Society6.com -> JHSINDESIGN

This past week I decided to check out the Society6 artist’s community/storefront. I have been shopping around for an online print and frame service for some of my photography anyway, so I decided, why not try a service that also connects artists together, similar to how the Blurb DIY book service does? So far, I [...]

Elian Cycles -> Keeping it Simple Since '05

Spring is in the air… and when that happens I’m usually thinking about bicycles and bicycle related projects. While browsing some new sites the other evening I came across this Holland based bicycle design shop called Elian Cycles. I like their montra of ‘keeping it simple’, their frames seem to have some interesting geometry going [...]

Wide Angle & Macro Lens Adapter -> Photojojo

I love toys, especially toys that enhance the toys that I already have. Photojojo just added a wide angle and macro lens adapter for SLR cameras to their photo-centric product line. Seems like a nice way to get some extra miles out of that old lens you’re getting a little tired of.

iPhone 3Gs Photos -> Jhsindesign Posterous

Hobnox -> Amazing In-Browser Audiotool (beta)

Powder Mountain HD -> Northern Utah

Powder Mountain Perspective from Ian Provo on Vimeo.

It’s February already, and as expected I have started to see 09 footage created by the fortunate souls of the world (the Ski Bums) start to pop up on Youtube and Vimeo. My Ski Bum phase was during my college years. Unfortunately, these days I rarely get out [...]

Velo Fever – Prep for Spring

It’s no secret that winter months in Minnesota are long and harsh. Going on my fifth year here, I have started to figure out a few ways to mentally cope with the realities of the relentless sub-zero climate. A few mental outlets that come to mind: planning a vacation, starting new projects (which [...]

Robot love – nerdy collectibles

I have been collecting robots and alien figurines for about ten years now. Everything from the old robot erasers from when I was a kid, to big beautiful retro tin robots. I have a box under my bed that contains about fifty alien figurines that used to be lined up across my mantle in my [...]
