"Software that tries to be everything to everyone generally sucks. It becomes bloated, hard to use, and in need of big up-front training. (Actually, that’s a pretty good definition of enterprise software right there)."

I just learned this about 90 seconds ago and it’s already changed my life.

Herb Lubalin ranks as one of the finest graphic designers of his time, and he’s also the man responsible for typefaces like Avant Garde Gothic, Lubalin Graph and Serif Gothic.
New York City’s Cooper Union school is currently holding an exhibition called Lubalin Now which features his work and more recent works in the same spirit, so if you’re in New York and in any way interested in design, I would highly recommend checking it out (I would if I could). The exhibition runs from now until December 8th with FREE ADMISSION at the Cooper Union Gallery, 41 Cooper Square, New York, NY.
Wow, Lubalin Graph is the typeface I use for L4F… and I really want Avant Garde. I didn’t know they were by the same designer.
Guess what you can do on your iPhone and Android now?!

Today is my last day at Vimeo. Starting Monday I will be working at Boxee.
The past three years of my life have been some of the best, making these past two months a difficult time for me. I’m unbelievably proud of Vimeo and how far it has come. The amount of knowledge, friendships, and confidence I have gained is priceless. It seems like only yesterday when Jake, Zach, Andrew and I were making the Vimeo in a tiny room in Tribecca. Vimeo and its team has come a long way since then and is set on a road to success.
I couldn’t be more excited about Boxee. If you don’t know what Boxee is, watch this video. The chance to help bring another awesome idea to fruition is something I can not pass up. Boxee’s potential is bottomless and I absolutely believe that it can change the way we use our TV’s.An extra special thanks to my friends and family for helping me through this difficult decision process. I’ll still be here in NYC and occasionally commuting to Tel Aviv.
I’ll truly miss working with my friends every day at Vimeo. It’s too bad we can’t be friends anymore.
I use Boxee everyday on my Apple TV… I’m excited to see what’s next for Boxee! Good luck Casey, you will be missed @ Vimeo for sure.
