About
My name is Levi McCallum (@stillmotion). I'm a creative designer and entrepreneur on the internets. Somehow it has been engraved into my being that I desire to learn and do everything, thus I use this dot com to collect my thoughts and interests into a universal hub of ultimate knowledge.

“The Mac team defines the "reality distortion field" as different from how we describe it today: An engineer would mention an idea to Jobs, who would call it stupid, and weeks later he'd bring it up as his own, knowingly or not.”

Really digging this new track. A little Autotune, a little humanitarianism. Kanye eat your heart out.

Ze Frank at Webstock '09 ∞
I love Ze so much. Good to see him continuing to inspire the world.
From the value of contribution to the challenges of feeling a virtual audience, Ze will share notes, practical advice and war stories.

LOST: Three Black Swans... ∞
This is probably the most genius LOST theory I have ever read. Completely boggles my mind, but the sheer complexity of its makeup is something I believe J.J. Arbams has had up his sleeve this entire time. If it goes down like this, I'm willing to label LOST today's modern Odyssey.

Agony: I find myself spending too much time in this city. I don't like it.

“There’s this gap. For the first couple years, when you’re making stuff, what you’re making is not that good. You’re trying to make it good but it’s really not that good. But your taste is still killer, and you’re taste is good enough that you can tell that what you’re making is a disappointment to you. And a lot of people quit at this stage.”

TOMS Shoes Blows My Mind ∞
These guys totally blow my mind. Taking a concept that would normally be a non-profit endeavor and turning it into a self funding for-profit business is one of the most genius things I've ever seen. I've been thinking about establishing a non-for-profit organization in a couple years, but I now realize building a company that can help the world and provide funds to grow itself is truly a world changing concept. By the way, if you're as blow away by this video as I was, go buy a pair of TOMS shoes, not only because they look great, but because you're also helping a child in need.

New Life Church Ascent Conference Email Newsletter: I was asked by New Life Church to design an email newsletter for their upcoming Ascent pastor's conference. This is what I created.
Hipsterist: Hipsterist was a concept that brewed in the back of my mind since early 2008. I longed for a powerful voice in clean cut fashion, but I failed to find it. Nothing satisfied me, so I created my own. Realizing the goal, I wanted to design a blog that would not only challenge current design trends, but also mimic the attention to detail that make fashion designers who they are. This is what I created.

Empire of the Sun - Walking On A Dream ∞
I love these guys so much. Somehow that white strip across the face makes everything 10x better. I just realized they're Aussies too, which also makes everything 10x better.
Paratweet ∞
This basically takes tweets with hash tags and puts them into a stream for public projection. It seems like a cool tool to use when you're doing live events with some sort of "silent" QA. However, $299 for six months isn't something that a Twitter API interface—yes, Twitter—should charge. Next please!

Google Chrome Mac Developer Preview ∞
Trying this out. Seem to have the same issues as the Chromium nightly builds, as there's no flash support and HTML5 web pages don't recognize it as Chrome. A little disappointed, but seeing this makes me realize my dreams of dropping Safari for a more competent WebKit experience are closer to reality that I realize.
