TumblePhone →
matthewb: The feedback on my recent iPhone interface for Tumblr was that it was difficult to set up, so I’ve made it easier. You can now direct users to an iPhone-optimised version of your Tumblr site using a URL like this: http://tumblephone.com/<username>/ The core of the resulting site is the same as for the self-hosted version, with none of the hassle. If you use it, let me know.

Paris, le film  →
You can easily tell the flash websites that have been built on a mac because the animation and transitions are somewhat abrupt and hasty when viewed on PC. That said, the website for Paris, le film is a gorgeously constructed, non-fixed width (thank god) web experience. a l’amor.
