Liam Sarsfield of MetaLab on Building Tumblr Themes
The idyllic seaside city of Victoria, British Columbia, is home to MetaLab, an interface design agency that’s discovered a profitable business in custom-built and à la carte Tumblr themes. So profitable, in fact, that themes are the main work product of a spinoff company called Pixel Union. Creative director Liam Sarsfield has strong opinions on what makes design beautiful — and how best to make it.
When was MetaLab formed, and by whom?
MetaLab was founded in 2006 by our commander-in-chief, Andrew Wilkinson. He had gone off to journalism school thinking that he wanted to change the world; he quickly realized that that wasn’t the way that he wanted to do it. He took up residence in his parent’s basement, and that’s how it started.

Leap represents an entirely new way to interact with your computers. It’s more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen.
Apple will most likely buy this (maybe) as they have shied away from a touchscreen desktop or laptop. The interaction created is similar to the experience on any iOS device but without the awkward feeling (maybe).
The debate here is motion over touch. While motion is cool and has been successful in games or other purposes where it makes sense there is a great deal of gratification from a touch interface.

We recently published an essay with regards to augmented reality, which can be read here.

Engineering at Circa: a peek under the hood
One of the more obvious challenges of building a stealthy startup is that no one outside the organization knows what the work is like. This is especially true here at Circa; while we’re focused on current events, we don’t think of ourselves as a traditional news organization.
