Detroit Labs: Introducing Koha. Also, we need a favor from you...:

We’re gathering feedback on an app we’ve put together. It’s called Koha and it’s something we’ve been using when we go out to eat to see who pays next. Here’s how it works in 3 steps.

STEP 1

Go out to eat with friends and ask for one bill. Good job. You made the waiter’s day. Then open…

Ian Storm Taylor:

When you put pure black next to a set of meticulously picked colors, the black overpowers everything else. It stands out because it’s not natural. All of the ‘black’ everyday objects around you have some amount of light bouncing off of them, which means they aren’t black,…

IN HONOR OF MEMORIAL DAY: During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt pledged that Filipinos who fight for the United States will be granted citizenship and military benefits. As a result, over 200,000 Filipinos fought side by side with American soldiers during World War II. Shortly after the war ended, that promise was taken back with the Recission Act of 1946. It was not until 2009 when President Obama signed a bill that would give Filipino World War II veterans a lump sum compensation of $15K ($9K for those living in the Philippines) to the less than 18,000 veterans who are still alive today. Yes, such an amount is not commensurate to the benefits they missed out on for over 50 years, but yet to this day a majority of them still have not received such meager compensation. So, LET US REMEMBER THE FILIPINO VETERANS WHO WERE NOT ONLY VICTIMS OF WORLD WAR II, BUT ALSO VICTIMS OF INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM.

Shinbashi Dori

Paper is the hot new drawing app for the iPad, and with good reason. The app features an elegant, minimal interface, gorgeous transitions, and intuitive gestures throughout. For me, the app also hits the perfect balance between simplicity and power: While it doesn’t feature the multitude of drawing tools/options that apps like Sketchbook Pro have, it offers much more than “simple” sketching apps like Penultimate. As you can see from the sketch above, the limited toolset is still quite capable of creating beautiful sketches.

The app is free to download and try, but comes with limited drawing tools. Each extra tool is $1.99 via an in-app purchase, or you can buy them all for $6.99. Interestingly, you can also try each too, in-app, before making a purchase.

You should also check out their Tumblog, where they have been posting sketches from users, showing everything from artistic sketches to application wireframes.
