanks!
