I’m John Holdun. I build things for the web.
Here are some other people’s things. Perhaps you would like to know more about me.
I hadn’t realized that Mulry Square—an intersection I know well—was the alleged inspiration for Hopper’s famous painting. Or was it? Follow this quest (in three parts + a coda) and decide for yourself. (via Sippey)

“Explore the world from inside a bush.” Thanks, I’d love to. I’d also love to just see one of these meandering down the street. (via Swiss Miss)

BigDog was horrifying because it was huge and buzzed (oh God the buzzing). Little Dog is horrifying because its movement is far too familiar for an artificial being. It still looks like a robot of course, but with just a little faux fur…Little Dog is climbing out of the Uncanny Valley. (via Gruber)

Nice grid-based take on window management in OSX. I’m not sure it’s going to suit me but I could hardly afford to NOT try it out. (via Ryan)

My sentiments exactly, but more deftly expressed.

This song, by members of Violens and Chairlift and written to just the video from a Justin Bieber track, is like St. Sanders’s work if he did lush, moody electronica. It’s also just pretty great on its own. (via Kitsune Noir)

Best ghetto-uncool gag I’ve ever seen. It’s so good that it’s almost unironic. And it’s an ADVERTISEMENT, to boot! (via Geaek)

A magazine in the form factor of a cassette’s liner notes. This is everything I love in life: weird format, compact information, unique design. (via Guy)

Holy whoa, dude. An isometric MMO engine built in Javascript that runs in the browser. And runs WELL. Really truly looking forward to trying this someday soon. (via Jarred)

Why does the watermark look like the Shroud of Turin, and can “BELL IN THE INKWELL” please become a meme? (via Bobby)

Wait! I mean sure, look at the photos of course, but then read what comes after them. Some of the best “how to treat a lady” writing I’ve ever seen. (via Michael)

Speaking of unfathomable wonders. (via Cameron)

Look at this. Look at what our commodity electronic devices can do for us. Look at the world we live in. Also maybe imagine better sound design. (via Dustin)

Photos of American factories and airports that were made to appear like harmless small towns from the air. I had no idea this happened! (via The Barbarian Blog)

This is, I believe, the first time I’ve simply linked an entire tumblelog. Something about the juxtaposition of these particular photos and videos and songs and such makes me think that Aaron and I would be good friends. As far as I’m concerned, your Tumblr account is your new book shelf.
