| Christmas Ornaments: ReCollections by Collins Design A great Match for thier other book, Christmas Re-Collections | | The knowledge the authors have on Christmas collectibles is massive. They are historical,and humorous. I bought the first book when I started collecting pixies and learned so much more from them about trim, authenticity and why people started decorating the way they did from the early 1900's through the 60's. This book is lovely, but their other book is better. I hope they write a third. | | Christmas Ornaments: ReCollections by Collins Design FABULOUS! | | This is a such a fun little book! Warm holiday memories, lots of humor and beautiful photography. I thoroughly enjoyed every page! The best gift book you will ever find for a vintage/antique ornament collector. | | Christmas Ornaments: ReCollections by Collins Design Xmas magic | | Even if you're not particularly sentimental about Christmas, the images and recollections of the authors are a delightful experience. The photos and graphics are charming and magical, obviously done by people who truely love the Christmas season. Anyone can appreciate the vintage flavor of this little gem. | | Christmas Ornaments: ReCollections by Collins Design A must for all Christmas tree lovers | Charming and nostalgic, giving us a glimpse into the history of holiday adornment. A great stocking stuffer!
Debbie Elliott | | Christmas Ornaments: ReCollections by Collins Design Great Memories | | This book brings back so many great memories of Christmas and decorating the tree. It was so much fun reading and looking through every page for ornaments that we might have had on our trees over the years and seeing the many different kinds of ornaments. It is a book that I will spend much time reading and viewing for many, many years. | | Christmas Ornaments: ReCollections by Collins Design Product Description | Every winter season, millions of households engage in the tradition of decorating the Christmas tree. And how many Americans have grown up with the delight of the annual unpacking of the family's ornament collection, gathered through the years; each one with its special story to tell? Christmas Ornaments: ReCollections brings back that feeling of childish wonder-a very special package to open year after year, filled with richly detailed pictures of exquisite glass ornaments, shiny and precious—and no one to tell you "don't touch"! The book is also a tribute to one of America's favorite pastimes: collecting. In this case, a collection built over the course of many years, found in flea markets, garage sales, antique shops, and on eBay. Ralph and David's passion for collecting and eye for quality comes through on every page; from the evocative photos and illustrations to the stories interspersed throughout, of how ornaments came to be such an important part of how we celebrate the holidays. A whole new appreciation of the fragile memories of Christmases past, Christmas Ornaments will be a crowd pleaser: a dazzling stocking stuffer or an inspiring treat for yourself. |
On the design of NetNewsWire’s first-run assistant
Me on inessential.com: “Normally this is kind of a boring thing—not one of the exciting features, not necessarily worth discussing. But since this is an example of a hybrid app with an online component, I thought it might be interesting to other developers of hybrid apps.”

Capn Design: “More than anything, I wanted a design that stayed out of the way. Reading posts via feeds instead of actual sites lets me consume more data. Having a simple, highly legible style makes it much easier.”

Nick on Simplicity
My co-worker Nick Bradbury (FeedDemon developer) posted an interesting series about app design and development called “Simplicity Ain’t So Simple.” (He can say “ain’t” because he lives in Tennessee. ;)
It’s in several parts: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6.
(Nick’s a Windows developer, but he often thinks like a Mac developer.)

The Delicious Generation
Rogue Amoeba: “I dubbed this new school ‘The Delicious Generation.’ Many of the design and marketing ideas of this new school seem to be derived from the successes of Delicious Library, and I’m sure many members of this generation would readily and happily list it as an influence.”
